AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (panting and wheezing for air) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND WE. ARE. BACK, YOU BEUATIFUL MONKEYS!

We're beyond thrilled to announce the second installation of Meticulously Orchestrated Neurokinetic Kontrolled Environment for the Yearly Boosting of Universal Sociability, Instilling Neighborly Euphoria, and Spreading Synergy. When we learned that the first letters spell out M-O-N-K-E-Y B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S, we couldn't believe our luck. The Bureau mathematicians calculated the odds at 1 in 100 quintillion. We're not sure what that means, but it sounds pretty special.

1st edition was a big success, thanks to all of you. For the 2nd edition, we are doing 3 nights and 4 days. Yup, you heard that right. And we're going have 56 more participants than last year. We once again asked our mathematicians to crunch the numbers, and they've confirmed an 78.90% projected increase in joy and connection.

After extensive field research, our Bureau agronomists have discovered a rare deposit of Goodtimesium-rich soil in our new location. We're turning the entire festival grounds into an experimental fruit farm where we'll be growing and harvesting the most potent Goodtimesium-infused produce ever cultivated! A crucial step in stopping the spread of Separatonin.

• Sound waves that makes you dance way past your bedtime
• (but you still feel decently fresh the next day, somehow)
• Quantum space-time technology that transforms small talks into medium talks and maybe even into some big talks
• A haven where daily concerns can be forgotten, just for a little while
• Lots of workshops to practice more of what you love or try something new
• Really tasty meals cooked by wonderful people with amor

We decided to test our luck again, and carefully extracted the initial letter of every word in this section. It spelt:

"AWABYBMWBTTATSIOMONKEFTYBOUSINEASSWWLTTNSMBWCBOLTBMCTOAIQWNSWTMBISLALTYWDNADYYHTRAWUOCTPMTLYWOAAOMTCTNATCAPIIJACFLYAEFROBAHDARDOGSIONLWTTEFGIAEFFWWBGAHTMPGPECAAYCESWTMYDWPYBYSFDFTNDSQSTTTSTIMTAMEISBTSWDCCBFJFALWLOWTPMOWYLOTSNRTMCBWPWA".

We're not sure what that means, but it sounds pretty special.

As a non-profit cultural association, your ticket is actually a membership contribution that goes directly to supporting our events. The tickets include a spot to pitch a tent or park your van, workshops, activities, 3 nights of music, wonderful company, 6 rounds of delicious food, and an open community bar (okay you've gotta be bullshitting, right? that's all included!? yes, see below for more info). Here are the prices:

The idea is that you wouldn't have to spend a single cent onsite since everything is included. (Only exceptions are special side activities like massage)

Ticket link below.

We're a still bit early for the lineup! But if you want to get an idea, you can check out last year's lineup for reference. Many of the same artists will be back, plus more given we have an extra day to fill! It's also rumored that this year we will feature a wider range of musical styles... More info coming soon.

Same here, the Bureau's Strategic Commission for Expanding Minds and Trying New Things While Having Fun Together is actively developing the workshop program as we speak. See last year for inspiration.

The festival is around an hour's drive from Barcelona and there will be plenty of on-site parking.

By public transport, you can take the R6 from Plaça Espanya to Igualada, then take the taxi from there (around 20 euros).

We are considering organizing a shuttle, but don't count on this yet—we'll keep you posted.

Freshly made food will be provided six times during the festival by the Bureau's Department of Feeding Hungry Souls, made up of great friends of ours who also happen to be professional and hobbyist chefs. However you are still advised to bring some supplies with you, like light snacks, fruits and things to keep you going for breakfast, and while the kitchen is closed.

We're asking each of you to contribute your favorite bottle of alcohol, soft drink, or a creative combo of both to our communal bar. Don't worry, we'll also stock up on water, soft drinks, popular spirits, and some beers. Once we're all set up, drinks will be on the house — no checks, no charges, no need to carry coins! But that doesn't mean we endorse getting absolutely bananas-drunk. Please enjoy responsibly :)

The much-acclaimed Tea House will be back this year! Tea House 2.0 will host workshops during the day and turn into a cozy lounge by the night. If the dance floor is too much for you, you can always come here to relax and make new friends. We'll also have plenty of drinking water available at the bar and the Tea House.

Please bring a tent! We have a couple areas where you can camp. The campsites aren't right next to the dancefloors, so you should get good sleep at night! Which also means: make noise at the party areas and respect the sleepers! Vans and vehicle camping are also welcomed — there is a limited capacity for camping vehicles so please email us and secure a space.

There's gonna be one evening during the festival where we kindly oblige you to dress up in a certain theme. We'll make sure it'll be something you can choose to go all out with or lightly participate in (though the former is recommended). We won't demand anything bat-shit crazy or require you to buy anything new. This will be announced a few months prior to the event!

There's a swimming pool at the venue, so pack accordingly! It might get a bit chilly during the night, but the days will be warm enough for swimming during a sunny Catalan September.
