What is the dynamics of the festival? How long do the concerts last?

Tremor is a festival that invites the spectator to make choices and define an artistic itinerary between the different artistic proposals and discover new artists, the island and its different hosting communities. It is impossible to see everything because a lot of concerts happen simultaneously. We discourage you to try seeing everything, so that you have a richer experience. Each venue has limited capacity and the simultaneity of concerts offers the audience always something to see. Concerts last around 45 minutes, this duration might vary depending on the artist and repertory.

Do I need to rent a car?

It’s up to you. The  car is the easiest means of transportation on the island. You will be freer to move around and participate in the festival’s activities happening around the island in different locations.
