Featured Candlelight Concerts in Barcelona
Coldplay & Imagine Dragons
The best songs from two of the greatest pop-rock bands in history, in a single concert. From “Thunder” and “Believer” to “Fix You” and “The Scientist,” the Petit Palau transforms into a “Paradise” for one night, where you can listen to some of your favorite songs accompanied by the intimate sound of strings. Experience a magical evening where “Sky Full Of Stars” finds its light in thousands of candles.
Tribute to Joan Manuel Serrat
“Hoy puede ser un gran día,” “Mediterráneo,” and “Cantares” are songs everyone recognizes instantly. Serrat remains a key figure for how he captures everyday life, for his lyrics that say so much without overcomplicating things, and for everything he has meant to several generations. In an intimate setting, his songs are enjoyed in a different way, up close. It’s about rediscovering them and understanding why they never truly fade away.
The Best of Bridgerton
“Bad Guy,” “Give Me Everything,” and “Cheap Thrills” sound different when dressed in the elegance of Bridgerton. By candlelight, these songs reveal a more delicate and romantic side, almost as if they had always belonged in a ballroom. Enjoy this tribute to the series’ soundtrack, its cultural impact, and that very contemporary way of telling a love story.
