Years active2016–present

The 2016 and 2017 festivals took place in the Caja Mágica. The organization then moved the festival to an open-air space in Valdebebas. Peak attendance happened in the 2018 edition, with 240,000 participants distributed along the three days of the festival (12–14 July), featuring a troubling first day due to agglomerations.[1][2] In the 2020 edition, the daily maximum attendance was reduced to 60,000 by the organization, and the length was expanded to four full festival days.[3]
