Venues at the Rocket

Main StageThe main stage field is the heart of the festival. With the breathtaking backdrop of the mountains Sierra de Almijarra the main stage is the perfect setting to enjoy a star studded line-up.

Dance TentThe Dance Tent will host the Rocket’s favourite dance music live acts and DJ’s supported by inspirational circus and cabaret troupe and video projection artists.

Tribal FunkTribal Funk originated in Órgiva four years ago, out of the free party scene, as a collaboration between video jockey Miss Plunkett and sound system DJ Alex B Dragon. Tribal Funk creates inspiring outdoor spaces for local events and celebrates the wheel of the year. Our purpose is to bring people together, Spanish and foreign, in a good energy environment, with amazing audio and visual entertainment. The discotecas have been our winter place to bring tribal and funky house DJs from around Granada, out of the cold.

Cantina Galactica bandThe main bar at the festival in 2008 is the Cantina Galactica, an extravagantly themed Space Port drinking den for the new settlers, aliens, robots, bounty-hunters,jedis and all the flotsam and jetsam of the galaxy that fancy a pan-galactic gargle blaster (G&T to you and me) and a knees-up.

Los hombres de gris han aterrizado en el Rocket festival para liarte y robarte todo tu tiempo. Tu tiempo es tu vida, un juego de sucesos entretejidos, de pasados confusos, presentes difusos y futuros inciertos. Pero la cashiopea conseguirá atraparte porque allí sentirás, simplemente, que el tiempo se desvanece, que el niñ@ que eres resurge para desplazar a la persona mayor que te crees que eres. Nos quedaremos con vuestro tiempo; os quedareis con todo y más.
