Getting down to the music

Are you a fan of open-air festivals and live music? Barcelona and its surrounding area have one of Spain's foremost musical offerings in terms of quality, quantity and diversity of styles... from one of Europe's biggest electronic music festivals to small, intimate concerts where you can connect with the musicians. Music grows when you share it. Following the concerts and festivals is a lovely way of getting to know the region. As you go from concert to concert, you'll fall in love with the Palau de la Música and the Liceu, enjoy pairings of the best in world jazz with our wines, make musical discoveries in Vic, and enjoy the latest indie music in Vilanova. It should come as no surprise that music lovers visit Barcelona every year, drawn to its cultural and musical offerings. Are you ready to get down to the music?
