Manga Barcelona 2025 – Fira Barcelona Gran Via – 5 December 2025

Now in its 31st year, Manga Barcelona is one of Europe’s leading festivals dedicated to anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture. Held across four days at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, the event features screenings, exhibitions, cosplay contests, and a growing music programme.

This year’s edition includes a rare European performance by SEATBELTS, the band behind Cowboy Bebop’s iconic soundtrack, led by composer Yoko Kanno, who will also take part in a talk session with director Shinichirō Watanabe. Rising soloist and former BiSH member AiNA THE END is set to deliver her first solo performance outside Asia, following the success of her DAN DA DAN theme ‘On The Way 革命道中’.
