Yes: summer is coming to an end. But endings are also new beginnings. And, this end of summer, couldn't look better because the autumn music agenda is full of artists who will make us dance and sing at the top of our lungs. From September 1st, Barcelona will be filled with the best beats from international artists like The Weeknd (who performs on the 1st at the Olympic Stadium) or with local artists (like La Pegatina, Els Pets, Pol Batlle, etc.).

In addition, the beginning of the month also has its own name in our city: La Mercè, our main festival par excellence and which has a dizzying musical and free program. So start making room in your agenda because, even though summer has come to an end, the best plans are yet to come!
