Festival•B will return to Barcelona on Thursday 17, Friday 18 and Saturday 19 September 2026, with concerts at Parc del Fòrum and a line-up centred on alternative, urban and emerging music. For local residents and visitors, that means three days of live shows in the Besòs i el Maresme seafront area, with tickets already on sale through the festival's official website.
According to the official Parc del Fòrum calendar, the festival will return "stronger than ever" and is billed as a platform for emerging music scenes. Festival organisers say the 2026 edition will bring together more than 30 artists across the three days.
"Festival•B has completed the lineup for its twelfth edition with the latest confirmations from Guitarricadelafuente, Natalia Lacunza and Raly," the organisers said in information published on the festival's official channels.
Line-up includes established and emerging acts
The names announced for the 2026 edition include Guitarricadelafuente, Mushka, Maria Arnal, Rusowsky and Yung Beef. The festival's official information also adds Natalia Lacunza and Raly to a programme that had already been announced in earlier stages.
Festival•B describes itself on its official site as an event that "takes the pulse of the B-side of the music scene". Another source text describing the event calls it Barcelona's showcase for alternative sounds that shape future musical trends, framing the festival as a meeting point for newer acts as well as better-known names on the Spanish state scene.
- Dates: 17, 18 and 19 September 2026
- Venue: Parc del Fòrum, Barcelona
- Format: more than 30 artists over three days
- Tickets: three-day passes and day tickets available on the official Festival•B website
Why the festival matters locally
The event matters beyond its line-up because it brings a large music audience to the Sant Martí waterfront over three consecutive days in September, a period when bars, restaurants and other businesses around Parc del Fòrum usually see increased footfall from concertgoers. The source material does not give an economic forecast or attendance figure, so any wider financial impact has not been quantified by organisers in the published information.
For residents nearby, the practical consequence is straightforward: the Parc del Fòrum area will host a major live music event across three dates at the end of the summer season. For music fans in Barcelona, the immediate next step is also clear, as organisers say both full passes and day tickets are already available.
"The event will take place on September 17, 18 and 19 at the Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona and will bring together more than thirty artists in a proposal focused on alternative, urban and emerging music on the state scene," the organisers said.
Festival•B is described by organisers as its twelfth edition. The official booking and festival information is available through fstvlb.com, while venue details are listed on the Parc del Fòrum website.
