Without any shadow of a doubt, music is one of the greatest pleasures in life, and it´s inspired great creations of mankind. These are the reasons that bring us to incorporate them to our pleasurable activities, and leisure is one of them, so we´re going to tell you about the places in Barcelona that have good live indie music so that you take them into account for your next trip.
Among the new trends of young music in Barcelona we come across this soft and warm genre derived from contemporary rock and pop, indie, or independent rock, and Barcelona has become one of the cities where we find the most of it, both in festivals as in live music venues.
Electric Bar is one of the essential places for indie rock lovers. It´s located in the district of Gràcia and it has a concert venue, exhibition room, bar and a continued programme all year long that includes jazz and blues, but always prioritizing the indie sounds from Spain and abroad.
Another of the places where you can enjoy good indie music is Falcone, an very exclusive restaurant, bar and club that every week has the best in urban sounds. The address is C/ Laforja 8, and it´s a good place to start the evening with dinner and a cocktail.
Razzmatazz is one of the best known places of Barcelona´s night scene. With various rooms, it´s located in the old industrial area of Poble Nou, on Almogàvers 122 and Pamplona 88. It´s concert programme is the most abundant in Barcelona and, among its priorities, there´s giving support to the diffusion of new sounds to unite them with the classics. In that, indie has priority and that´s why its rooms are the stage for great performers, such as Noel Gallagher from Oasis.
Also in Poble Nou we can find Niu:espai artístic, a place for those who enjoy more experimental and versatile places. In its programme there are concerts, DJ and VJ sessions and different activities related with new technologies. It has a permanent concert programme where indie has a starring role. Niu:espai artístic is on Almogàvers 208.
Another of the places that dedicates its programme to live music and indie sounds is Sala BeCool. It´s located in the centre of Barcelona and has dedicated Thursdays to fill the void with ´Noise Club´ and live sounds with rock and indie rock concerts.
Sidecar, also located in the centre of Barcelona, is one of the venues with the most history in Barcelona. Currently going through a renovation in sounds, it has added indie as one of its permanent sounds and you can find concerts and great performers of this genre in its programme.
Without doubt, music can be one of the best prospects to relax and, if you rent apartments in Barcelona be sure that you won´t have a lack of live music places to go to.
