The story

The BIME Live Festival is a multi-genre event held from October 27-30, 2026, in Bilbao, Spain, at the Bilbao Exhibition Center. Although relatively new, it has hosted major artists like The Chemical Brothers and Imagine Dragons. The festival features a lineup that spans rock, pop, and electronic genres.

BIME Live Festival is a 2-day rock, pop, electronic festival at Bilbao Exhibition Centre in Bilbao, Spain. The October 2026 edition runs 28–29 Oct 2026.

Announced so far: 1111, Aeronave Adolescente, Aldhara, Amor Líquido, Ana de Llor, Angeladorrrm, Avenida and Azuleja and 23 more. Expect stages split between Rock, Pop and Electronic. The line-up is spread across the 2 festival days, so a full-weekend ticket is the only way to catch every name.

Everything happens at Bilbao Exhibition Centre, in Bilbao. Bilbao is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

BIME Live Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Wednesday and closing on a Thursday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Bilbao are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Held at Bilbao Exhibition Centre
• Multi-genre event
• Features renowned artists like The Chemical Brothers
• Notable for its focus on gender diversity
• Upcoming in 2026, previously held from 2016

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to BIME Live Festival works out at roughly €366 per person on the cheapest combination we track — one of the more affordable weekends in our index.

The ticket is only 26% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is bus · 13h 24m each way, at €91 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at BIME Live Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 3 nights rather than 2: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4If you fly into Not specified, check the transfer time to Bilbao before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
5. 5Follow BIME Live Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
