Figueres will host 25 concerts from Wednesday 27 to Saturday 30 August for the 23rd Acústica festival, with performances spread across three nearby stages in the city centre. The line-up includes Sopa de Cabra, La Fúmiga, La Ludwig Band, Pastora, 31 FAM, Alosa and Fades, according to the festival organisers and Figueres City Council.
The festival is one of Figueres' biggest annual events and matters for residents, commuters and local businesses across the city. The previous edition drew more than 100,000 people, and the council says it will activate a reinforced city plan with nearly 350 personnel for safety, mobility and public services during this year's event.
The 23rd edition was presented on Wednesday. Organisers say the programme brings together established groups, intergenerational acts and emerging artists. The opening event will take place at Teatre Jardí in Figueres with Llach Gener 76, a Barnasants production that revisits Lluís Llach's 1976 concert at Barcelona's Palau d'Esports. The announced reinterpretation includes Gemma Humet, Joan Reig and Borja Penalba.
The official programme lists 25 concerts over the four-day festival in central Figueres. Readers can check the festival website and the Figueres City Council agenda for daily schedule updates. For background on our sourcing, see Source Transparency.
Because the concerts are staged in a compact area, visitors can move between performances on foot, but the layout also concentrates crowds in the city centre. That means busier public spaces, controlled access in some areas and higher demand at restaurants, bars and shops during the festival.
Before going, it is worth confirming concert times on the official daily schedule, allowing extra time if you need to cross central Figueres in the evening, and following notices from Figueres City Council on access, security and public-space changes.
