The Lanzarote Cabildo have just announced the dates for this year’s “Música Visual” festival, which returns for the 17th edition.
After two years of absence due to restrictive measures, the “Música Visual” concert returns to celebrate its 17th edition. Starting on the 11th of October there will be 11 days of avant-garde concerts in spectacular natural spaces and unique areas on Lanzarote.
The festival is a benchmark event for contemporary music and other avant-garde artistic experiences, in complete harmony with the island’s wonders, such as Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes, Convento de Santo Domingo and the El Almacén centre.
Festival and director and founder, Ildefonso Aguilar, assures that the festival is a unique alternative to what’s normally on offer on Lanzarote. “After the long hiatus caused by the pandemic, it will take a lot of work to get it up and running again”, Aguilar stated.
