Patti Smith (2022)

Active since the 60s, Patti Smith is one of the most important and respected names not only in the history of rock, but of pop culture in all its breadth, as her musical dimension is closely linked to her facets as a poet and activist. A benchmark for all generations after the beginning of her career in the 60s, the “godmother of punk” (and now also of Azkena Rock Festival) will arrive in Mendizabala this year to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. Chanting with her to “People Have the Power” in these times will be an exercise of freedom and necessary vindication. So, let’s start practicing.
