A SPECIAL SETTING FOR THE OCCASION

The intention of this year’s Barcelona Eurovision Party is to become the closest thing to the Eurovision Song Contest. In fact, a “green room” area will be created for artists and screens next to a large stage. “Our goal is to create an environment like the Eurovision Song Contest, for all those people who cannot travel to Liverpool this year”, reveals Olivier Grau, one of the organizers of the Barcelona Eurovision Party.

DAY ACTIVITIES IN THE DAILY PROGRAM

In addition to the 3 concerts, daytime plans such as musicals, talks, conferences, presentations and even tours of the city have been programmed throughout the days so that Eurofans can enjoy the city of Barcelona during their stay.
