Where to go in Barcelona: events, concerts and shows worth your night
Barcelona goes out late and stays out: dinner at ten, a concert at eleven, a club that fills at three. It also has two of the most beautiful music halls in Europe, one of the continent’s best-known festivals, and a summer of neighbourhood street parties. Below is where to go in Barcelona when you want a night, not a monument, with addresses, and what tends to be on when.
Concerts and live music in Barcelona: Razzmatazz, Apolo and the Palau
Razzmatazz (Carrer dels Almogàvers 122, 08018 Poblenou, salarazzmatazz.com) is five rooms in a former factory: touring bands in the main hall until around midnight, then indie, techno and pop across all five until 6 am. Sala Apolo (Carrer Nou de la Rambla 113, 08004 Poble-sec, sala-apolo.com), a 1940s dance hall, is its closest rival for both concerts and club nights. The Palau de la Música Catalana (Carrer Palau de la Música 4–6, 08003, palaumusica.cat) is the modernista concert hall with the stained-glass skylight, where classical, flamenco and jazz share the programme. Jamboree (Plaça Reial 17, 08002) has had jazz in its cellar since 1960.
Barcelona nightlife: where the clubs are
The big clubs sit along the seafront in Port Olímpic and the Vila Olímpica, and out in Poblenou, where Razzmatazz leads. Poble-sec, below Montjuïc, has the smaller bars and Apolo. Nothing starts before 1 am, and the Metro runs all night on Saturdays. In summer the action shifts to the beach clubs and to the rooftops of hotels across the Eixample.
Theatre, opera and dance in Barcelona
The Gran Teatre del Liceu (La Rambla 51–59, 08002, liceubarcelona.cat) is the opera house on the Rambla, rebuilt after a fire in 1994 and one of the largest in Europe; its season runs from September to July. The Mercat de les Flors in Poble-sec is the city’s dance house, and the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya and the Teatre Lliure stage Catalan and Spanish theatre. Flamenco is not native to Catalonia, but the tablaos near the Rambla and the summer flamenco at the Palau are the real thing.
Art galleries and museums in Barcelona
MACBA (Plaça dels Àngels 1, 08001 Raval, macba.cat), the white Richard Meier building in the Raval, is the contemporary art museum, with the skateboarders on its square as much a part of the scene as the shows. The Fundació Joan Miró on Montjuïc and the Picasso Museum in the Born hold the two big names; the CCCB next to MACBA runs the city’s most interesting exhibitions and debates. Many museums are free on the first Sunday of the month and on Sunday afternoons.
Barcelona festivals and events by season
- Late spring: Primavera Sound at the Parc del Fòrum at the start of June, the city’s biggest music festival, and Sónar, the electronic music and art festival, in mid-June.
- Summer: the Sant Joan bonfires and fireworks on the night of 23 June; the Grec festival of theatre, dance and music through July; and the Festa Major de Gràcia in mid-August, when the streets of Gràcia are decorated and every square has a stage.
- Autumn: La Mercè, the city festival around 24 September, with free concerts, human towers and the correfoc fire run; then the new Liceu and concert seasons.
- Winter: the Christmas markets by the cathedral, and the Santa Eulàlia winter festival in February.
