About Bilbao
Bilbao is the cultural powerhouse of the Basque Country, a city that reinvented itself around world-class architecture, passionate football, and a thriving live events scene. San Mames Stadium, known as The Cathedral of Football, is the iconic 53,000-seat home of Athletic Club, one of the oldest and most fiercely supported clubs in Spain, where the tradition of fielding only Basque players gives every match an intense local identity. The Bilbao BBK Live festival, held each July on Kobetamendi hill overlooking the city, has become one of southern Europe's premier multi-day music events, regularly booking headliners of global stature across rock, electronic, and indie genres. The Euskalduna Palace, a striking ship-shaped concert hall on the riverfront, hosts the Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa along with opera, ballet, and major touring productions throughout the year. The Arriaga Theatre, a neo-baroque gem in the old town, presents drama, dance, and smaller musical performances. Bilbao's Aste Nagusia festival in August transforms the city for nine days with free outdoor concerts, traditional Basque sports exhibitions, fireworks competitions, and street performances that fill the Casco Viejo and riverside areas. The Guggenheim Museum regularly stages special evening events, film screenings, and performance art. Bilbao's green and temperate climate means indoor venues stay busy year-round, while summer brings the best conditions for the city's major outdoor festivals and sporting events.

Frequently asked questions
What events are happening in Bilbao this weekend?
See our Bilbao events this weekend page for every show on sale for Saturday and Sunday, each with live ticket prices and secure partner checkout. New dates are added the moment they go on sale.
What's on in Bilbao tonight?
Browse the Bilbao events tonight page for today's shows with live availability and prices. If nothing is listed for tonight, the "All upcoming" listings above show the next available dates.
Are there free events in Bilbao?
The listings here are ticketed events and attractions with live prices, so we can't confirm free events. For paid concerts, theatre, sports and experiences in Bilbao, browse the listings above — each shows real prices before you buy.
How do I get tickets for Athletic Club at San Mames?
Tickets are sold through Athletic Club's official website and at the San Mames box office. Matches against Barcelona and Real Madrid sell out almost immediately, so act early for those fixtures. Games against mid-table opponents are easier to secure and still offer a tremendous atmosphere given the club's devoted fanbase.
What is Bilbao BBK Live and when does it take place?
Bilbao BBK Live is a three-day music festival held in early to mid-July on Kobetamendi hill, about 15 minutes from the city center by shuttle bus. It features multiple stages with international rock, pop, indie, and electronic acts. Camping is available on site, and day tickets as well as full festival passes are offered.
What other major events happen in Bilbao throughout the year?
Aste Nagusia in August is the city's biggest street festival with nine days of free events. The BIME music industry conference and festival takes place in autumn at the BEC convention center. The Bilbao Night Marathon draws thousands of runners in October. The Euskalduna Palace and Arriaga Theatre maintain full performance schedules from September through June.
