Razzmatazz 3 is one of the five distinct rooms within the iconic Razzmatazz nightclub complex, situated in
Barcelona, Spain. The entire Razzmatazz venue has played a pivotal role in the city's nightlife and music culture since its opening in 2000, when it took over the site previously occupied by the legendary Sala Zeleste. Razzmatazz itself quickly became renowned as the first venue in Spain to host five different concert and club rooms under a single roof, each with its own musical identity and style.
Razzmatazz 3, while smaller and more intimate than the larger main rooms, has gained a reputation for embracing up-and-coming acts, underground talent, and specialized club nights, making it a favored haunt for both local music enthusiasts and visiting fans eager to discover new sounds. Its atmosphere is known for being both energetic and inclusive, which has helped the room maintain an important role in showcasing cutting-edge indie, electronic, and alternative musicians.
Over the years, Razzmatazz 3 has remained at its original location on Carrer dels Almogà
vers, in
Barcelona’s vibrant Poblenou neighborhood.
While the overall venue has undergone periodic renovations to improve sound quality and comfort, the essential spirit and structure of Razzmatazz 3 have endured. The room is cherished for its
raw, industrial vibe reminiscent of the city’s warehouse scene, a nod to
Barcelona’s cultural transformation and urban regeneration. Razzmatazz 3 continues to attract a dedicated following by supporting independent promoters, fostering local music scenes, and serving as a launchpad for fresh talent on both the Spanish and European circuits.
Among the notable artists who have performed in Razzmatazz 3 are international acts such as The Pains of Being Pure at Heart,
Crystal Castles, Grimes, and Ty Segall, who have all chosen the room for more personal and intense gigs. On the local front,
Barcelona-based bands and producers like Mujeres, Oques Grasses, El Guincho, and DJ Coco have played acclaimed sets, helping to cement Razzmatazz 3’s status as a key platform for Catalonia’s creative voices. The room has also featured memorable appearances from artists such as
Foals (in their early days), Porches, Alizzz, Triángulo de Amor Bizarro, and international DJs from the alternative and electronic scenes.
This wide-ranging roster highlights the venue’s ongoing commitment to musical innovation, diversity, and the celebration of both local and global artistry.
