Estopa to Close La Mercè Tonight With Artist‑Curated Piromusical at Restored Font Màgica

City hall grants curators full creative freedom without language or gender quotas.

Overview

  • The fireworks and music finale is scheduled for 22:00 at Avinguda Maria Cristina by the Font Màgica and will be broadcast on TV3.
  • Estopa will debut the Catalan rumba “Camila” with The Tyets during the show they curated.
  • The Font Màgica’s water-and-light choreographies return after rehabilitation, with full regular shows resuming on October 2.
  • Daytime street-arts and circus programming moved to the Parc del Fòrum this year due to works at Montjuïc as part of a broader decentralization effort.
  • Authorities rolled out a special weekend security operation of roughly 400–500 agents focused on seizing knives in the busiest festival areas.
