Primavera a Casa Teva
The new proposal Primavera a Casa Teva will gatecrash Barcelona homes with five exclusive concerts between the 31st May and 4th June, with one concert per night, with the collaboration of adidas Originals and the support of Sofar Sounds Barcelona.
The electronic dance music by British artist Romare in a DJ set will kick off this cycle of intimate shows on Wednesday 31st May in a magnificent terrace of a house in the Born, and on Thursday 1st June Kelly Lee Owens will reveal her disconcerting synth universe in a home in the Raval. Then on Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd June electronic pop by the Canadian band Operators and that pop institution called The Wedding Present will respectively invade two more homes in the area of Poblenou. Finally, the Malian band Songhoy Blues will bring their powerful desert blues to a building in Sant Antoni on Sunday 4th June.
If you want to attend you can take part in an online competition and win a ticket for two people for one of the sessions that will take place each day at 1 pm. On the 26th May the lucky winners will receive an email and on the day before the concert in question they will be informed, by the same means, of the exact address.
