Barcelona Sets Estopa-Curated Piromusical to Close La Mercè Tonight With Restored Font Màgica

Reinforced security accompanies a finale that caps a festival whose daytime program shifted to the Parc del Fòrum.

Overview

  • The closing Piromusical begins at 22:00 on Avinguda Maria Cristina with a soundtrack curated by Estopa, featuring the premiere of the Catalan rumba “Camila” with The Tyets and selections including Extremoduro, Los Chichos and Albert Pla, and it will be broadcast on TV3.
  • The Font Màgica returns to full water, light and sound choreography after rehabilitation, with the Piromusical as the first show at 100% before regular evening displays resume on October 2.
  • City services have activated a special mobility and safety plan for the Piromusical and the concurrent Barça match: the Montjuïc monumental area closes to pedestrians from 15:00, vehicle access is limited to Carrer Foc, shuttle buses start at 16:30, and Metro lines—especially L1 and L3—are reinforced.
  • Daytime street-arts programming has run at the Parc del Fòrum due to works in Montjuïc, drawing strong family attendance across multiple stages and consolidating the venue in this year’s decentralization.
  • Barcelona City Hall displays large banners reading “Paremos al gobierno genocida de Israel” and “Solidaridad con la flotilla,” a move agreed Friday by the Junta de Portavoces.
