When it's time to celebrate Barcelona's patron saint, La Mercè, there's no messing around with the music. Once again the programme is an eclectic one – pop, rock, electronica, world music, jazz, classical – where you can see well-known acts as well as make some new discoveries, and all of it is top quality. This is our selection of must-see concerts during the programme of the BAM festival (Barcelona Acció Musical, which is more than 20 years old) and the musical portion of the Mercè itself.
