About this venue
Kobetamendi Park is more than a large urban park; it is an open-air venue with a distinctive identity. Set on elevated ground above Bilbao, this space combines natural surroundings, broad green areas and a sense of openness that makes it especially appealing for concerts, festivals and other outdoor events. That mix of landscape and functionality gives the venue its recognisable character.
Inside the grounds, the experience feels more relaxed than in a conventional arena or indoor hall. Visitors appreciate the spacious layout, clear sightlines and atmosphere that gives each event more air and freedom, while the open setting enhances the feeling of live music and large gatherings. Kobetamendi Park therefore works equally well as a place to enjoy the outdoors and as a venue for more demanding live productions.

About the city
Bilbao, the lively heart of the Basque Country, stands out as one of Europe’s most appealing destinations for concerts and sporting events. The city blends modern architecture, industrial heritage, and urban charm, so your trip offers more than just a seat in the stands or a spot on the floor. Alongside its energetic entertainment scene, Bilbao provides a wide range of dining and accommodation options, from hotels along the main avenues to practical stays in well-connected neighborhoods near arenas and stadiums.
Getting in and moving around is especially easy thanks to the combined networks of Metro Bilbao, Euskotren, and Bilbao tram, supported by city buses Bilbobus and regional routes Bizkaibus. If you arrive by train, the main railway station Bilbao-Abando Indalecio Prieto gives you quick access to urban lines, while Bilbao Intermodal is a reliable transfer hub for coaches and connections across the wider area. If you fly in, Aeropuerto de Bilbao (BIO) links the city with many European routes, and after landing it’s simple to continue to the center and on to key venues such as San Mamés or Bilbao Arena.
Once your ticket is sorted, take time to enjoy the city beyond the event schedule: stroll through Casco Viejo (the old town) and stop at Plaza Nueva, explore the riverside walks along the Nervión, or visit Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, one of the city’s most visually striking landmarks. For a perfect “after” experience, many choose pintxos in local bars or a visit to Mercado de la Ribera, where you can feel Bilbao’s everyday rhythm at its best.
