Which is one of the longest-lived and most emblematic live music concert halls in Barcelona, Sidecar, is celebrating. The next 24, 25 and 26 March it will celebrate its fortieth anniversary with forty hours of special activities and luxury guests.
Sidecar will carry out this celebration at the end of the month, exactly the March 24, 25 and 26with a very articulate premise: “40 years, 40 hours of music and activities”. In other words, to celebrate this anniversary, Sidecar, the room with the longest continuous programming in Barcelona, presents a proposal that reflects the great diversity of activities that it has hosted over the years. Following this theme, the party is called “40 Hour Party People”.
The room began to be from its beginnings an essential reference of the Barcelona cultural scene of the early eighties; it knew how to stay at the forefront by incorporating the best of the new trends that emerged in the nineties, it embraced the eclecticism of the turn of the century and reaches 2022 perfectly adapted to the versatile and groundbreaking spirit of recent generations. On its stage they have passed since, to give some examples, The National, Iron & Wine, At The Drive-In or the very New York Dolls even most of the independent scene in our country. One that has never played there is the Valencian group The Red Roombut that is going to be solved on this same anniversary.
