Bigsound 2025

Valencia's iconic City of Arts and Sciences transformed into the beating heart of urban music on June 27–28, 2025, as BigSounds Festival marked its 5th anniversary with unmatched energy and style  .

Friday kicked off with a fiery blend of genre-bending performances. Bad Gyal and Abraham Mateo dominated, delivering fierce dancehall and trap vibes that had the crowd in a frenzy  . Rising stars like Luck Ra, Amaia, and Julieta, plus a heel-turning DJ set from Ele DJ, brought fresh flair—making the opening night equal parts polished and unpredictable  .

Saturday hit its crescendo with reggaeton heavyweights Ozuna (his exclusive Valencian show and first European stop of 2025!) and Nicky Jam delivering a tidal wave of chart-topping hits  . Support from La Zowi, Figa Flawas, Belén Aguilera, Nil Moliner, and Omar Montes rounded out a lineup that perfectly balanced mainstream swagger with underground grit  .

BigSounds isn’t just about killer acts—it’s a full-on lifestyle. The Food District served up culinary creativity from local and global stalls, while art installations, live painting, streetwear markets, chill-out lounges, and TikTok-worthy photo zones turned the festival grounds into a social media playground  . With shaded lounges, gadget-charging stations, and a carefully curated market, the festival struck gold in comfort and culture  .

The futuristic architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences provided a dramatic, cinematic backdrop—stages were massive, sound checks tight, and light shows spectacular. With over 70,000 fans per day, the crowd’s energy hit peak levels: pulsating, passionate, and unapologetically youthful!
