FIV - Festival Internacional de Vilalba (Vilalba's International Festival)

Hi! We are going to talk about the FIV Music Festival. FIV is an annual musical spring festival which takes place in the town of Vilalba, Lugo, Spain, which is about 177Km from Vigo and it takes 1 h and 45 minutes to arrive by car. It focuses mainly on indy, pop and electronic music. Nowadays it is one of the most important festivals in Galicia.

The festival begins on Friday and typically the concerts are on Friday night and Saturday night. A free of charge camping zone exists which is used by the persons who want to attend the two days and it opens on Friday evening until Sunday evening.

The festival is getting bigger and bigger and the organisors bring better groups each year. In the last edition, groups such as "La casa azul", "Delorea", "La habitación roja" y "The whip" participated.

This year, 2013, the FIV took place 22nd and 23th March and the cost of admission was €20 for one day and €25 for the whole festival.

Now you know, so don't miss it next year!
