The British band The Vaccines heads the latest confirmations of the fourth edition of Mallorca Live.
The group, which will be presenting its fourth album, Combat Sports, at the Mallorcan festival, will take rock and roll to a line-up of artists led by Jamiroquai in its only concert in Spain in 2019, Two Door Cinema Club, Vetusta Morla and Amaia.
The festival today announced twenty more artists at a press conference at the Hotel Reina Victoria in Madrid, in which participated Álvaro Martínez, director of Mallorca Live, Sofía Muntaner, Global Brand Marketing Manager of INNSiDE by Meliá, Alfonso Rodríguez Badal, Mayor of Calvià and Sebastián Vera, artistic director of the festival.
Highlighted amongst the new confirmations are regular artists in festivals line-ups such as Fuel Fandango, Second and Ramón Mirabet; two of the most powerful Latin American proposals of the moment such as the Argentinian Babasónicos or the Peruvian Dengue Dengue Dengue, the Mallorcan bands Isla Iglú, Dinamo, Sweet Poo Smell, Hans Frauen and The Market Noise and one of the most thriving groups in Ibiza: Billy Flamingos.
The festival continues with its commitment to electronic music, led this year by Laurent Garnier, Dixon and Maya Jane Coles, with the confirmations today of the Canadian Mathew Jonson, the Galician Baiuca, the Ibizan Los Dos, and a great number of Mallorcan DJs: Satore, Rosana Nun, Guri feat Eider, The Southnormales, Disco Canela, J.A.M.C., Bocabeats and Goodman. Most of these DJs will perform in the new fourth stage, sponsored by the group Sentados en el Techo, which will also be present for the first time this edition in the also renewed gastronomic and chill out area.
This year 36,000 visitors are expected throughout the weekend, which is an increase of 35% over last year. This growth is also reflected in the festival's budget, which will go from two million last year to over three million in 2019, and in the growth of the venue, with five thousand square metres more for the restaurant, chill out and market area and a 40% increase in the area for the second stage. "We want the public to enjoy the best of experiences, that's why we are working on improving infrastructures and services: we will have more metres of bars and more food stalls," assured the director of Mallorca Live, Álvaro Martínez, during the press conference.
The festival will count one more year with the sponsorship of Meliá Hotels International, in this edition through the brand INNSiDE By Meliá. "Through the collaboration with Mallorca Live Festival we seek to widen the new concept of INNSiDE by Meliá as a brand, using links to the festival as the kind of public we share, that travelling spirit inherent to festivals and hotels and the great commitment to sustainability, highlighting the joint commitment to the environment, "said Sofia Muntaner, Global Brand Marketing Specialist of INNSiDE by Meliá.
One more year the appointment will be held at the old Aquapark in Calvià, on 10th and 11th May 2019. The mayor of the town, Alfonso Rodríguez Badal, confirmed the municipality's commitment to host major quality events such as the Mallorca Live Festival, essential to remain being a leading tourist destination that wants to distinguish itself for its quality. "Calvià needed to recover great musical and cultural performances, and the MLF puts us on the map as the site of one of the best music festivals in Spain", said Rodríguez Badal, who ended his speech affirming: "We are happy to have the MLF again in Magaluf, in Calvià ".
The artistic director of the festival, Sebastián Vera, highlighted the commitment of the festival with the artistic talent of the islands, incorporating local bands to the line-up, sponsoring Mallorca Live Talent and supporting the MusiCalvià competition. He also advanced some of the new parallel activities such as the MLF PRO, the celebration of a musical gymkhana on the island, the Mallorca Live Kids for the little ones, the collaboration with the UIB to bring urban art to the university or the new stages on the beach of Calvià.
