The
Festival
Here, raving is not just a celebration but a statement of intent. OFFBCN honors the history of electronic music, from the early house and techno rhythms to today’s most cutting-edge sounds. Every set, every visual, every gathering is part of a narrative that defies time, proving that the raver spirit is unshakable yet always evolving.
More than a festival, OFFBCN is a borderless community—a laboratory of innovation where club culture merges with art and technology. It’s a call to those who feel the bass as their own heartbeat. In Barcelona, under the sky of Parc del Fòrum, a new chapter of this story is written each year: the rave continues, because dancing is eternal.
