Summer in Barcelona is a great time to experience culture. Throughout the city, in free areas and under the sun, various events are held. Before the trip, it is best to find out in advance what will be interesting in the city.
On this page we have collected information about some of the music and arts festivals that will take place in the summer of 2023 – the Sonar Music Festival, the Sala Montjuïc Film Festival, the Grec Theater and Music Festival and the Voll Damm Jazz Festival. Below are links to information on purchasing tickets.
Sonar Music Festival: 15, 16, 17 June 2023
This festival is dedicated to electronic music and is considered one of the most significant and influential in the world. During the day, the festival takes place in the center of Barcelona, and at night it moves to a large convention center outside the city. Details on how to buy tickets, ticket prices, route map, list of participants and get useful tips can be found in the guide to the Sonar Music Festival 2023.
Sala Montjuïc Film Festival: exact dates not yet announced
Every year, a large screen is installed in the moat of Montjuïc Castle. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings, movies are shown in this picturesque location overlooking the city. Fortunately, films are shown in their original language with subtitles. Most of the films are in English. The festival program changes every year, and before the start there is always a lot of guesswork about what will be shown. Last time they showed “No Country for Old Men” (“No Country for Old Men”), “Wall.E” (“Wall-E”) and “Volver” (“Return” by Pedro Almodovar).
Detailed information about the festival program, tickets, prices and directions can be found on the official Sala Montjuï website.
It is worth buying tickets in advance or arriving early for the screening because they sell out quickly.
Grec Theater, Music and Dance Festival 2023: Event date not yet confirmed
The popular arts festival is held in various venues in Barcelona, from the Grec Theater in Montjuïc to the Picasso Museum.
Information on the festival programme, ticket purchases, venues and prices can be found on the Grec website. Unfortunately the website is only available in Catalan. If you can’t figure it out there, then call the Barcelona tourist information office, where they will help you with this question.
Voll Damm Jazz Festival: Event date not yet confirmed
Jazz is popular in Barcelona. The culmination of this popularity is the festival of jazz and creative music. The festival is held in various venues in Barcelona, and both local and foreign musicians participate in it. You cannot buy tickets for the entire festival, you will have to buy tickets for individual concerts. Details about the festival can be found in the booklets available from the Barcelona tourist information office. Alternatively, you can send a letter to the organizers of the festival: [email protected]

Local flamenco dancers wholly devote themselves to their favorite activity, an hour and a half of the show flies by at lightning speed, the audience applauds and does not believe that such passion and return are possible in the modern world. Ole, ole, ole! – Shout the amazed tourists from China and take hundreds of photos. Hot Andalusians proudly look into the lens and pound on the wooden stage so furiously that it seems that the floor is about to break under their feet.
