Barcelona rocks with Primavera Sound

Barcelona stays number one on the world pop scene with this year's addition of Primavera Sound (25-28 May).

The music will run the gamut from pop and rock to electronic to dance, always with a focus on the independent, the new, the underground, and the diverse. Bands will be local and from all over the world: from Austria, Chile, Poland, everywhere.

If you are looking for an escape from the usual and the commercial, this four-day music razzle is just right for you, and at the right price. And speaking of underground this year there will be free concerts at various Metro stops around Barcelona, close to the hotel. These concerts have become so popular they have outgrown their original home in the Park Forum and will spill into the Poble Espanyol this year.

Have kids? There is a minimusic space for children with workshops of music, collages, and biscuits.
The festive pop-music will permeate the city from 25-28 May and we at Hotel Principal will be happy to be your guides.

Bob Dylan returns to Barcelona after five years

We have fantastic news for music lovers everywhere and especially for fans of the singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. On 24 June of this year El Poble Espanyol in Montjuic will be hosting a spectacular live concert by the American legend. Don´t miss it!

This promises to be one of the great events of the year. It forms part of Dylan´s European tour which will present “Together Through Life”, his new album. There are sure to be musical breakthroughs and surprises: Dylan defies convention and you never know what this genius of innovation will be doing next! But you can also be sure this cult figure will be singing some of his classics from the worlds of protest, folk, rock, gospel, songs like “Blowing in the Wind”, “Like a Rolling Stone,” “The Times They Are a-Changing”…

Tickets run a modest 55 Euros. But the singer wanted to keep at least some intimacy; he chose a venue with a capacity of about 5000 spectators, so space is limited. If you are a serious Dylan fan or someone who wants to get to know this living legend better, act now.
