FAQs
Where can I stay in Gijón and how can I move between the different festival venues?
L.E.V. Festival does not have a single venue, but is held in different parts of the city of Gijón. Most people choose to stay in the city centre, as it offers plenty of variety, as well as being the location for some of the festival’s activities, but there are also options near La Laboral (where the programme of concerts and AV performances takes place) such as Camping Deva or rural houses.
The different locations of the festival are perfectly connected with several bus lines and there will be a special bus service back to the centre of Gijón at the end of the night programme at La Laboral on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 May, when standard bus lines are no longer operative. You can check the map and all the details in the section How to get to the festival.
What does the festival 2-day ticket include?
The Friday+Saturday 2-day ticket includes access to all the activities, both day and night, that will take place on Friday May 3 and Saturday May 4 as part of the L.E.V. Festival program.
The performance The Third Reich by Romeo Castellucci, which will take place on Wednesday May 1 and Thursday May 2 in the stage box of Teatro de la Laboral, as well as the activities on Sunday May 5 at the Atlantic Botanical Garden, are not included in the 2-day ticket and require a separate one.
