Featured concerts in May
Elias Rønnenfelt (7 May)
The singer of the Danish punk band Iceage makes his solo debut with his album Heavy Glory, which he will present in Barcelona. Influenced by classics like Lou Reed, his music goes from decadent to grandiloquent without a hitch.
Location: Sala VOL
💸 Tickets: from 18€.
Rafa Sánchez – La Unión (May 8)
The artist, one of the most recognizable voices of the 80s and 90s passes through Barcelona on his solo tour … but with the music as always: the singer will deploy his greatest hits with La Union, from Lobo Hombre en París to Maracaibo or Más y Más, that is, pop anthems and good vibes guaranteed.
Location: Sala Apolo
💸 Tickets: from 30€.
El Drogas (May 9)
The former leader of mythical bands like Barricada has been since 2012 with his solo project, where he began re-interpreting songs from his bands but gradually added new songs from his solo stage, much more relaxed but without losing the rebellious spirit that has always characterized him. In Poble Espanyol we will be able to enjoy all his stages.
Location: Poble Espanyol
💸 Tickets: from 30€.
Barón Rojo (May 10)
Although in 2020 they announced their farewell tour, it seems that Baron Rojo prove that “old rockers never die” and 5 years later they bring a new show, in which they review 45 years of career. What can we expect? Great hits and the powerful sound of the best Spanish heavy-rock band.
Location: Razzmatazz 1
💸 Tickets: from 25€.
Amenra (May 11)
Fans of post-metal have an appointment at Apolo with Amenra. With a sound that can remind us of Cult of Luna or Sleep, the Belgians are like a gateway (very tasteful, that’s for sure) to the Apocalypse.
Location: Sala Apolo
💸 Tickets: from 25,20€.
A Contra Blues
The band led by the powerful voice of Jonathan Herrero is an explosion that, although it has the blues as a base, sounds like rock, r & b and all the great styles of American music. On this occasion they come to Barcelona to play their latest work, Spitfire, in what may be the only concert this year in the capital.
Location: Sala Wolf
💸 Tickets: 16,50€.
Scowl (May 12)
This punk band is coming to Barcelona with their debut album Are We All Angels. The North Americans will deploy powerful but melodic hardcore, perfect for fans of bands like Touché Amoré.
Location: La 2 de Apolo
💸 Tickets: from 19,80€.
Álex Ubago (May 15)
The quintessential creator of millennial romantic hymns did not stay in its splendid beginnings, but has continued working these two and a half decades, releasing eight albums. And now he presents his latest, Galerna, in which, although the singer-songwriter does not lose his essence, he experiments with new sounds thanks to the collaboration with various producers.
Location: Sala Bikini
💸 Tickets: 27,10€.
Oscar Jerome (May 17)
Oscar Jerome proves that jazz is more than music for four connoisseurs. He fuses it with other styles, such as funk, afrobeat, soul and tropicalia, to offer us an explosive and very danceable cocktail.
Location: Upload Room
💸 Tickets: from 19,80€.
Malmö 040 (May 24)
Although they have barely been on stage for 5 years, the Barcelona band Malmö 040 demonstrate in every live show their professionalism and skills, with a very prolific repertoire (only in 2023 they released three albums). After touring every festival there is, they are back home.
Location: Razzmatazz 1
💸 Tickets:
Babymetal (May 26th)
One of the most original bands of the moment passes through Spain on their world tour. The Japanese girls, queens in such a masculine world, mix metal music with j-pop, perfect choreographies and an incredible kawaii aesthetic, a style that has allowed them to collaborate with the greats of the genre and make a legion of fans worldwide.
Location: Poble Espanyol
💸 Tickets: from 55€.
Ismael Serrano (May 29)
The singer-songwriter, normally of an intimate style, comes to the great temple of Barcelona music in symphonic format, accompanied by an orchestra with which he will sing all his greatest hits. A unique experience for fans of the Madrilenian.
Location: Palau de la Música
💸 Tickets: from 32€.
Two Shell (May 31)
This London duo, as strange as fascinating, comes to our lands to present their work, where they move like fish in water in dance and electronica.
Location: El Pumarejo (l’Hopsitalet de Llobregat)
💸 Tickets: from €22,50.

For the following months the thing is very varied: from the girlband Blackpink, which will stop at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on August 9, to Post Malone (September 12).
In the alternative field, for autumn we find plenty of proposals: Don West (September 3), Floodlights (September 19) Amelie Lens ( September 21), Ziggy Alberts (September 13), Nova Twins (October 3), Ganavya (October 13),The Beths (October 15), BUNT (October 29).
And the year will end with two of the biggest pop divas of recent years. On one hand, the always great Lady Gaga, who brings her The Mayhem Ball three times to Palau Sant Jordi on October 28, 29 and 31. On the other hand, Katy Perry, who will give a concert in Barcelona on November 9, also at the Palau Sant Jordi.
In the less mainstream field at the end of the year we can highlight the performances of Yung Lean (November 17) and Ocie Elliot (December 4).
In addition, we already know some of the first artists who will give their all in Barcelona in 2026. The most talked-about case is Bad Bunny. The Puerto Rican artist will make a single concert in our city, on May 22, 2026 at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. In addition, if you run out of tickets or want to make a getaway, Madrid will host the singer on May 30 and 31 of the same year.
