Azkena Rock Festival completes the lineup for its 23rd edition with the legendary John Fogerty

John Fogerty is a true American treasure. As the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival, he forged a unique and distinctive sound where blues, country, and rock & roll merged seamlessly, accompanied by his singularly evocative lyrics. A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Fogerty has sold over 100 million records throughout his illustrious career. This year, he settles an outstanding debt with the Azkena Rock Festival audience by confirming his presence, after the pandemic forced the cancellation of his highly anticipated 2020 performance, which was set to follow the unforgettable show he delivered three years earlier, performing Creedence classics.

The legendary John Fogerty joins the Azkena Rock Festival lineup in an exclusive performance, alongside Manic Street Preachers, who will play their only show in Spain, and The Flaming Lips, who will perform their iconic album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots in full. The bill also features the iconic Lucinda Williams, a special 30th-anniversary set from The Hellacopters, and the band from the film La estrella azul, led by its star Pepe Llorente, who was awarded the Goya for Best New Actor this past weekend. With many more artists already confirmed, today, four new names are added to the lineup. The Azkena Rock Festival will celebrate its 23rd edition on 19th, 20th, and 21st June in Mendizabala, Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Another major figure in American music, Margo Price, joins the lineup, performing in Spain for the first time and in an exclusive appearance. Without losing sight of the legacy of Loretta Lynn and Emmylou Harris, the singer-songwriter has established herself as a generational talent and a cult artist, unafraid to tackle issues such as the gender pay gap and the challenging conditions faced by American farmers.

All the way from Australia, C.O.F.F.I.N bring their high-energy blend of hard rock and punk, promising a performance that will leave a lasting mark on Azkena Rock Festival. Meanwhile, The Lemon Twigs are a band whose reputation has grown through word of mouth—those who have seen them live can’t stop recommending them. They arrive at ARF as one of the must-see acts of the year. Finally, rounding out today’s new confirmations is Sarria, one of the most exciting young talents in Spanish pop-rock. At just 20 years old, the Málaga-born musician had already toured the world with Los Labios, the Seville-based band where he first showcased his remarkable skill.
