More than 50 bands will offer concerts from their homes starting this Monday and through YouTube within the framework of the Quarantine Fest, a festival that seeks to " make the state of responsible confinement imposed by the Spanish authorities" due to the coronavirus more bearable .

This was announced this March 16 by its promoters in a statement, in which they recalled that the coronavirus has led to the cancellation of hundreds of concerts and cultural events in Spain and abroad and have stated that the festival seeks to try to make "music do not stop and reach the maximum number of homes ".

Four concerts will be offered daily at 7:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. This is the planned schedule:

"Cuarentena Fest was born as a recreational platform, of positive creation, but it also aims to be a space for visibility in the face of the economic disaster that, for a precarious sector that is always on the tightrope, it implies," they assured.

The festival, which in recent days has been developed as a pilot project on Instagram, can be enjoyed until Friday, March 27 through the channels of each band on YouTube and jointly on Tumblr.

Various Spanish and Argentine record labels and artists participate in the initiative, among which Carlota, Papá Topo, El Petit de Cal Eril, Cuchillas, Lashormigas, Pixel de Stael, Valdivia and The Crab Apples stand out.
