The Cruïlla claims itself as "a great event made in Barcelona aimed at the local public"

Source Summary

The experience of some artists and the repertoires performed have made the difference in the sixteenth edition of the Cruïlla festival. The nostalgia card has been a winner because Suede, Pixies, The Black Crowes have offered good concerts, some even extraordinary, and because the audience has responded positively to the proposal. In total, Cruïlla 2026 has gathered 73,000 attendees, 9,000 fewer than last year, when a record of 82,000 was reached. But the decline is not explained by the so-called nostalgic days of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but because Wednesday, the day intended for the younger audience, has been less successful: Halsey, Wednesday's headliner, only attracted 9,000 people, half of the 18,000 that Gracie Abrams had in 2025.
