San Sebastián has a rock festival in the middle of December. On Friday 11 and Saturday 12 December, Bolo-Bolo Weekend brings eight bands to the Intxaurrondo Kultur Etxea, with Triángulo de Amor Bizarro and Canadian band The Sadies topping each night, and tickets from €28 to €33 per day.
Line-up by day: Triángulo de Amor Bizarro and The Sadies
Both nights start at 20:00, with four bands each:
- Friday 11 December: Triángulo de Amor Bizarro, Shego, Sal del Coche and Funeral de Caballo.
- Saturday 12 December: The Sadies, Dear Joanne, Marte Lasarte and Mostaza Karizia.
Triángulo de Amor Bizarro, the A Coruña band formed in 2004 somewhere between indie, noise and post-punk, arrive with Mi Catedral, the album they released this year. The Sadies, from Toronto, have been mixing alternative country and rock and roll since 1994. Their album Colder Streams won the 2023 Juno Award for Adult Alternative Album of the Year, a year after the death of Dallas Good, one of the brothers who founded the band.
According to the official announcement, the rest of the line-up combines local bands who sing in Basque with young acts from rock, pop-rock, psychedelic rock and electropunk. Set times for each performance have not been published.
Tickets from €28 to €33 per night
Each day costs €33, with a price of €28 in advance, according to Donostia Kultura. Tickets are available from the Donostia Kultura online box office, where tickets for both nights were still available this Sunday. The official programme also mentions a two-day pass, on sale until 10 December, but does not give its price.
The Intxaurrondo Kultur Etxea is at calle Félix Gabilondo, 1, in the Intxaurrondo neighbourhood.
A festival by Donostia Kultura and Bloody Mary
Bolo-Bolo Weekend is organised by Donostia Kultura and Bloody Mary Discos y Producciones, the San Sebastián record shop and promoter. It was launched in autumn 2025, tied to Bloody Mary's 30th anniversary, and the official announcement describes it as a festival that gives particular prominence to line-ups made up entirely or mostly of women.
Bolo-Bolo was already included in our guide to December festivals. The rest of that month's events are in the December listings, and what's on in the Basque Country is in Basque Country festivals.
