Open to all musicians

The Big Bang Open Mic is open participation: rock, blues, pop and whatever else people bring to the stage. Whether you're a travelling musician with a guitar in your backpack, an international resident looking for a regular place to play, or a local trying out new songs, this is a friendly room to do it.

If you'd rather listen, every night brings different performers — part of the fun is never knowing exactly who will play next.

Before you come

Sessions start at 8pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. For details on signing up or the gear available on the night, ask the bar team or send us a message on Instagram.

A century of music on Carrer d'en Botella

This venue began life as a tavern in the early 1900s, and live music has held a place of honour here ever since — even under the two dictatorships of the last century, song and dance carried on in this corner of the old “Barrio Chino”.
