History

The festival was first held in August 2006 under the name of Viveiro Summer Fest and it was for free thanks to local government. Two days before the event, its headliner Sick of It All had to cancel its show because of a sudden illness of one of their members. Besides the lack of support after this accident, it was postponed until November of the same year being called Resurrection Fest and it enjoyed great success.[5]

Nowadays it is a four-day festival (3-days since 2010, 4-days since 2015), the number of performances has reached 78 in 2015,[6] and every year the attendance record is broken with the current one of 54.500 people in 2015, coming mostly from all over Spain. Other countries like Portugal or France are increasingly represented.[7]
