UNVRS is a prominent nightclub in Spain that has garnered attention for its cutting-edge musical programming and unique approach to immersive nightlife experiences. Founded in the early 2010s, the venue quickly established itself within Spain’s vibrant electronic music scene, recognized for its forward-thinking booking
policy and commitment to showcasing both established and up-and-coming talent. UNVRS initially opened in a converted industrial space on the outskirts of
Barcelona, capitalizing on the city’s reputation as an international party hub.
