Balearic Islands’ Top Concerts
Port Adriano Mallorca Festival is a cultural project which began in 2013 and has over the years become the best musical event in the Balearic Islands. The festival has presented 30 concerts, hosted more than 60,000 music lovers, and delivered an international programme including all styles of contemporary music. What’s more, this is all enjoyed in the spectacular setting of the Philippe Starck designed Port Adriano.
The music of the festival is music of today, yesterday, and always, universal music with the common denominator of the excellence and quality of the artists. This has been corroborated over the last few years by the performances of Gloria Gaynor, Earth Wind & Fire, Madeleine Peyroux, Buena Vista Social Club, Roger Hodgson, Hombres G, Electric Light Orchestra, El Cigala and Omara Portuondo, José Carreras, The Jacksons, UB40, Raphael, Ara Malikian, Tom Jones, and George Benson, among others.
The quality of the concerts, the sound and lighting, together with the beauty of the surroundings and the proximity of the audience to the stage, make the concerts in Port Adriano unforgettable. Without doubt the music festival contributes to positioning the Mallorca brand in the main international markets as a quality cultural destination.
