Starts Mostra, the Independent Electronic Music Festival of Barcelona

Mostrathe independent festival dedicated to electronic music, returns from April 17 to 20, 2025 with which it will be its fourth edition.

After consolidating as a reference in the Barcelona scene, the event premieres two new venues: Fabra I Coats, for Thursday 17 and Friday 18, and the Olympic Pavilion of Vall d’Hebron, for Saturday 19 and Sunday 20, expanding its capacity.

The festival will feature a selection of national and international artists that stand out for their sound innovation and their ability to generate immersive experiences. A program that has sought to find a balance between emerging artists and consecrated figures. Among the confirmed names, we find Absis, Antonio Vázquez, Bastie (Live), Lynne, Margaux Gazur (Live), Maribel Tafur, Nicolás Melmann (Live), Nigul (Hybrid), Occa, Outlier, Patrick Russell, Peter Van Hoesen, Reeko, Robert Henke (Live), Slowfoam, Timnah & Mario (Hybrid) and Zara.

We are, therefore, before an edition of growth in which the Catalan festival will reaffirm its position as a meeting place in which the musical excellence and comfort of the audience are sought. And all this with a unique artistic proposal, a growing community and a sustainable model. In addition, Mostra is part of the Non -Callem network and has its own show show against sexual violence and LGTBIQ+phobic.

With a total of four entire days of music, the line-up of the fourth edition expands its musical offer to different genres. Of the total of 29 performances, a fifth is made up of local artists, while the percentage of performances with total presence or predominance of female artists is 41% of the total; Two signs of identity of the festival since its first edition in its commitment to programming with more local artists and women in a traditionally very masculinized scene.
