The La Mercè festival in Barcelona features a diverse musical program, highlighted by a performance by Love of Lesbian at Bogatell Beach. This concert serves as a farewell to the band following their announcement of an indefinite hiatus and included guest appearances by Rigoberta Bandini and Manolo García.

Other major musical events include the Europa FM concert at Avenida María Cristina. The festivities are scheduled to conclude with the traditional Piromusical, which has moved to Nova Icària beach due to construction at the Montjuïc site. Local authorities have recommended the use of public transport to manage high attendance and traffic disruptions.
