Spain’s Live Music Revenues Continue Growth, Surpass €800m
Spain’s live music market continues its upward trajectory, with new figures from Asociación de Promotores Musicales (APM) showing sustained revenue growth across the sector.
Live music in Spain reached a new historical milestone in 2025, with ticket sales revenues totaling €807.2 million. The figure builds on €725.6 million recorded in 2024, marking a continued upward trend rather than a short-term recovery.
According to the data, live music is consolidating itself as a sector with structural growth, supported by strong and increasingly diverse audience demand. The sector is also highlighted as a growing economic driver beyond ticket sales alone.
Regional markets led by Madrid and Catalonia
The Community of Madrid remains the leading market, generating €237.2 million in ticket sales and accounting for 29.4% of total revenues. Catalonia follows with €163.2 million (20.2%), while Andalusia ranks third with €108.7 million, despite a slight year-on-year decline.
Domestic touring drives ticket sales
Spanish artists continue to dominate the touring market. Joaquín Sabina’s “Hola y Adiós” tour ranked as the top tour with 383,633 tickets sold across 41 sold-out shows. Manuel Carrasco and Antonio Orozco followed among the top-performing domestic acts.
Other strong performers include Aitana, Dellafuente, Arde Bogotá, Lola Índigo, Fito & Fitipaldis and Rels B.
International acts remain key
International touring also contributed significantly, led by Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons and AC/DC as the top international ticket sellers.
The continued growth underscores Spain’s position as one of Europe’s key live markets, with strong domestic talent and international demand driving a multi-year expansion of the sector.
