World Youth Day pilgrims have been inundating Europe this week as many are taking the opportunity not just to travel to Madrid but also to make pilgrimages to other holy sites in Europe such as Lourdes, Rome, Fatima, etc.
The Knights of Columbus and the Sisters of Life are hosting an English-speaking pilgrim site at the Palacio de Deportes in Madrid called the Love and Life Center.  This place is gonna be hoppin' with fabulous speakers, musicians, etc.
I'll highlight just a couple of the musicians and speakers briefly:
Mike Mangione and the Union - ya'll remember Mike and the band when they were here last April - you can be reminded of their awesomeness here:
Offering by LLRLRR

L'Angelus - family Cajun and Irish influenced band originally from Louisiana; taking their name from the beautiful Marian prayer traditionally prayed at 6am, Noon and 6pm, so-called because of the opening line: “the angel of the Lord declared unto Mary...”.  Here is a video of their performance at last January's FOCUS Conference held in Nashville:


Chris Stefanick: Steubenville graduate, Director of Youth Ministry for the Archdiocese of Denver and talented speaker. Here's some video clips from a talk he did also at a FOCUS Conference:
