Sueños de Libertad is drawing to a close — though not in silence. “It’s not a goodbye, it’s the end of a wonderful era”, says Adrián Rodríguez, founder and director of the Ibiza-based festival, which has announced that it is ending its run as an event after ten years devoted to music and cultural creation on the island.
Launched in 2015, Sueños de Libertad established itself as one of Ibiza’s most distinctive independent festivals, known for its diverse programming, ranging from indie and hip hop to Cuban music and soul. Over the past decade, the project has hosted more than one hundred concerts, featuring national and international artists such as Orishas, Leiva, Bomba Estéreo, Amaral, Love of Lesbian, SFDK and Lia Kali, among many others.
But Sueños de Libertad grew to be more than just a festival. Over time, it evolved into a broader cultural and creative brand that generated parallel initiatives expanding its scope, including SDL The Rocky Desert, SDL Live Sessions, SDL Selectors, Festival Brisa Flamenca and La Verbenita Club, along with other projects developed over the years.
“Far from disappearing, the brand is now entering a new phase of evolution and transformation under the name SDL Creative Lab — a platform from which musical and cultural projects will continue to be promoted, maintaining the creative spirit that has defined the festival since its beginnings”, the organisers state in their farewell announcement published on social media.
