Cruïlla Hivern 2026: the soundtrack to winter in Barcelona
When temperatures drop, Barcelona does not slow down. On the contrary: the city activates its cultural agenda with events that make winter one of the best times to enjoy live music. A clear example is the Cruïlla Hivern 2026, the concert series that transforms the first months of the year into a veritable musical tour of the city.
What is Cruïlla Winter?
Cruïlla Winter is the winter edition of the Cruïlla Festival., designed to bring the essence of the festival —musical diversity, artistic quality and connection with the city— to iconic venues in Barcelona. Instead of concentrating on a single venue, the cycle extends across different spaces, bringing music to different neighbourhoods and audiences.
The 2026 edition will take place between 18 January and the end of March, with concerts spread over several weeks.
A varied programme with something for everyone
One of the great attractions of Cruïlla Hivern is its eclectic programme, which combines established artists with emerging talent, and styles ranging from pop and rock to folk, electronic and international music.
Throughout the season, Barcelona hosts concerts by national and international artists in a more intimate setting than the big summer festivals, ideal for enjoying live music in a relaxed atmosphere with excellent acoustics.
Concerts in the city’s most iconic venues
Cruïlla Hivern transforms Barcelona into a musical map, utilising some of its most iconic cultural venues:
- Sala Apolo
- Razzmatazz
- Sant Jordi Club
- La Paloma
- Paral·lel 62
- Palau de la Música Catalana
