Why the programmes matter locally

The Mercat de Música Viva de Vic is both a public concert programme and a meeting point for music professionals, intended to support artistic projects. BAM, meanwhile, forms part of Barcelona’s annual major festival and gives emerging artists from the city a platform alongside more established performers.

Visitors planning to attend should check the relevant official festival programme for performance times, venue information and any access arrangements. Barcelona concert-goers can use the official La Mercè programme, while the other organisers publish details on their linked festival pages.
