El Poble Espanyol hosts the first edition of the Barts Festival. Its name comes from the acronym of Barcelona Arts on Stage, the venue on Paral·lel that for years was one of the main live music venues (today we know it as Paral·lel 62). Now, that spirit of proximity and connection with the audience evolves into a new open-air format, in a music series that will be held on summer nights in Barcelona.
This edition's program presents a wide variety of styles from great international and national icons. On the lineup, we find the sold out of Joan Dausà, cult proposals such as the BEAT project (with Steve Vai and Tony Levin) or the Gipsy Kings with Los Manolos, the pop of Charlie Puth, the rock of M-Clan, Shinova, Biffy Clyro or the legendary ZZ Top, the return of classics like Lax'n'Busto and Morrissey, the indie pop of Belle & Sebastian, the urban touch of María Becerra, the salsa of Rubén Blades and the tropical style of Silvestre Dangond.
