Barcelona’s youngest music festival, Mostra BCN, is back with a fresh edition this month. Dreamt up during the pandemic as a way to reunite people through music, movement and shared experiences, it quickly carved out a space for itself as a must-attend event for lovers of the underground and the unexpected.

Mostra is a small-format festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music that emerges as a counterpoint to the macro-festivals and the overcrowded, commercial and rather impersonal offerings of other large events held in Barcelona. It was created as a way to celebrate life again after a long two years in which culture came to a standstill, and it still carries the flare of excitement and celebration today.

This year’s lineup includes: Peter Van Hoesen, Reeko, Slowfoam, Zara, Maribel Tafur, Lotus Eater (Rrose & Lucy), Bastien, and Carmen Villain.
