Amyl and The Sniffers

Amyl and The Sniffers Sell Out Razzmatazz, Twice
Amyl and The Sniffers play Barcelona’s Razzmatazz in Poblenou on 18 and 19 August 2026, and both nights sold out weeks in advance. The Melbourne punk band, fronted by Amy Taylor, built a reputation on ferocious live shows that revive 1970s Australian pub rock without any of the nostalgia. This stop is part of Primavera Tours, the year-round concert series Primavera Sound runs in partnership with Razzmatazz, and it landed here because the venue has hosted the band before.
Who Is Playing
Amyl and The Sniffers formed in Melbourne in 2016 and spent the years since turning short festival slots into full headline tours. Amy Taylor’s stage presence, part sprint and part sermon, explains why the band now sells out rooms this size on its own. Guitarist Dec Martens, bassist Gus Romer, and drummer Bryce Wilson round out a lineup built for speed rather than spectacle. If you know the band from a festival set squeezed between other acts, this is the version where they get the whole night, and Barcelona is one stop on a tour that has sold out in several cities already. Their most recent record pushed the band past the punk-revival tag critics used early on, and the live show has only gotten tighter as a result, even if tighter is a relative term for a band built around chaos.
What to Expect
Expect a short, loud set with almost no pauses between songs. Amyl and The Sniffers rarely play past ninety minutes, and the songs themselves run two or three minutes each, so the pace does not let up. The show runs in Razzmatazz’s LiveRoom 1, the venue’s largest indoor space, built for a crowd that wants to move rather than stand and watch. This is an over-16s show; younger fans need a signed authorisation from a parent or legal guardian to get in, and staff check IDs at the door.
When and Where
Doors open at 7:00 PM on both 18 and 19 August 2026, and the band takes the stage around 9:00 PM. Times can shift close to the date, so check Razzmatazz’s own listing before you leave home. The venue sits at Carrer dels Almogàvers 122, in the Poblenou neighbourhood, a former industrial district now dense with clubs, galleries, and old factory buildings converted into venues. Rooms 2 and 3 use a separate entrance on Carrer de Pamplona 88, so confirm which room your ticket lists before you arrive. The nearest metro stops are Marina on L1 and Bogatell on L4, both a short walk from the door.
Why It Sold Out
Amyl and The Sniffers arrived in 2026 as one of the most in-demand punk acts touring anywhere, and Razzmatazz suits them well: mid-sized, loud, and built for a room that wants contact rather than distance. Primavera Sound added the second date once the first sold out, and that one went too, within days. For a band whose whole appeal rests on a lack of polish, selling out an extra night in a city where they don’t headline festivals says something about how far the word has spread. Poblenou’s club scene has absorbed a wave of international acts over the past few years, but few sell out this fast.
How to Get In Now
Advance tickets ran €32 plus booking fee through Fever and Primavera Sound, and both dates are officially sold out with no box-office sales left. Fever still runs a waitlist for fans hoping to catch a last-minute release or a returned ticket, and that route is more realistic at this point than showing up hoping for a door sale. Tickets purchased while the show was on sale qualified for the Bono Cultural Joven youth culture voucher, though that no longer applies once a show sells out.

Planning Ahead
If neither date works out, Razzmatazz runs shows most weeks through the same Primavera Tours partnership, so another punk or rock act will likely pass through before the year ends. Poblenou has enough bars and late-night spots within walking distance to make an evening of it even if the concert itself is out of reach, and the neighbourhood is worth a wander on its own terms, industrial architecture and all.
