July 1 Elche Meed Festival of music, culture and art

Elche's Meed Festival returns next month, and this year, the cultural event of music, art, design, crafts, fashion and food promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Since its creation in 2010, Meed has become "one of the most outstanding cultural events" in the province of Alicante, offering an experience "that celebrates culture in all its facets", according to organisers.

Meed Festival 8.0 will be held on Saturday July 1, and L'Escorxador in Elche will once again be the epicentre of the "diverse festivities" from 5pm to 3am.

The event attracts thousands of people every year, and the eighth edition promises to exceed all expectations, bringing together more than 45 artists and DJs, and a multitude of activities.

Meed Música will be the backbone of the festival, with a diverse line-up that this year features Valencian-born, Mexico City-based Kostrok, and Denite from Elche, who will make his way from Berlin for the festival.

Colombia-based artist Julian Rhodes will perform along with Horn-E, currently based in London. They will be joined by artists from Murcia and Alicante such as Nita Funk, Rebecca Ardura and Manchon, and local talent including Funknown and Adri Rizzo, will put on "vibrant and eclectic performances".

As has been the case every year, art will also take centre stage at Meed Festival, with renowned artists and creators such as Sergi Vic, Bea Verdú, Zerezo, Gemm Genera, Israel Nicolás and Liber Esquer showcasing their talent in the Meed Arte section.

In a first for Meed, there will be a fashion show by Studio Y.08 on the Arte stage, which will be introduced by drag queens Ángel Fansy and Demi Parte. "This will be an experience in which art, fashion and diversity will merge," promises organisers.

There will also be a craft and design market and Meeds Kids' area - a "safe and fun space for children to explore their creativity and make friends - will offer a wide variety of activities, creative workshops and interactive games".

The kids' zone will be supervised by two specialised professional groups.

And, of course, let's not forget the Gastronomy Area that will host several food trucks serving up an array of national and international dishes.
