Get ready for BBK Live in style (and without getting cold)
BBK Live isn't just a music festival; it's a unique experience combining nature and great music. Every July, thousands of people gather on Mount Kobetas (Bilbao) to see artists like Arcade Fire , The Prodigy , and Massive Attack . But if there's one thing that characterizes BBK, besides the lineup, it's its ever-changing atmosphere and indie/rock vibe.
Don't know what to wear to BBK? Keep reading! We'll tell you what to pack to look comfortable, prepared, and stylish.
1. Layer upon layer: essential for the northern climate
Even though it's summer, the nights in Bilbao get chilly (and it can rain!). It's best to opt for layered looks, which you can add or remove as the mood changes. What you shouldn't miss: A denim jacket or a retro windbreaker: they're warm without being too heavy and add a touch of style. Oversized sweatshirts with college-style prints or Y2K prints.
Open plaid shirts over fitted tops or crop tops.
2. Comfortable shoes
You're going to be walking, dancing, climbing hills... Forget about platform shoes or open sandals. The best options: Vintage sneakers like the Nike Cortez, Adidas Campus, or classic Converse. Military-style boots or Dr. Martens if you want a more grunge look. If it's raining: 2000s-style rain boots.
3. Skirts, shorts or cargo pants
Shorts and miniskirts are perfect during the day, but don't forget to pack something with more coverage for the evening. BBK-friendly trends: Vintage denim shorts with a rocker belt. Wide-legged '90s-style cargo pants . Denim pleated or miniskirts paired with tights.
4. Key accessories for a festival look
At BBK, everyone has their own style, but accessories make the difference. Must-haves include: Y2K sunglasses : colorful frames or butterfly-style are a definite yes. Vintage caps, headscarves, or bucket hats. → Find unique accessories here
