Works affecting the Fira de Barcelona complex and the usual Maria Cristina venue led Barcelona to move its La Mercè finale to Nova Icària. Around 121000 people watched the show last night, while thousands more viewed it from higher points across the city. 3Cat reported that the works prompted the move.
Europa Press reported the attendance figure and confirmed that the beach hosted the Piromusical for the first time. The Barcelona City Council also reported the figure after the performance closed the city's festivities.
The new setting changed the event's physical scale, but its basic format remained the same: music matched with a coordinated fireworks display.
Nova Icària shaped the show.
Josep Montero selected and prepared the music for the production. He is the singer and leader of Oques Grasses. Marçal Cruz handled the final mix. Cruz is a designer and sound technician at the Oido studio.
3Cat and RTVE confirmed Montero's role in choosing the music. Pirotècnia Igual supplied the fireworks and synchronised them with the soundtrack.
Music and pyrotechnics formed a single show.
La Vanguardia reported that the previous year's Piromusical attracted around 110000 people at Maria Cristina. The comparison suggests the venue change preserved the event's broad public reach.
The sound also connected the finale with Oques Grasses. No track list or details about individual fireworks sequences were provided.
Montero prepared the soundtrack, while Oido completed the mix; Pirotècnia Igual staged the pyrotechnic display.
Barcelona's coastline became the basic viewing area. Higher points across the city brought the show to audiences beyond the beach.
Betevé described the production as a live audiovisual show with synchronised music and fireworks. The broadcaster said it was carried live across several platforms.
This seaside edition also follows the musical direction described in an earlier report about the new Piromusical format and Oques Grasses' central role.
The show is now complete. Its first Nova Icària edition closed La Mercè before around 121000 attendees.
Barcelona paired a new coastal venue with a locally rooted soundtrack. Professional teams synchronised the pyrotechnics with the music, making Nova Icària the setting for this year's final image.
