The most successful band in electronic music history, Depeche Mode, will return for their second appearance at Bilbao BBK.

TNT is a proud media partner of Bilbao BBK which is held at the same time as San Fermin, the Running of the Bulls in nearby Pamplona.

Bilbao BBK Live is a three-day event that takes place on top of a hill surrounded by mountains offering spectacular views over the city of Bilbao. The privileged location of the site, its proximity to the city and beach and a late start of bands, allow festivalgoers to make the most of this event and unique setting.

Bilbao is a modern city famous for its architecture, museums and gastronomy, and it’s just a stone’s throw away from some of the best waves in Europe.

Bilbao BBK Live is above all a fuss free festival; with an uncomplicated layout, easy access from the city and airport it has proven to be a huge success with national and international festival goers.
