Hometown Hero Bad Gyal Dominates Palau Sant Jordi
Leading the charge is local superstar Alba Farelo, better known as Bad Gyal. The artist, who has risen from her hometown of Vilassar de Mar to global fame, will perform an incredible three-night run at the iconic Palau Sant Jordi on 20, 21, and 22 March. Due to overwhelming demand, the first two dates sold out almost instantly, prompting the addition of a third show; few tickets for this remain. The shows promise a masterclass in her signature blend of dancehall, reggaeton, and electronic music.
Britpop Legends and Hard Rock Heavyweights
Britpop icons Suede will play a highly anticipated show at Sala Razzmatazz on 25 March as part of the Cruïlla Hivern programme. After a decade-long resurgence, the band continues to prove its enduring appeal, blending timeless classics with powerful new material. Tickets for this performance are already sold out, proving their lasting legacy.
Meanwhile, Australian hard rock titans Airbourne bring their high-octane energy to the city after releasing their new single, “Gutsy.” Known for their charismatic and raw rock and roll performances, their show is also sold out, promising an unforgettable night. Also at Razzmatazz, the legendary Spanish folk metal band Mägo de Oz will celebrate nearly 40 years in music on 21 March, presenting their new album Malicia: La Noche De Las Brujas alongside their classic anthems. Catalan Celtic rock group Leyendärian will support them.
Celebrating Catalan and Spanish Icons
March also features the return of Brams, a foundational band in the Catalan rock scene. Known for their pro-independence and pro-Catalan language stance, their politically charged rock and ska songs have resonated for decades. They will perform at the Casino Aliança del Poblenou on 19 March.
Other veteran Spanish acts gracing Barcelona stages include the historic folk-rock band from Valladolid, Celtas Cortos, celebrating 40 years of hits like “20 de abril.” They bring their ‘Contando cuentos’ tour to Sant Jordi Club on 14 March. The undisputed kings of “tecno-rumba,” Camela, will celebrate 30 years of hits with their devoted Catalan fanbase at La Farga in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat.
From Intimate Jazz to Avant-Garde Folk
For those with a taste for jazz, acclaimed Barcelona-born trumpeter and singer Andrea Motis returns for a special performance on 1 March at Sala Paral·lel 62. She will be joined by her trio of guitarists, Jurandir de Silva and Josep Traver, and special guest cellist Jaques Morelenbaum.
The month also showcases rising international acts. On 3 March, Brazilian indie rock quartet Terno Rei will present their new album at Sala Upload. On 6 March, Madrid-based trio VVV [Trippin’you] will bring what they describe as “neo-bakala”-a dark, rave-infused electro-punk sound-to Sala Apolo.
Further highlights include a performance from Portuguese singer and multi-instrumentalist Maro on 22 March, and a show from the eight-piece avant-folk orchestra Caroline, touring their critically acclaimed 2025 album, Caroline 2.
Sold-Out Shows and New Beginnings
A number of high-profile concerts have already sold out, highlighting the city’s passion for live music. Leire Martínez, former vocalist of La Oreja de Van Gogh, presents her debut solo album at Sala Razzmatazz on 15 March to a sold-out crowd.
Similarly, Italian classical composer Ludovico Einaudi‘s solo piano performance at the Gran Teatre del Liceu sold out weeks in advance. However, as noted by Barcelona Secreta, fans can still experience his music through the popular Candlelight tribute concerts, which offer an affordable and atmospheric alternative.
