The Spanish festival is slated to make its return next July, after being cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Itâll be the annual eventâs 15th incarnation, and is set to run between Thursday July 7 and Saturday 9.
LCD Soundsystem lead the first dayâs festivities, performing alongside the likes of Placebo, Caribou, Phoebe Bridgers and Stella Donnelly. On Friday, punters will be treated to sets by acts like Stromae, Bicep, Mykki Blanco and Tommy Cash, before the mainstage is closed out by The Killers.
J Balvin and the Pet Shop Boys will share headlining duties on the Saturday night, following a stacked line-up featuring Four Tet, BADBADNOTGOOD, Peaches, M.I.A. and Slowthai.
Take a look at the full line-up (with more acts still to be announced) below:
According to a press release, the festival will be split between 12 stages, eight of which are located on the primary site in Kobetamendi (a ânatural spaceâ on the outskirts of Bilbao âwith spectacular views of the townâ) and a further four more scattered throughout Bilbao.
One of those on-site setups will be the festivalâs unique âBasoaâ stage, which will be âenclosed by trees and seven circular sound towersâ. Punters will also have the option to camp on the festivalâs grounds.
Tickets for Bilbao BBK Live 2022 are on sale now from the festivalâs website, and are available in four tiers: one- and three-day passes that offer access to the festival itself, and three- and four-day passes that also include camping.
