The tenth edition of the Mil-lenni Festival is a commitment to return to its roots and a remembrance of past editions. A festival that will commence on December 16th and close its long series of performances with Pasión Vega in a show especially conceived for the Gran Teatre del Liceu on April 27th, 2009.
The Palau de la Música, L’Auditori, L’Auditori del Forum and the Gran Teatre del Liceu will be the stages for this edition.
The X Mil-lenni Festival is committed with its roots, as is demonstrated by the prominence of Catalan performers such as: Raimon, La Locomotora Negra – fusing together with the choir Coral Saint Jordi interpreting texts from Salvador Espriu – or Antonia Font youth group. Paco Ibañez and the Catalans Facto Delafé y las flores azules will also be at the festival among other performers offering their talented artistic support to the following shows: Roger Mas, Xavier Baró, Feliu Ventura, Mishima or the children’s choir Cor Infantil Sant Cugat.

Especially important on the bill boards is the performance of Josep Carreras & Sara Baras which will be their first presentation together in Barcelona. A unique presentation which will occur after their performance in the Royal Albert Hall of London programmed for next December 11th.
The X Festival will be a parade of names that together with Tracy Chapman, José González, OneRepublic, Ayo y Pitingo, among many others, will make this festival a good option for the nights of the next months.
