Lali Jove 2026: free concerts and youth culture at Barcelona Cathedral

On the night of 13 February, Avinguda de la Catedral is transformed. Live music, batucada drumming and cultural activities fill the city centre. Discover the times and artists who will bring the Santa Eulàlia youth celebration to life.

On Saturday 13 February, the heart of Barcelona beats to the rhythm of youth. Lali Jove, an unmissable event in the Santa Eulàlia festivities, turns Avinguda de la Catedral into a vibrant stage where music and culture take over the streets at no cost to the public.

From the early afternoon, the city is filled with events that invite people to take part and reflect. At 18:00, the headquarters of Top Manta hosts a live podcast, where young activists and experts discuss racism and culture, raising the curtain on a day marked by social commitment.

The energy moves into the streets at 19:00 with the anti-racist and decolonial Cercacultura. The all-female Batukalla batucada sets the rhythm for a route that stops attendees at key points in the centre: Antiga Massana, Palau de la Virreina and, finally, Plaça de la Catedral, where Oyofe’s African urban dance surprises those walking through the area.

The night is reserved for live music. After the performance by the youth casteller groups and the presentation of the BarnaJove awards, Avinguda de la Catedral becomes the epicentre of the celebration. Bigwé opens the stage at 20:40, followed by Flashy Ice Cream’s urban pop at 21:40. The party continues with Les que Faltaband at 23:10 and culminates with DJ Soumeya’s set at 1 in the morning.

Lali Jove’s programme promises a unique experience for those seeking different plans in Barcelona. The combination of music, activism and popular culture makes this Saturday a notable date for the city’s young people.

Lali Jove has become one of the most representative spaces for Barcelona’s youth during the Santa Eulàlia festivities. It was born with the intention of giving voice and prominence to new generations, committed to inclusive and collaborative proposals. Each edition adds new activities and artists, reflecting the city’s diversity and dynamism. Its location on Avinguda de la Catedral reinforces the open, participatory character of the event, which year after year attracts thousands of young people and curious visitors.
