The third night of the Cruïlla 2026 Festival at the Parc del Fòrum delivered a powerful mix of classic rock, electronic sounds, and jazz, with standout performances from The Black Crowes and the surprise act Arde Bogotá.

The heat did not deter the audience at the Cruïlla 2026 Festival during its third night at the Parc del Fòrum. The event pulsed with the rock sounds of American band The Black Crowes and the unexpected appearance of Murcia's own Arde Bogotá, who delivered the most powerful music of the evening. The lineup also included local artists such as Alizzz and Dan Peralbo, alongside the eclectic music of David Byrne and the British band Ezra Collective.
The Black Crowes offered a performance true to their essence, presenting classic rock and R&B on the main stage. Their repertoire of greatest hits, accompanied by instrumental improvisations, was met with great enthusiasm from the attendees.
The night's biggest surprise was the performance by Arde Bogotá, announced just hours before under the pseudonym Bigger Splash. The band from Murcia presented a theatrical show, offering a taste of their third album in their return to the festival.
Catalan music was prominently featured with performances by Dan Peralbo i El Comboi and Alizz. Musician and producer Alizz closed his 'Conducción temeraria' tour in his first appearance at the Cruïlla festival. Meanwhile, Dan Peralbo combatted the heat by distributing water guns among the audience.
The evening kicked off with Ezra Collective, who presented a fusion of jazz, afrobeat, funk, hip-hop, and grime. Later, David Byrne delivered a performance with a minimalist stage setup, focusing on choreography and the playing of a wide array of instruments.
