Dreambeach Villaricos is an electronic music festival that is held annually since 2012 on Palomares beach, within the Spanish municipality of Cuevas del Almanzora (Almería). The festival gets its name from its old location, in the town of Villaricos. Dreambeach is the heir of the famous Creamfields Andalucía, which stopped being celebrated in 2012. In the sale of the 5th edition they were able to surpass the 12,000 tickets sold within a few hours without having confirmed any artist.

In just five editions, Dreambeach Villaricos has become one of the essential festivals of electronic music. Dreamers from all over Spain travel hundreds of kilometers every year to enjoy the best of the genre in Levante Almeriense. Here, you will see the 5 craziest things that happen in the Dreambeach Villaricos.

1. A different dawn. The poster on Saturday, entitled “Dance till dawn” makes the intentions clear: you will dance until dawn. And is that one of the biggest moments of the festival is watching the twilight in front of the sea while you continue dancing the great songs of the live show. The play of lights that makes the festival different merges with the first clearings of the sky. A moment of communion in which many end up greeting the new day with a dip.

2. Sleeping on the beach and enjoy the concerts. What is more exciting in summer than sleeping by the sea? The camping area El Pinar, just next to the Playa de Palomares, is so close to the site that it is perfect for walking. Showers, parking, toilets, hospitality, instructions, mobile recharge, cleaning and access control, surveillance and 24-hour healthcare, plus a great novelty. An Olympic pool of 20 × 50 meters is waiting for you, with a relaxation area, a chiringuito and a deejay party.

3. Climb on the giant ferris wheel. If you are one of those who enjoy unloading adrenaline, try the giant ferris wheel of the festival. Seeing the entire enclosure and the coast from a bird’s eye view is a privilege that you can enjoy with your friends. The bravest of the group, of course.

4. Thematic parties. If you were not there and they told you, do not despair. The thematic parties of La Resistencia and ElRow will be the perfect complement to live a festival of madness. In the previous edition, the Sambadrome of Rio de Janeiro made giant animals take over the festival complex with an unprecedented set of performances and music.

5. Rush with the cartela. Five editions and increasing. Top international artists such as the Dutchman DJ Tiësto or the Parisian David Guetta, number one of the world tracks, join a poster that has the merit of collecting Pendulum live. The dream of many Dreamers will be fulfilled with the return of the Australian-British band of drum & bass and electronic rock exclusively for Dreambeach Villaricos.
