The international festival takes advantage of every hour of sun, beach and music to make the Cala Mijas experience the eternal summer. With performances that will remain engraved in the memory of each attendee, we summarise the 10 key moments of this second day:
1. The Strokes gave their highly anticipated performance, reminiscing with songs that have marked generation after generation and continue to excite audiences as if they were new releases. The New Yorkers started off to the incredible rhythm of What Ever Happened? and revolutionised all those present, who danced and chanted tirelessly to the generational anthems of one of the most relevant bands of the 2000s.

2. The french-sounding electronics of M83 charmed the public with their personal musical journey in the early hours of the morning, between coloured lights, synth-pop and hits like their Midnight City or Outro.

4. Punk music travelled from Melbourne to Costa del Sol with the appearance of Amyl & The Sniffers. Singer Amy Taylor’s outpouring of energy and charisma marked the band’s performance, which brought the house down with songs like Hertz.
