If you're someone who plans their summer around concerts, mark this date: the Microclima Festival in Camprodon celebrates its fifth edition from July 31st to August 3rd, 2026, and it's kicking things off in style with Sidonie headlining the first day. For those living in Barcelona and looking for a weekend musical getaway to the Girona Pyrenees, this concert is the perfect excuse to combine nature, mountains, and one of the most veteran bands in Spanish indie music. We'll tell you who they are, what to expect from the live show, and all the practical information you need to make sure you don't miss it.
The Microclima Festival will welcome one of the most beloved bands on the Spanish music scene.
Sidonie's appearance at the Microclima Festival is one of the highlights of the lineup. Their return also coincides with a particularly significant moment for the band, who are embarking on a new tour marked by the release of an album that represents a major shift in their career.
Sidonie's live performances have always been one of their greatest strengths. Their ability to connect with the audience, the energy of their concerts, and a repertoire packed with well-known songs make each show a particularly celebrated experience for their fans.
Catalan Grafiti's presentation will allow you to discover how the band's new songs sound on stage and to witness the musical evolution of a group that has managed to stay true to its essence while exploring new creative paths.
Who are Sidonie: almost three decades of indie rock
Sidonie is an indie rock and psychedelic rock band formed in Barcelona in 1997 by Marc Ros (vocals and guitar), Jesús Senra (bass and backing vocals), and Axel Pi (drums). The trio rose to prominence after winning a talent competition in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, which led to them signing with the independent label Bip Bip Records and releasing their first demos.
Their first two albums, "Sidonie" (2001) and "Shell Kids" (2003), were sung in English, with a clear influence from The Beatles, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd. The turning point came in 2005 with "Fascinado," the album with which they decided to switch to Spanish and which opened the doors to major festivals. Since then, they have released a string of albums such as "Costa Azul" (2007), "El incendio" (2009)—with its eponymous anthem—, "El fluido García" (2011), "Sierra y Canadá" (2014), and "El peor grupo del mundo" (2016), considered by many to be their most accomplished work.
A new milestone: the first album in Catalan
After more than 25 years in the business, Sidonie surprises in 2026 with "Catalan Grafiti ," their twelfth studio album and the first sung entirely in Catalan. The album is preceded by the singles "Et puc odiar molt més" and "Sé," and its live presentation kicks off at the beginning of 2026, with Camprodon as one of the tour's highlights.
What can we expect at the concert?
The evening's setlist will combine new tracks from "Catalan Grafiti" with classics from their extensive repertoire, in a live show that the band has made one of the most acclaimed in the Spanish indie scene: energetic, charismatic, and featuring that blend of psychedelia and pop-rock that has defined them since their beginnings. Sidonie won't be performing alone: the evening of Friday, July 31st, also includes Mishima , Nyandú , and Al·lèrgiques al Pol·len , creating a diverse lineup of Catalan and Spanish rock and pop.
The setting is also not a minor detail: the concert will take place outdoors, in a mountain environment that avoids the usual overcrowding of large urban festivals.
A curious fact about Sidonie
Few know that, before signing with a major record label, one of Sidonie's early songs was used as the jingle for a government advertising campaign, which generated some controversy: the band issued a statement explaining that they did not agree with the message of the ad and that no one had consulted them about its use. A curious episode in the early days of a group that, over the years, would become an essential reference point for Spanish indie music.
Why go to this concert
Seeing Sidonie in Camprodon is not just any concert: it's a chance to hear a new repertoire sung in Catalan live and in an intimate setting by a band that has spent almost thirty years reinventing itself without losing its essence. Added to this is the incomparable setting of the Parc de la Mare de la Font , surrounded by mountains, a far cry from the overcrowded atmosphere of other summer festivals.
If you also have a La Tornada pass, you can enjoy a 40% discount on this ticket, making it an even more attractive plan if you intend to attend several days of the festival.
