Lapsus Festival marks its fifth edition by strengthening its commitment to avant-garde electronic music and renewing its pledge as a unique selector that provides alternative music trends to other festivals taking place in the city. Lapsus focuses on comfort and quality and seeks to avoid the trappings of large crowd formats.

inception-. Meanwhile, the night-time schedule will also be extended, taking place for the first time at LAUT, the incredible space located in the centre of Barcelona, equipped with the latest generation sound system.
On Friday night Lapsus at LAUT will present a showcase from Portuguese label Príncipe Discos, with Dj Lilocox and Dj NinOo closing the April 6 program.
