A balance between major international icons, contemporary pop, and a strong presence of local artists.
Cabró Rock
A great weekend of rock from the Catalan Countries is well worth a little getaway to Vic. It’s all about seeing our Hall of Fame, featuring Oques Grasses, La Gosa Sorda, Joan Dausà, and other solo artists and bands that are killing it on our circuit. A stellar lineup that has nothing to envy those packed with international artists.
The mother of all electronic music festivals is true to its annual date, with this year’s lineup featuring names like Kelis, Sleipta, and Amelie Lens. There will also be plenty of audiovisual shows and SONAR+D 2026. More information and artists (over 60 names are expected) coming soon.
Urban Latin rhythms will take over Catalonia for two days. While the venue is still to be announced, we already know some of the stars who will have us dancing for two days: Anuel AA, Ñengo Flow, and Luar LA L. New artists will be announced soon.
Just a few kilometers from Barcelona, in Vilanova, Vida Festival returns this summer with an eclectic lineup featuring artists such as Ralphie Choo, Guitarricadelafuente, Fatboy Slim, Amai, Yerai Cortés, and many more. Three days of music for everyone’s taste in an atmosphere far from the hustle and bustle.

Get ready for four days where musicians from several generations come together to deliver the best electric sound. Legendary bands like the Sex Pistols, Twisted Sister, Helloween, The Offspring, Bad Religion… and many more will take the stage.
Throughout the year, there are several SOUNDIT events—a paradise for electronic music lovers. But in the summer, the promoter goes all out to host its own two-day festival, featuring big-name acts that will keep you dancing nonstop.
Myke Towers, Lola Indigo, and Omar Courtz are just a few of the highly acclaimed artists (with more to be announced) who will perform at this two-day festival, dedicated to pop and urban beats, so you won’t stop dancing as summer approaches.
Another Barcelona classic: two days to enjoy the best electronic music… but during the day! Because when the music is good, there are no excuses not to enjoy it.
K-Pop is an increasingly global phenomenon; films like K-Pop Warriors have been a huge hit, and the most commercial groups have long been part of the global commercial circuit. So it’s no surprise that Barcelona has been chosen as the venue for Music Bank, a one-day festival that will host seven of the genre’s best-known bands, both within and beyond its borders. A unique opportunity to get hooked on this joyful, danceable style, full of stage virtuosity.
If you’re looking for an alternative to typical urban festivals (which we love, but sometimes you just want to breathe some fresher air), the answer is Rizomes. This festival, held in a poplar grove in La Cellera de Ter (in the La Selva region), offers three days where art, music, and ephemeral architecture converge to create a unique collective experience.
