Take That come to Barcelona!

Since remerging into public attention for the first time after their hysterical break up in 1996, Take That shot to number one with their single Shine in 2005 and ever since they have performed consistently to sell-out venues around the globe. With a few more grey hairs around the temples and one member less, this is not quite the same boyish heart-throb group of the early nineties but the latest tour promises to be an incredible show. The concert will fuse old favourites such as How deep is your love and Back for Good with songs from their successful comeback album. But can the group ever be the same without rebel Robbie?

‘The most successful British band’ of the 90s will be performing in the Palau Sant Jordi on 20^th October at 22.00 as part of their whistle stop tour around Europe. For visitors arriving in Barcelona for the concert this is the ideal opportunity to make the most of a long weekend in the city. The Palau Sant Jordi is well connected to the city centre by a regular bus service (number 50) which runs until 22.15. To return to your barcelona hotel after the concert, Barcelona’s metered taxis are good value for money and easy to use.

Asics Music Festival

Step inside the Palau Sant Jordi on 12th and 13th October and you instantly be transported 9,980 miles to the heart of Tokyo. For the event of the Asics Music festival the city of Tokyo will be recreated down to the smallest detail, with Japanese gardens, Geisha houses...even the smell of the city will be reproduced in this 3000m2 area.

Erentxun. Both concerts will begin at 18.30 leaving you plenty of time to enjoy this unique
opportunity to explore the unusual surroundings. So tuck into a plate of sushi, admire Japanese handicrafts and breathtaking martial arts displays and enjoy this exceptional event!
