| Written by Paul Mutter |
 Coming up on Saturday 7th
July in the Market area in calle Justo Antonio Quesada on the La Marina
urbanisation, San Fulgencio, is ‘Rock Arena’ a rock and metal festival
featuring six bands in a mega festival of sound. The councillor for
youth, new technology, employment and tourism Borja Alonso explained
that the Town Hall in conjunction with the Youth and Tourism department
had come up with the idea of a Rock Festival to help spread the name of
San Fulgencio far and wide and put it on the cultural map for music with
a festival that might well become a regular annual fixture and help
local businesses with extra custom as well. As an added attraction in
these crisis hit days entrance to the festival is completely FREE.
The programme promises an evening of wall to wall rock and heavy
metal sounds with some top notch nationally accredited bands featuring
Koma, Saratoga, Centinela, Sphinx, Döria and local group Magnum 44.
Doors will open at 6.00 pm and the councillor told us the music is
likely to start an hour or so later. There will be lots going on with
bars provided by local businesses that are helping sponsor the event.
There are some great looking festival t-shirts in black with silver
graphics and similarly decorated guitar plectra. TNT radio will also
have a marquee at the event, presenting the festival and involved in CD
signings and much more.Ahead of the festival itself but as a way of introducing it, last weekend in the village of San Fulgencio Rock band Alhándal from Malaga presented an acoustic set in the Municipal Theatre Cardenal Belluga. There was also a prize draw for a guitar donated by the bar ‘Dos Más’ together with t-shirts, CD’s and other prizes Alongside the music there were large screens set up inside and outside the theatre together with an outside bar so that everyone could enjoy the Euro 2012 quarter final between Spain and France.
