Kultura Live – figures & facts

Kultura Live represents 15 music venues in Basque Country. The venues have a median of 648 audience capacity, but some of them hold less than 150 people. Together the venues present 2,300 artist performances per year, which attract well over 400.000 visits. Also 50% of the music venues organise festivals.
