Dates & venue
The BEC! (Bilbao Exhibition Centre) is 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, as with any long night, is getting home.

Before you go
Practical tips for UN1TED Bilbao 2026
- Only buy from the official sale (un1tedfestival.com, Tickets section) and check the times and entry conditions there, including the minimum age.
- The full lineup hasn't been published yet: follow @un1tedfestival on Instagram for announcements.
- It's a long night: have dinner beforehand, stay hydrated and plan breaks.
- December 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: late at night there's no Cercanías and the metro depends on that night's night or special service.
- If you're driving, make sure the driver is rested or take turns; carpooling with other ravers makes that easier.
Where to stay
Where to stay for UN1TED Bilbao 2026
If you're coming from Santander, Vitoria, Donostia, Burgos or further, think about the late-night trip back rather than the way there: sleeping near the BEC makes that ride much shorter.
Barakaldo
The most practical option for a short trip back after the festival.
Bilbao
The biggest choice of accommodation, about 15 minutes by car or connected to Ansio station by metro line 2.
Left bank (Sestao, Portugalete, Santurtzi)
Neighbouring towns on the same metro line 2.
