What Nitsa Is Like: Sala Apolo's Weekend Electronic Club

Nitsa is the electronic music club that runs inside Sala Apolo, at Nou de la Rambla 113 in Barcelona, Spain, every Friday and Saturday from midnight to 6am, with house, techno and international DJs in Apolo's main room. It calls itself “Barcelona's longest-running electronic music club”, and it is 18+.

What Nitsa is, exactly

Nitsa is not a separate building. It is a club brand with its own programming, its own following (almost 100,000 people on Instagram) and its own tickets, and it has lived at Apolo two nights a week since the mid-1990s, according to The New Barcelona Post, in the old 1943 dance hall on Nou de la Rambla. Resident Advisor talks about house, techno, trance “and beyond”, a top-tier sound system and dynamic lighting. If you have heard people say “we're going to Apolo” on a Saturday night, in practice they are going to Nitsa.

How a weekend works: the rooms and the line-ups

On Friday and Saturday Apolo splits in two. Nitsa takes the main room, Sala Apolo, and Astin, its sister party, takes La (2) next door; on those nights the rooms are not connected and each ticket only gets you into its own party. Take the weekend of 23 and 24 October 2026. On Friday Nitsa handed the main room to Boys Noize's label and platform for “ONES and ZEROS”, with Boys Noize himself and Schacke, while Astin had Skee Mask, DJ Marcelle and Imox. On Saturday Yung Prado played all night long at Nitsa, and Astin had Erol Alkan, Jonjo Jury and Ferdiyei. Nitsa's first look at November already named 2manydjs (DJ set), Bambounou, Cloonee, Hekt and horsegiirL.

That mix is the point of Nitsa: big international names next to residents and all-night sets, with styles that go from techno and electro to more playful club music. Since Nitsa and Astin are separate tickets, decide which line-up you want before you buy: you cannot switch rooms during the night.

Where to check who is playing

Line-ups are announced week by week. Apolo posts its full weekly agenda at the start of the week (the one for 19 to 25 October went up on Monday 19), and Nitsa presents each night's guests on its own account during the days before, plus a monthly preview: the November one was out on 19 October. Names can still change at the last minute, which is normal in club land. If you message us on WhatsApp, we will check the line-up and the room for that weekend and tell you what is on.

Nitsa or Sala Apolo: how they differ

Age, ID and dress code

Apolo's club sessions, Nitsa included, are 18+ with photo ID. There is no published dress code: this is a dance-music crowd, so comfortable shoes beat heels. Apolo asks everyone to keep the space safe and inclusive, free of harassment and discrimination.

Getting home at 6am

Nitsa closes at 6am, the legal limit for clubs on Fridays and Saturdays in Catalonia. On Saturday nights the metro runs all night, so that is the easy one. On Friday the last trains leave around 2am and after that it is the NitBus, every 20 minutes until 6am, almost all lines through plaça de Catalunya, or a taxi.
