Muse Wow the Crowd at Spain’s Mallorca Live Festival: Concert Review
Charlie Amter While Ibiza has long been a music mecca for international tourists keen on catching big-name DJs at a club, Spain’s other, larger, Balearic island, Mallorca, is hoping to become a live music magnet for fans of rock music via its growing summer festival, Mallorca Live, and another new event called Andalucía Big Festival, which debuts this fall, boasting names such as Rage Against the Machine and Glass Animals on the bill.Held this past weekend in the island’s British-holidaymaker-friendly resort town Magaluf, Mallorca Live stepped up its game in 2022, with three days of rock, Latin, rap, pop and electronic acts ranging from Spanish rapper/singer C. Tangana on Friday night to Sunday night headliners Muse, who closed out the event in a rousing set that wowed the largely local audience, though this year saw the most amount of international guests traveling to Mallorca Live than in years past, organizers say.
