Icónica Fest, Seville - 16th September to 14 October 2022
The First edition of Icónica Fest, Seville in 2022 headlined with Culture Club and Boy George, Patti Smith and Bans Deep Purple and Ludovico Einaudi along with Paul Kalkbrenner, C Tangana, 50 Cent, Curtis James Jackson III. The festival took place over four weeks; presenting acts on 19 nights on the stage in the iconic Plaza de España . Alongside the main stage was ‘The Village’ where festival attendees and visitors enjoyed DJ sessions and other stage acts for free, supported by a range of cuisine in two areas; Mercado Gourmet and Restaurante 1929. On nights when there was no act on the main stage a ‘son et lumière’ show called Inonica Light was displayed which was inspired by the fondly remembered nightly lake show from the Expo92.
Its setting is the spectacular Plaza de España in Maria Luisa park in the Andalucian capital, with the artists performing on a stage in front of the illuminated building, at the central halfway point. The audience can choose from either standing or tiered seating (a few concerts are all seated). There is a light show before each concert, projected onto the façade of the building itself, and you can have a drink and a tapas at stalls set out along Avenida Isabel la Catolica, opposite the Plaza. The food available in "The Village" is the usual festival fare of fried fish, burgers, brioches and sandwiches; beer and a gin bar. Note that you can't take your own food or drinks into the concert area. The Village area stays open late after each concert, with DJs till 3am.
