Question 1

What time do concerts actually start in Barcelona?

Accepted Answer

Ignore the 'doors open' time. The support act usually starts 30-45 minutes later, and the main artist rarely hits the stage before an hour and a half after doors.

Question 2

Which are the best venues for alternative music?

Accepted Answer

Beyond the massive Razzmatazz and Apolo, the true underground scene pulses in small-capacity venues like Heliogàbal (Gràcia), Sala Vol (Poblenou), or Meteoro (Sants).

Question 3

Where should I go for good jazz or flamenco?

Accepted Answer

Plaça Reial hides the legendary Jamboree, while Milano Jazz Club offers cocktails and swing in Eixample. For flamenco, Palau de la Música programs spectacular cycles.

Question 4

Is it easy to buy tickets at the door?

Accepted Answer

Almost impossible for medium and large venues; 'Sold Out' is the norm in modern Barcelona. Always buy online in advance, especially for international touring bands.
