The fourth edition of Irídia Fest arrives in Barcelona on 13 and 14 March, committed to blending electronic music, traditional sounds and social advocacy. The festival, centred on culture and human rights, will take place at two key venues: CCCB and Paral·lel 62.

On Friday 13 March, CCCB will host the opening day with free admission. The spotlight will be on the international collective Artists at Risk, which will share its experience supporting artists persecuted or endangered by armed conflicts. Since 2013, more than a thousand creators have found refuge thanks to this network, which works with more than 330 centres around the world.

On Saturday 14, music will take over at Paral·lel 62. The Moroccan-Tunisian duo Aïta Mon Amour, made up of Widad Mjama and Khalil Epi, will present its proposal inspired by the chikhates, women aïta singers with roots in the 12th century. The line-up is completed by Valencian collective Faixa, Melilla DJ Hajar and Galician artist Baiuca, who will perform a DJ set.

Tickets for Saturday night are now available on the festival website for 25 euros plus booking fees. The event promises a unique experience where music and social advocacy go hand in hand in the heart of Barcelona.
