The Barcelona festival season starts in June. When it ends, the Gracia and Sants festivals come to cheer up the end of the summer. And when they are over comes La Mercè to sweeten a little back to school. And although it seems that after it there is a wasteland, it has been ten years since Cara B, the great autumn festival, returns to give us a joy that allows us to continue enjoying the music.
The festival, which over the years has evolved to build an offer based on a day dedicated to the pop-rock, folk and indie scene, and another dedicated to new trends such as trap and urban (or, in other words, one day for millennials, another for Gen Z). We tell you everything you need to know so you don’t miss anything.
When and where is Festival B?
Festival-B will be held at the Parc del Fòrum on September 27 and 28.
The line-up
In addition to the usual stages, this year the festival premieres the new RA-B stage, which aims to be the epicenter of the most cutting-edge club music, which will bring together emerging electronic trends both local and national. For example, with the Sevillian Dalila, Barcelona’s LANAV will take us down paths of abstract house, the Italian Marcelo Pantani, Kadaira or Mark Luva.
