History

Some 51,000 people attended the first edition of Bilbao Live Festival in 2006, an event that reunited during three days more than 40 national and international bands of rock and carps of electronic music. Bilbao had thus burst in with force into the circuit of great musical festivals of the summer time. Ricardo Barkala, councilman of Use and Economic Promotion of the Bilbao, stressed the achievement. A personage Santiago revealed that (in effect), "All the artists have gone away contented of the festival and with the public of Bilbao, something that is very important to create this excellent impression in spite of going the first year completely without past history."

Thus, a repeat albeit bigger and better for 2007 was assured, with very top name artists the likes of Metallica and Iron Maiden and Red Hot Chili Peppers notwithstanding newer but still popular acts such as My Chemical Romance and heritage entries such as the reconstituted but once influential New York Dolls.
