Bem-vindo ao Carnacelona!

For the first time the famous Brazilian Carnival will be celebrated in Europe and which other city should host it than Barcelona?!

If you want to dance to Brazilian rhythms and Techno, House and Electro beats you should come to Barcelona on the 3rd and 4th of July and visit the Carnacelona. You can expect more than 20 hours of music and a crowd typical for Barcelona.

So why don't you come for your holidays to Barcelona and enjoy some Barcelonan hospitality mixed with Brazilian rhythms?
Just book an apartment in Barcelona or stay in a nice Barcelona beach hotel and you are ready to party to the vivid rhythms of Brazil.

The Catalonian capital was chosen because "Barcelona is the Salvador de Bahía of Europe in relation to its hospitality, beaches and great atmosphere" says André Pedroso, one of the directors of the festival. The festival takes place the first time and is supposed to be an equivalent to the Carnival of Salvador de Bahía which was declared as "the biggest party on the planet" by the Guinness Book of Records. These are big footsteps to follow for Barcelona but with this line up the festival, for sure, will be a success.

The biggest stars in Brazilian and electronic music will come together at the Forum to put the heat on the party-crowd. On Friday 3rd of July Groove Armada will stand behind the turntables and they will be joined by Guru Josh Project with their massive hit Infinity 2008. Of course there will be as well a lot of Brazilian artists performing, like for example Brazilian group Banda Eva and Ketubara from Salvador. Spanish DJ Wally Lopez will be on stage for an epic set on Saturday, 4th of July. Other artists performing on Saturday are DJ Funk D'Void, Miss Cady, harmony group Asa de Águia and the Brazilian group Negro Joya.

See you at Carnacelona!!!

Dates: 3rd & 4th of July
Price:€ 27 per day or € 70 for VIP + 2 drinks
