Why turn a day party into a three-day festival?
Brunch Electronik built its name as a laid-back Sunday day-party brand in Barcelona, the kind of event where you could catch a house set with the sun still up and be home for dinner. That identity is now colliding with festival-scale ambition. This year's edition at Parc del Fòrum runs Friday to Sunday for the first time in the event's history at the venue, its fourth edition there, after two straight years capped at two days. More than 70,000 people turned up across those two prior editions combined, and the promoter has locked in the site through 2028, a sign this expansion is a bet on where the brand is heading, not a one-off stunt.
Who's actually on the bill?
The lineup tells the real story: it splits between the techno and deep-house crowd that built Brunch Electronik's reputation and a run of bigger, more crossover-friendly names. Friday pairs Jeff Mills and Miss Monique with Kaytranada and Paul Kalkbrenner. Saturday leans deeper into house and techno with Luciano and Floating Points playing live, alongside a BASHKKA b2b Sally C set and a headline slot from Eric Prydz. Sunday winds the weekend down with a DJ set from The Blaze. More than 100 artists are booked across the three days in total, up from the two-day format the festival has run at Parc del Fòrum in past editions.
What's changed on site?
The physical festival got an overhaul to match the extra day. A new stage called GrooviK, built with a circular roof and a two-level structure meant to bring the crowd closer to the DJ booth, joins an expanded IconiK stage. The sound system across the site has been upgraded to L-Acoustics. Logistics got attention too: free shuttle buses now run to the Friday and Saturday afterparties at Poble Espanyol, Sunday's closing party moves to NACAR, and the festival has partnered with the Music For All Foundation to add adapted spaces and specialist assistance for disabled attendees.
