Sala Apolo is a Barcelona institution — described as "the oldest disco in Spain and a cultural benchmark that has hosted thousands of shows and parties." Housed in a stunning 1940s theatre in the Poble Sec neighbourhood, it retains its original retro atmosphere while operating as one of the most forward-thinking and internationally respected live music and club venues in Europe.
The venue runs four distinct spaces simultaneously — Sala Apolo (the main hall), La [2], La Cinc and La [3] — hosting everything from underground electronic club nights to indie concerts, jazz cycles and even a film club. It also places strong emphasis on being a safe and inclusive space, free of discrimination in all forms.
Nitsa — Inside Sala Apolo
Nitsa is one of Europe's most respected electronic music club nights, held inside Sala Apolo every Friday and Saturday. Founded in the 1990s, it has consistently championed underground techno, house and experimental electronic music, bringing world-class international artists to Barcelona's most atmospheric room. Nitsa is not a separate venue — it is the club night that takes over Sala Apolo on weekends.
