BAM (Barcelona Acció Musical) is the emerging music festival that takes over Barcelona each September during the La Mercè celebrations. Its programme, consistently bold and dynamic, invites audiences to discover new sounds and artists from around the world. From pop and dance to rock and electronic, genres intersect naturally across stages set up throughout the city. Plaça Reial, Moll de la Fusta and Plaça dels Àngels host concerts that engage and surprise. More than just a music programme, BAM is the city’s alternative pulse, setting Barcelona in discovery mode.

This is good to know

Don’t stick only to what you know: the real discoveries at BAM are the bands you hear for the first time – the ones you won’t be able to stop listening to afterwards. Dare to explore the unexpected.
Check the line-up in advance and plan your route: the stages are scattered across the city, and a little preparation allows you to experience it all… without missing a beat.
