Interestelar Festival in La Cartuja, May 15–16

Interestelar is basically Seville’s big mid-May city festival — two days of Spanish indie-pop, rock, and electronic acts inside the CAAC grounds on La Cartuja. This year’s edition lands on Friday, May 15, and Saturday, May 16, and the practical news right now is simple: the festival has published the full lineup by day, the set times, and a pretty clear warning that tickets are almost gone. The official site shows Friday at 97% sold, Saturday at 95%, and the general pass at 98%, while VIP and Super VIP are already marked sold out. ### Where is it actually happening? The festival takes place at the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo — the CAAC — on the Isla de la Cartuja in Seville. That matters because Interestelar is not a camping festival out in the middle of nowhere. It’s an urban festival in a historic-art venue, which makes it easier for visitors staying in the city and gives the whole thing a more compact, all-day hangout feel.

The official page lists those as the main names for the day, with DJs and later-night sets including Isaac Corrales, Oski, La Rubia Pincha, Random Vestax, Undo Factor City, and Mara Ghodoy. If you’re choosing just one day, Friday leans hard into Spanish indie and pop-rock names with a lot of singalong potential. (interestelarsevilla.com) ### And what about Saturday? Saturday, May 16, shifts into a slightly more party-forward mix. Crystal Fighters top the bill, and the rest of the day includes Ojete Calor, Sexy Zebras, Nil Moliner, Carlos Sadness, Carlos Ares, Veintiuno, Íñigo Quintero, and Mafalda Cardenal, plus Zaza, Jamonja, Bea Miau, Blondex, Kristina, and Marian. In plain terms — if Friday feels more indie-guitar and songwriter-heavy, Saturday looks more like the bigger communal blowout. (interestelarsevilla.com) ### What are the big set times? The late-night anchors are the easiest way to read the schedule. On Friday, Dorian play 22:55 to 00:15 and Siloé close the main stage from 01:35 to 03:00, while Xoel López and Pignoise both run 21:35 to 22:50 on other stages. On Saturday, Ojete Calor take 22:55 to 00:15 and Crystal Fighters close from 01:35 to 03:00, with Carlos Ares and Veintiuno both set for 21:35 to 22:50. So yes — there are real clashes, and you’ll want a plan before you walk in. (interestelarsevilla.com) ### How expensive is it now? The current listed prices are straightforward. General passes are 80 euros. Friday day tickets start at 60 euros, with another Friday tier shown at 65 euros and only one left in that slot when checked. Saturday day tickets are 50 euros. VIP is 150 euros and Super VIP is 200 euros on the ticketing page, but the official festival site marks both premium passes as sold out. (indiescretos.com) ### Is this a last-minute sellout situation? Pretty close. The official site’s sell-through markers are the clearest signal — 97% sold for Friday, 95% for Saturday, and 98% for the two-day general pass. That doesn’t always mean every final ticket disappears immediately, but it does mean the cheap, flexible options are basically at the end of the run. ### Why does this edition matter more? (interestelarsevilla.com) Because it’s the 10th edition. Interestelar started in 2016 and has grown into one of Seville’s fixed spring music weekends, with the CAAC setting doing a lot of the work — part city break, part festival, part long night out. This year feels less like an experiment and more like a fully settled local institution. ### Bottom line? If you’re going, the useful update is not “the festival exists.” It’s that the schedule is out, the weekend is May 15–16, and the remaining tickets look thin. At this point, the smart move is to decide by day, accept that you’ll miss some clashes, and lock in fast if the lineup fits you. (interestelarsevilla.com) (indiescretos.com)
