Sa Rocketa Festival will celebrate its 24th edition next Saturday, October 3rd, with a day that will bring together more than twenty artists and collectives at Factoria de So, in the Son Llaüt industrial estate in Santa Maria del Camí. The festival, with free admission, will begin at 5 PM and will combine live music with family-friendly proposals, electronic music, sound system culture, correfoc, percussion, a street market, and food stalls.

The gradual disappearance of Mallorca's music scene—made even more evident by the closure of many of the venues that comprised it just a decade ago, but which has many other factors and consequences—is a reality that musicians and audiences seemed to have grown accustomed to living with. However, in recent years, a number of associations and organizations have emerged seeking to revitalize it, such as Isla Sonora (Porreres), Neura (Manacor), and Desánimo de Lucro (Vilafranca), among others, as well as Crui (Palma) and the Mocuco Association (Colonia de San Pedro). After four months of meetings and discussions, they have all come together with a common goal: to provide the Pla de Mallorca with a community space for musical creation, an initiative known as the Polígono Project.
