About Kobetamendi
Kobetamendi is Bilbao’s iconic hillside open-air festival site, perched on Monte Cobetas. Each year the venue transforms into a multi-stage complex with expansive camping areas, hosting hundreds of thousands of festival-goers for events like Bilbao BBK Live. Built around a large, flexible layout, Kobetamendi offers multiple viewing areas and sightlines rather than fixed seating, making it a dynamic experience for attendees. A refurbished hill-park space since 2005, the venue remains a premier site for live music in the Basque Country.
Whether you’re planning to catch a headline act or explore emerging artists across three days, we’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transit, and nearby accommodations to help you arrange a smooth trip.
Parking is managed through the event’s logistics network, including Parking BEC with shuttle services to the hill. In recent editions private car access is restricted to streamline traffic and improve safety, while dedicated bus and shuttle services, plus a walking route, help attendees reach the venue comfortably. For lodging and dining, Bilbao’s city hotels and local eateries serve festival-goers, with popular options nearby ready to accommodate post-show plans. Explore nearby hotels and restaurants we recommend, and remember: secure your seats and plans in advance with trusted partners.
Note: Kobetamendi hosts major events like Bilbao BBK Live and the historical Kobetasonik, continuing as a vibrant open-air festival site in Bilbao, Basque Country.
