Oques Grasses absolute madness: over 100,000 tickets sold for two gigs, two more on sale

It all started a few months ago, with rumors that Oques Grasses, one of the most mainstream Catalan-speaking bands nowadays, would stop its activity next year.

Last Sunday the worst possible news for fans confirmed, but with a positive note: the Central Catalonia band would say goodbye to all of them at a concert in Barcelona's Olympic Stadium on October 10, 2026.

This was already extraordinary, since no Catalan-speaking bands had never dared to try to fill the over 50,000 seats of Estadi Olímpic at a solo concert –the precedents were only sold outs of several bands at nearby Palau Sant Jordi, with a capacity of 16,000.

Despite the big challenge for the band, just 21 minutes after tickets went on sale, Oques Grasses exceeded all expectations and sold out completely, with tens of thousands still waiting in a queue that reached six figures.

They had no alternative after a massive disappointment for all those unlucky in pressing F5 button: they announced a second show the day before.

The answer from fans? Snapping up all the fresh 50,000+ tickets for October 9 in 19 minutes, something as savage as for the other gig.

Selling over 100,000 tickets for a single Catalan-speaking band was already an all-time record –surpassing the nearly 100,000 sold by singer-songwriter Lluís Llach in 1985 for his most famous concert in Camp Nou.

Yet, fans wanted more, as dozens of thousands had remained empty-handed once more.

As a response, on Friday night, the creators of 'Sort de tu', 'La gent que estimo' or 'Elefants' announced an absolutely mind-blowing decision: they would perform twice more that week in the same venue, on October 5 and 7, with tickets on sale next Monday, November 17, at noon.

If they are able to go sold out once more, they will have surpassed any past milestone of Catalan music by far, and will have matched the absolute record in Barcelona, set by Coldplay in May 2023, when they sold out the same Olympic Stadium for times in a week, gathering 225,000 people overall.

Will they tie this record? If so, will they go for a five-Olympic-Stadium all-timer?
