Outdoor urban festivals must dialogue and integrate into cities, trying to respect the sleep of residents with daytime hours and reducing noise pollution as much as possible. Also respecting the environments in which they are carried out, implementing recycling protocols and respect for the environment. It is also important to promote direct and indirect jobs from which the city benefits and to involve the commercial fabric of the area in its activities such as stands, markets, workshops, etc. RBF has put these premises as a banner of its philosophy both in its locations in cities or when they are carried out on the outskirts of them.
For this reason, in moments of conflict between neighbors and massive and noisy musical macro-events, the RBF claims to be a daytime festival, integrated into the dynamics of the populations, which begins and ends according to their customs, without causing disturbances at night.
Also in a festival that takes maximum care of all its details such as security protocols and that seeks to minimize the environmental impact through recycling, sustainability and respect for the environments in which its concerts take place.
For all these reasons, RBF is the festival of the future, a friendly model, open to all ages and respectful. An event that dialogues with cities and their administrations, which seeks to minimize their environmental footprint and make important values available to young people. From inclusion, equality, respect for women, responsible alcohol consumption, awareness about gambling and the desire to be a great universal festival.
The roots that the festival already has in Barcelona, the place where it began its journey in 2017, has also come hand in hand with a great economic return for the city as well as a great boost in entertainment tourism. The figures considered by the organization of RBF Barcelona 2023 speak for themselves: more than 2.6 million euros in direct economic impact and more than 8 million in indirect.
The great cultural impact of RBF is also very relevant, with an investment of more than 1 million euros in national and international artists, a poster of artists that brings together 150 million followers on social networks and the fact that more than 25% of attendees used their cultural bonus to purchase tickets.
RBF, which will have 12 venues this summer, returns to the Barcelona Forum on July 22 and 23 and that weekend artists as relevant as Anuel AA, Ozuna, Arcángel, Jhayco, Eladio Carrion, Bryant Myers, Sech, Lunay, Young Mirco and many others.
