The Expo comes alive again: more than 5,000 university students, nine hours of music and partying by the Water Tower

Just one week after welcoming Amaia, Guitarricadelafuente, Loquillo and more than 45,000 people, the Expo area is preparing to come alive again. This time, at a different pace and, it must be said, a somewhat younger one than Vive Latino. Thousands of university students will fill Parque del Agua, next to the Water Tower, this Friday for the first edition of Único Fest, a major back-to-school party featuring music, an open bar, a brass band and food over nine hours.

The event will take place on September 11, from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., and is exclusively for people over 18. Organizers expect more than 5,000 students to gather in the same setting that just a few days ago hosted one of the major music festivals on Zaragoza’s calendar.

NINE HOURS OF MUSIC AND LOCAL DJS

Music will be the centerpiece of an event featuring a strong lineup of DJs from Zaragoza. Aaron MVP, Feli, Gómez, Guillems, Hugo Valero, Jaycob, LilPac, Santi Buey and Sergio Originals will take turns in the DJ booth throughout the afternoon and into the early hours. They will be joined by headliners Barce and Funzo.

ÚNICO FEST SCHEDULE

Music will begin in the early afternoon, with Funzo and Barce taking two of the central slots on the program. Before and after their sets, different DJs will keep the music playing virtually nonstop until closing time.

Gómez will open at 5:00 p.m., followed by LilPac at 5:30 p.m., Jaycob at 6:00 p.m., Guillems at 6:30 p.m., H. Valero at 7:00 p.m. and Santi Buey at 8:00 p.m. Funzo will take the stage at 9:00 p.m., while Barce will perform from 10:00 p.m.

The final stretch will begin with Feli at 11:00 p.m., followed by Sergio Originals at midnight, with Aaron MVP performing from 1:00 a.m. until closing. In addition, the brass band will make its way through the Chill Zone at various points during the afternoon, approximately around 6:00, 7:00 and 8:00 p.m.

THREE HOURS OF OPEN BAR

One of the event’s biggest attractions is included in the ticket price. From 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., there will be three hours of an open bar serving beer, tinto de verano, calimocho, soft drinks and water. Admission also includes a reusable cup exclusive to this first edition.

The party will go beyond music. The venue will also feature a brass band, a chill-out area and a food truck zone, with the aim of turning the area around the Water Tower into a major meeting place throughout the event.

LAST TICKETS AVAILABLE

University students’ interest was already clear when ticket sales began. Super Early Bird, Early Bird, first-tier and second-tier tickets have sold out. There are currently 42 tickets left, priced at 22 euros.

After a weekend dominated by guitars, indie, pop and Latin rock, the Expo will now change both its audience and its sound with barely any time to rest. Parque del Agua will become university territory as it hosts the first edition of a festival that promises to extend the atmosphere of Zaragoza’s major music events for a few more days.
