  • asacc – overview of figures & facts

    ASACC represents 69 music venues in Catalonia. They have a median of 150 audience capacity, so are generally small. Together the venues present well over 30,000 artist performances per year, which attract almost 4 million visits. Also 45% of the music venues organise festivals.



    The Catalonian venues do much more than live music alone, and are also involved in educational, social, artistic, culinary, and multi-disciplinary activities, such as:

    ASACC music venues are for 90% private commercial venues, with a total income of well over 67 million euro. Subsidy is only 3% of the total income of all venues. The venues generate most income from the audience (91%). This money is mostly spend to cover the costs of the music programme, workers and accommodation.
