BAM festival 2026
By Charlotte Stace

BAM is the part of La Mercè that offers us a free programme of music across Barcelona, showcasing both emerging and established artists from over 20 countries. Barcelona Acció Musical brings us new voices, sounds and artists who blur genres, languages and borders.
This year’s line-up includes: Brazilian singer-activist Bia Ferreira; Algerian desert-rockers Imarhan; Portuguese indie-pop artist Maria Reis; Barcelona ska crew Les Testarudes; Valencian electronic-folk musician Sandra Monfort; Occitan psychedelic rock from Brama, Palestinian-rooted R&B from TĀRA; the punk energy of Sandré; Colombian trap and reggaeton from La Valentina; plus psych, jazz, experimental electronics and plenty more.
This is one of the biggest musical celebrations in the Catalan calendar, and your annual chance to discover someone new before everyone else does. Check out the full programme online now.
