Organizers of the Sansan Festival have cancelled Thursday's opening day in Benicàssim (Castellón) due to wind gusts preventing any activity, following a meeting with local authorities. The move prioritizes safety for attendees, artists, and staff. Friday and Saturday sessions are expected to proceed amid favorable weather forecasts.
Organizers of the Sansan Festival, which kicks off Spain's festival season during Easter in its 11th edition, made the call at 3 p.m. after an extraordinary security coordination meeting. Local Protección Civil authorities, security forces, and firefighters recommended cancellation due to current weather conditions.
The venue sustained severe damage from a windstorm that hit Castellón province last Sunday. Teams repaired it over three days with round-the-clock efforts, readying it for the planned opening.
Thursday's lineup included Of Monsters and Men, Love of Lesbian, Siloé, León Benavente, Califato 3/4, and Rufus T. Firefly. Organizers stated automatic refunds for Thursday tickets, with details soon for proportional refunds on passes.
Friday and Saturday feature Rigoberta Bandini, Guitarricadelafuente, Xoel López, La Casa Azul, Chiquita Movida, La M.O.D.A., Ultraligera, Barry B, Maria Arnal, Allizz, Ángel Stanich, and Sanguijuelas del Guadiana. "We maintain our commitment to deliver the best possible experience," they said.
