Dates & venue
Kobetamendi is a green hilltop above Bilbao, with the city at its feet and stages among the trees. You can't drive up in a private car: in 2026 people walked up (about 2.5 km from San Mamés) or took the free shuttles from San Mamés and from the BEC in Barakaldo, where the festival set up a car park. The campsite is on Mount Arraiz, 3 km from the site, linked by free shuttles.

Before you go
Tips for Bilbao BBK Live 2027
- Only buy through official channels: the festival website links to Fever, its official ticketing platform. If you can't go, TicketSwap is the only official fan-to-fan resale channel.
- Tickets are transferable: it doesn't matter if your name isn't on them.
- In 2026 you had to swap your ticket for a wristband before going up (at Sala BBK, San Mamés or the BEC): without it you couldn't board the buses or get in.
- Under-16s get in with an adult and a signed authorisation. 16- and 17-year-olds can go in alone with the authorisation. Children aged 11 and under get in free with a form and authorisation, up to two per adult.
- The festival is cashless: you pay with your wristband and there are no cash machines. If you top up online, any leftover balance is refunded automatically.
- Food and drink from outside, suitcases and large backpacks, bottles, cans and drones aren't allowed in. Free drinking water is available inside.
- You can't drive up to Kobetamendi: take the shuttles or the metro, or walk up, and if you're coming from further away, share the car to the car park.
