Apolo Club in Barcelona: The Music, The Crowd, The Location, The Times and the Vibe
Page Content
What?
Apolo Club is actually made up of two adjacent venues - Apolo 1 and Apolo 2. Apolo 1 is a larger space with an old theatre vibe - high ceilings, a large stage and lots of red velvet. Apolo 2 is a more modern space - darker, smaller and with a banging sound system. Before heading to Apolo it is worth considering the line-ups in the two different clubs - programmers try to ensure that the genres don't clash, ensuring that you can choose from a varied musical selection.
Apolo's music policy is one of the most forward thinking in the whole city. Both Apolo 1 and Apolo 2 are gig venues until midnight, after this the DJs hit the decks. Genres on offer span everything from hip hop to dub step to techno to burlesque, all depending on what night of the week you are there. Past DJs have included A-Trak, Skream and Drums of Death.
Who?
Apolo is known amongst Barcelona's young and hip as one of the places to head for the freshest sounds and the most cutting edge styles. Some of their mid-week nights are frequented by fashion kids who come to strut and have their photos taken. Weekends see a slightly older crowd take over - locals and tourists in search of good quality dance music from international DJs.
When?
Opening days: Monday - Sunday

Why?
Because both Apolo 1 and Apolo 2 offer some of the most cutting edge and forward-thinking music in the city. This will be served up to you in venues with a big personality and even bigger sound systems (particularly in Apolo 2). The crowd, atmosphere and music will vary depending on what night of the week you are there, so study the programme carefully.
