The city of Bilbao is already buzzing with the Bilbao BBK Live festival, which marks its 20th anniversary by beginning the wristband distribution process at San Mamés stadium.

San Mamés stadium has become the central hub for attendees to exchange their tickets for festival access. The proximity to the Termibus station has streamlined the arrival of both domestic and international visitors to the city.
This year's edition features over 80 artists, including major acts such as Robbie Williams, Calvin Harris, FKA Twigs, David Byrne, Interpol, and Lily Allen. Fans, ranging from long-time festival-goers to first-timers, are gathering in the city ahead of the main events.
The festival's international appeal is evident in the diverse crowd, with many attendees heading to the campsite at Monte Arraiz. Logistics and planning are key for the festival-goers as they prepare for the upcoming musical experience.
