Purple Weekend 2024: Lineup, tickets and how to get there
Purple Weekend is a music festival dedicated to the sixtie culture that takes place in León, Spain. It was created by Elena Iglesias and Alejandro Díez (artists of the band Los Flechazos) in the late 80s. It has grown over the years to become one of the main international events of the genre.
