Starting today, June 5, the FIB Heineken 2008 radio station will begin broadcasting on the Internet. Our radio station is tailor made to the Festival’s line-up, a place where you can listen to your favourite songs and discover new artists.
Our radio station will operate 24 hours a day, uninterrupted, and features some important improvements to the 2007 broadcast. Once again, Musicvictim has been charged with implementing this service.

Maraworld and the international organisation, Designers Against AIDS (DAA), joined forces in the fight against AIDS yesterday, 4th June, when they presented a range of projects which they are developing together with the aim of supporting this noble cause in La Casa Encendida in Madrid.
Major Spanish designers and artists - Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, Amaya Arzuaga, Carles Congost, Carlos Díez, Chicks On Speed, Daniel Riera, David Delfín, Krizia Robustilla for EP3, Fake, Fangoria & Nancys Rubias, La Casa Azul, La Casita de Wendy, Lenfenterrible for Neo 2, among others – contributed to this initiative with their designs. The list of names will be even longer with the addition of various artists who will perform at FIB Heineken and Saturday Night Fiber – Benicàssim Day in Madrid.
Among the many designs we received in response to the competition “Fibers against AIDS” (a T-shirt design competition organised by DAA and FIB Heineken 2008) the design “Use the Head” by Raquel Vila Díaz was the one chosen by the jury.
