With more than 160 concerts scheduled, Anella Olímpica consolidates its reputation as a leading venue for live music with a plural, diverse offering for all audiences
In the coming months, the city will host concerts from top artists like Bad Bunny, Eric Clapton, The Weeknd, Aitana and Oques Grasses, among others
Once again, the calendar at the Anella Olímpica – a space managed by BSM – is packed this spring-summer season. With more than 160 concerts planned throughout the year, the calendar at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, Palau Sant Jordi and Sant Jordi Club is once again positioning Barcelona as a leading international city for live music.
This year, 2026, is especially filled with large-format events and renowned artists who have made Barcelona a key stop on their major music tours. The calendar features exclusive concerts within Spain, longer stints with several consecutive nights at the same venue and especially significant events in some performers’ careers.
The programme is a plural, diverse range of events for all audiences that boosts Anella Olímpica’s role as a leading cultural venue. On top of that, with this activity level, 2026 is slated to be a record year in terms of both the number of events and the prestige of the artists scheduled to perform here.
Residencies, Spanish exclusives and long-awaited concerts
This year, Palau Sant Jordi is the venue for longer stints at Anella Olímpica, with popular artists who have made more tickets available by putting on more than one concert. Things get started with Rosalía, who will hold four concerts on 13, 15, 17 and 18 April in one of the most talked-about concert series of 2026. Aitana will also perform there on 4, 5, 7 and 8 September, while La Oreja de Van Gogh will hold four concerts on 6, 7, 26 and 27 November.
In this busy schedule, Palau Sant Jordi will also host exclusive concerts in Spain on great artists’ international tours. Examples include Eric Clapton on 10 May; TWICE on 12 May; Synthony on 21 October; and Niall Horan, who will take to the stage on 25 October.
Then there is Sant Jordi Club, with concerts from Pau Vallvé, scheduled for 25 April; Rodrigo Cuevas on 9 May; Placebo on 3 October; and La Fúmiga on 16 and 17 October. During the same period, Palau Sant Jordi will be the venue for concerts by Morat, who will perform on 16 and 17 October; Melendi on 1 and 2 November; Pitbull on 4 November; and Bryan Adams on 14 November.
This busy schedule becomes even more extraordinary at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, which will host some of the most eagerly awaited concerts of the season. With a musical career spanning more than fifteen years, Oques Grasses are now saying goodbye to their fans with four concerts, on 5, 7, 9 and 10 October. The finishing touch on the programme is provided by other highly anticipated events, like the return of El Último de la Fila with concerts on 3 and 7 May, and the first stop on the European leg of Bad Bunny’s tour, scheduled for 22 and 23 May, which confirm 2026 as an exceptional year that puts Barcelona and Anella Olímpica at the heart of the international musical calendar.
The Estadi Olímpic schedule also features performances by Don Omar on 23 July and The Weeknd, with a concert on 1 September, which highlight the venue’s status as a key venue for large-format concerts.
Beyond live music, in 2026, Anella Olímpica will strengthen its role as a multi-purpose, strategic venue for hosting major international events. In sport, one of the most outstanding events of the next year will be the Tour de France Grand Départ (4 and 5 July), which will end at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. Also on the calendar is the third edition of Premier Padel, which will turn Palau Sant Jordi into the world capital of this sport from 10 to 13 December.
All in all, the 2026 programme solidifies Anella Olímpica’s position as one of the main catalysts of cultural activity and events in the city, with a range of activities that combines quality artists and international appeal and boosts its role as a key venue in Barcelona’s events calendar.
