We recommend that you head to the Estadi Olímpic early, using sustainable means of transport
It is the first time that a band has ever played to a full Estadi Olímpic on four nights
On 24, 25, 27 and 28 May, the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys is hosting four concerts by the British group Coldplay. The rock band led by Chris Martin is playing four sold-out concerts in the city, as part of their ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour, making them the first group to ever fill the Estadi Olímpic on four nights.
To coincide with the four concerts, the Anella Olímpica and the City Council are reactivating the informative campaign “The Estadi Olímpic is near you. Choose the most sustainable way of getting there”, with the aim of favouring sustainable mobility to Montjuïc mountain.
People going to the Estadi Olímpic are recommended to use public transport or go on foot, and to go early. The estadiolimpic.barcelona website offers a series of practical information on how to get to Montjuïc mountain by public transport, along with advice and recommendations concerning accessibility and safety, among other resources of interest.
Get to the Estadi Olímpic well in advance
The doors will open at 5 pm. It is important to arrive to Montjuïc early and in a staggered fashion. You should consult any new information on the concert starting times on the Estadi Olímpic website or the social networks for the Stadium, Palau Sant Jordi and the concert promoter.
Prioritising the use of public transport and travelling on foot
You should use public transport (Bus, Metro, Funicular or FGC) to the stations and stops closest to Montjuïc Park (Espanya, Poble Sec, Paral·lel or Foc) and then, if possible, use the signposted pedestrian routes.
You can find information on the various public transport lines available (Bus, Metro, Funicular, FGC) on the Estadi Olímpic, Palau Sant Jordi, TMB and FGC websites, as well as the SMOU application.
Extra services on the 150 Bus line and shuttle bus service
On concert days, TMB will be providing extra services on line 150 (Pl. Espanya – Montjuïc Castle) during regular service hours. There will also be a shuttle bus service on leaving the concert, in order to facilitate the return journey down the mountain.
Escalators will be in operation for longer
To facilitate travel by foot, the escalators will continue operating until 2 am.
Parking restrictions for private vehicles
To coincide with the concerts, there will be a special operation in place, coordinated by the Guàrdia Urbana police force and Civic Officers, limiting street parking on the signposted sections of Avinguda de l’Estadi, Passeig Olímpic, Passeig del Migdia and the streets of Jocs del 92 and Doctor Font i Quer, along with various parking areas located around the Anella Olímpica. People are advised to prioritise travel by public transport to ensure fluid traffic flows and to reduce polluting emissions.
Citizen information on the Anella websites
The estadiolimpic.barcelona and palausantjordi.barcelona websites offer information about the various public transport options for reaching the Anella Olímpica facilities (Estadi Olímpic, Palau Sant Jordi and Sant Jordi Club). The websites also contain other information of interest, such as a general map of services, accessibility measures and assistance for people with reduced mobility and other specific needs resulting from recognised disabilities. Users will also find an FAQ section with information on aspects such as purchasing tickets and ticket validity, services available at the facilities, safety and security measures and protocols and access policies for minors, etc.
A record year for Anella Olímpica concerts
After the two Bruce Springsteen concerts (28 and 30 April), the four Coldplay concerts are the second milestone in this historic season for the Estadi Olímpic‘s facet as a music venue. Beyoncé (8 June), Harry Styles (12 July) and The Weeknd (20 July) are the next artists on the list of 9 scheduled concerts, a figure never before achieved.
