  • Qué Es El Tanned Tin?
    ¿Qué es el Tanned Tin? El Tanned Tin es el festival de invierno por excelencia, el primero con un éxito y continuidad que dura más de una década, siendo ésta su decimotercera edición (la séptima consecutiva en Castellón tras su etapa en Santander), siempre independiente en la confección de su cartel y sin otro interés que el artístico. Plantea un espacio único (el Teatro Principal) donde se puede escuchar la música con una calidad inigualable y la comodidad propia de un recinto acogedor. Y como un punto extra, la cercanía que muestran los artistas, que se mezclan con total naturalidad con el público que acude al evento. Además, se programan matinales de lujo en (sala por confirmar). Con entrada libre para los portadores de la pulsera del festival hasta completar aforo, podremos ver actuaciones de viernes a domingo y de 12 a 15 horas. ¿Qué lo hace diferente? El Tanned Tin mantiene su filosofía de presentar un cartel lleno de futuras estrellas de la escena independiente, nombres que ahora puede que no suenen a la mayoría del público y prensa pero que en unos meses serán los grandes protagonistas de los grandes festivales. No en vano fue en el Tanned Tin donde artistas de la talla de Antony & the Johnsons, Deerhunter, Okkervil River, Final Fantasy, Deertick, Beach House, The Decemberists, Xiu Xiu, Animal Collective, CocoRosie o M.Ward dieron sus primeros conciertos en nuestro país. Buscamos dar la oportunidad al público más inquieto de conocer en su mejor momento a artistas de todo tipo (folk, electrónica, pop de vanguardia, rock arriesgado, etc.) que, además, se sienten orgullosos de formar parte del cartel debido a su reputación fuera de nuestras fronteras.
