Resurrection Fest is a rock music festival that takes place in Viveiro, region of Lugo, Spain. This festival has been held annually since 2006 during July or early August and features mainly heavy metal, hardcore punk and punk rock bands. Since its emergence it has become one of the most important music festivals in Spain due to its genre specialization. In 2013 edition set its record of 33,000 attendees,[1] with a measured socio-economic impact of 3.3 million euros in the region.[2] In 2015, these numbers increased to more than 54,500 people and a 6.15-million euros impact.[3]
Along its history, more than 200 bands have performed, including world-wide important groups such as Iron Maiden, Korn, Motörhead, Kiss, Scorpions, Rammstein, Slipknot, In Flames, Black Label Society, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Sabaton, NOFX, Lamb of God, Refused, Testament, Five Finger Death Punch, Trivium, Down, Crowbar, Sick of It All, Bad Religion, Bullet for My Valentine, Heaven Shall Burn, Pennywise, Hatebreed, At the Gates, Dead Kennedys, Exodus, and Black Flag.[4]
The festival was first held in August 2006 under the name of Viveiro Summer Fest, and admission was free thanks to local government. Two days before the event, its headliner, Sick of It All, had to cancel its show because of a sudden illness of one of their members. Besides the lack of support after this accident, it was postponed until November of the same year being called Resurrection Fest and it enjoyed great success.[5]
Nowadays it is a four-day festival (3-days since 2010, 4-days since 2015), the number of performances has reached 78 in 2015,[6] and every year the attendance record is broken with the current one of 54,500 people in 2015, coming mostly from all over Spain. Other countries like Portugal or France are increasingly represented.[7]
