More Than 183,000 People Back Bizkaia Arena's Best Start to a Year

Bizkaia Arena, the BEC pavilion, closed the first half of 2026 with 183,250 attendees, its best start to a year, consolidating its position as one of Spain's reference venues for live music and large-scale shows. May was among the most active months, with nearly two events per week and performances by Amaia, Fito & Fitipaldis, Megadeth and Beéle, plus the comebacks of La Oreja de Van Gogh and El Último de la Fila. The second half includes Aitana (September 18-19, sold out almost immediately), Dani Martín, Melendi, the Ura Bere Bidean festival and the return of Bryan Adams on November 13 — the artist who inaugurated the venue in 2005. Early 2027 programming already features the farewell of Pantxoa eta Peio, Rodrigo Cuevas and the SuperEnduro World Championship.
