Firestone and the music
The Firestone Route celebrates its fifth anniversary with a history of 22 concerts in 16 cities in Portugal and Spain and almost 13,000 spectators. In the case of Portugal, Sean Riley & The Slowriders succeed Márcia and The Legendary Tigerman who have also passed through the Firestone Route stage in the cities of Lisbon and Porto.
The essence of the Firestone Route lies in getting closer to music and his passion for it, a passion that also had the brand’s founder, Harvey Samuel Firestone, who in 1928 launched the first sponsored radio program, “The Voice of Firestone“. At the time, it was an innovative musical platform and the Firestone Route philosophy follows in its footsteps.
Since 2015, Firestone has been revitalizing the brand across Europe, starting with sponsorships at major festivals in Spain, France, Ireland, the UK, Germany and Poland.
In Spain, Firestone has been supporting the Bilbao BBK Live festival for 4 years with the ‘Firestone Scene‘. In 2021, he was in the new edition of BBK Live UDA and BBK Live Udazkena, where artists such as Fuel Fandango, Rodrigo Cuevas, María Arnal i Marcel Bagés or Omago performed.
In 2020 and in the midst of the global pandemic, Firestone wanted to keep its commitment to music and emerging talent alive and launched its first podcast “Powered by music“, with seven episodes and presented by music journalist Ángel Carmona of Radio 3. The podcasts gathered testimonies from industry professionals and emerging talent on the path to success, fan relationships or creative routines, among other interesting topics. Among the participants was Delaporte or Miss Caffeina, who performed in the 2019 edition of the Firestone Route.
With all these initiatives, the American heritage company wants to bring together its philosophy of offering the young at heart the “freedom to drive”, to discover, and explore new places, experiences and emotions.
