The annual LEM Festival of experimental music and performance taking place in Gràcia is one of Barcelona’s leading alternative events. This year should have been particularly special with their 25^th edition, but then coronavirus struck. The show must go on, however, and they had to do something, so LEM have prepared a smaller-scale program of ten shows in seven sessions under the banner OFF LEM 2020.

Taking place throughout October, the lineup still looks pretty cool. Kicking things off this Friday, October 9^th are Pau Riba with PLAN, featuring the irreverent musician and poet performing with a three-piece band, at the CC La Sedeta in Camp d’en Grassot close to Gràcia. Opening the night will be a collaboration between Anna Pantinat and Víctor Bonetarbolí.

Highlights from the rest of the lineup of OFF LEM 2020 include Clara Lai and Joan Moll (Experimentem amb l’ART on October 17^th), Laura Llaneli supported by Tiger Menja Zebra (Convent de Sant Agustí on October 23^rd) and Eli Gras with support from Blanca Llum and Los Sara Fontán (CC La Sedeta on October 30^th).

All events will have limited attendance and online booking of advance tickets is mandatory.
