Dust off your zoot suit and swing it, shake it, move it, then make it to the first annual Ibiza Swing Fun Fest this April 27 – 29.
This four-day festival offers fun for the whole family, with a range of Spanish live swing and jazz music acts.
Live bands range from the home-grown sounds of Musicares Swing Band and Pin Up Sound to the Mallorcan Marching Band and Madrid-based The Swing Godfathers. The Swing Air Force will soar into action and Monkey Doo and The Sunnysiders are sure to be crowd pleasers.
Playing alongside the wealth of live music, specialist swing DJ's like Swing Makers, Melodias Pizarras and “El Showman de Swing” Don Hueso will get cool cats digging the beats as curious newcomers come to jump and jive alongside the fans.
You can also learn to swing dance as the Fun Fest offers Lindy Hop lessons for all levels. These require booking in advance and have a nominal fee. Poodle skirts and bobby socks optional!
This first-ever swing festival ever to arrive on the island is completely free to get in and aims to get all ages involved and interested in swing music, dancing and culture.
Street performers, food stalls, a special kids' zone, a vintage market and even a funny dress competition will accompany the music - kids of all ages can be bop along to all events.
The Fun Fest takes place in San Antonio Bay over multiple venues so swing on over to its website for all the details.
