The thing that's puzzling me is "The Bizarre World Of Frank Zappa (Live Hologram)"

a) Zappa died 25 years ago (which freaked me a little, looking up his dates - 1993? Blimey!)

b) There's no such thing as a "Live Hologram" - it's probably going to be a Pepper's Ghost illusion.

Edit to add: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper%27s_ghost#Concerts -- I was right

[Being645]

Aren't they doing a whole ABBA live hologram tour next year as well ...

I guess we gotta get used to it ... for a starter ...

[Planet Dave]

Lleida looks like a pretty amazing place too, with or without the super-groovy festival going on nearby. All very annoyingly tempting but out of reach.

The Sisters Live Hologram Experience...coming with dreadful inevitability to a festival near you, in a few years or so.

[Scardwel]

Will Billy Corgan be doing F&L&A songs with them? <BOOM, BOOM!>

[Chaotican]

I’m doing this one.

(Maybe with, maybe without a man who says this was the best festival he’s ever attended, back in the 90s.)

[sentenza]

Will be any day-tickets for sale?

[Pista]

Will be any day-tickets for sale?

Not sure. Do you know which day The Sisters are playing?

[dtsom]

Will be any day-tickets for sale?

Yes but they trye to sell full days tickets first

[Chaotican]

Update: I will not be attending. (I’ve finally committed to severing ties with the metalhead Spanish physicist after a year of drama. I will not be going to Spain, listening to metal, nor obeying the laws of physics in protest. &#128513;)

Change of locación.

Looks like the whole festival was canceled, so don’t read too much into it.

(Though I’m now dating a Hungarian physicist, so if the picture on festival is canceled...)

[Being645]

So that's official now:
