Razzmatazz

Barcelona


Bands from far and wide occasionally create scenes of near-hysteria at Razzmatazz, one of the city’s classic live-music and clubbing venues. Bands appear throughout the week (check online), while on weekends live music gives way to club sounds. Five different rooms, with offerings varying from night to night, in one huge postindustrial space attract people of all dance persuasions and ages.

The main space, RazzClub, is a haven for the latest international rock and indie acts. The Loft does techno, house and electro, while the Pop Bar offers anything from R&B to '80s hits. Lolita is the land of house, disco and electro, and upstairs in the Rex Room sounds range from hip-hop to dancehall.
