Planeta Sound

Planeta Sound is one of the most anticipated music festivals in the northwest of Spain, combining the best indie, pop, and rock music, and has established itself as an important tourist attraction for the city of Ponferrada and the entire Bierzo region. Held every summer, this event perfectly combines music, culture, tourism, and gastronomy, attracting thousands of visitors from across Spain and abroad.

The festival takes place in a unique setting, with the Bierzo mountains as a backdrop and the welcoming atmosphere of Ponferrada, a city with valuable historical heritage.

The festival also promotes sustainable tourism and the promotion of local identity.
