Dates & venue

Dates	Saturday 28 November 2026 (8pm – 6am)
Venue	Bizkaia Arena — BEC! Bilbao Exhibition Centre
City	Barakaldo (Bizkaia)

Bizkaia Arena is the concert and large-event hall of the BEC! (Bilbao Exhibition Centre), at Ronda de Azkue 1 in Barakaldo. Although the festival is billed as Bilbao, the venue is in Barakaldo, about 15 minutes' drive from central Bilbao. It's very well connected: Ansio metro station (line 2) is next to the north entrance, the nearest Renfe station is Barakaldo, Bizkaibus line 3136 runs from Bilbao and there's a covered car park for around 4,000 vehicles. The challenge is getting home: the session ends at 6am on Sunday.

Practical tips for Blackworks Bilbao 2026

✓It's a ten-hour session: have dinner beforehand, stay hydrated and plan breaks.
✓Tickets are named and non-refundable. If you can't make it, name changes are handled as explained on blackworks.es.
✓There's no dress code: in the organisers' own words, "come as you are".
✓Late-November nights in Bizkaia are cold and can be rainy: bring a warm layer for the way out.
✓Sort your ride home before you go in: at 6am there's no Cercanías and the metro is on its night timetable.
✓If you're driving, make sure the driver is rested or take turns; carpooling makes that easier.
✓Check the access and prohibited-items policy on blackworks.es and the BEC website before you go.
