Get your planning books out as 888poker LIVE has announced its 2020 schedule for its live poker tour.
The tour will be returning to many familiar locations including London, Bucharest, Sochi, and Tallinn along with a new stop in Madrid. In addition, 888poker LIVE will once again be partnering with the Battle of Malta and most importantly with the World Series of Poker (WSOP) for the sixth straight year.
888poker LIVE 2020 Schedule Details
The 888poker LIVE tour kicks off with a new stop in the Spanish capital of Madrid at the Casino Gran Via on Jan. 23 to Feb. 3.
The festival guarantees €1 million including the lucrative 888poker LIVE Madrid €888 Main Event featuring a massive €800,000 guarantee. There are plenty of satellites and feeder tournaments already running at 888poker where players can win packages for as low as $0.01.
A couple of days later, the tour will head over to the British capital of London at the Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City for the 888poker LIVE London Weekend on Feb. 5-9. Expect many players from the gaming industry to play in this event as it coincides with one of the industry's biggest conventions the 2020 London Affiliate Conference (LAC).
The following month on March 23-29, the festival heads to the Romanian capital of Bucharest where you might not see Dracula but should instead witness a big poker festival. Last year, the €300,000 guarantee for the Main Event was smashed when 505 entrants generated a €387,638 with Darius Neagoe shipping the event for a cool €62,000 and a 2019 WSOP Main Event package valued at $12,600.
It's back to Spain, this time to one of the tour's most popular spots in sunny Barcelona for an action-packed festival on May 14-25 at the Casino Barcelona. The casino is located literally on the beach giving players a chance to enjoy some Mediterranean sunshine while not battling it out on the felts.
2020 WSOP Main Event & Crazy Eights Qualifiers Running at 888poker
Players from around the world will join plenty of 888poker qualifiers at the WSOP at the Rio Convention Center in Las Vegas. 888poker is not only sponsoring the popular Crazy Eights tournament at the end of June but also will once again be running plenty of qualifiers for the 2020 WSOP Main Event on July 1-14 as well.
The tour then heads back east to Casino Sochi on August 6-14 for another fantastic festival where players will be able to enjoy the delights of one of the most talked-about Russian resorts.
Not too much later, the festival returns to Olympic Park Casino in the Estonian capital of Tallinn on Sept. 1-7 for the first time since 2016. Tallinn has become a hotbed of poker activity and this festival is expected to not only draw in plenty of qualifiers but plenty of players from Scandinavian and Baltic countries as well.
Players are then in for a special treat as 888poker will once again be heading to the Battle of Malta at Casino Malta in October. The Battle of Malta Main Event more than doubled its €1,000,000 guarantee last year after attracting 4,657 entries to create a massive €2,258,645 prize pool.
As was the case in 2019, the festival will wrap up the year back at Aspers Casino in London on Nov. 16-29.

One of the most admirable things about Spanish people, in my opinion, is their commitment to a good party. Throughout the year there are a ton of festivals all over the country. Though their origins are often religious, a party is a party, and most of them can get pretty crazy. Here’s your month-by-month guide to some of Spain’s most unmissable fiestas.
December: Nochevieja Universitaria (Salamanca)
Invented by university students who wanted to celebrate New Years Eve with their friends before going home for the winter holiday, this festival is held on the last Thursday before term ends in December. Over the years its popularity has skyrocketed, and now people from all around Spain gather in Salamanca’s beautiful Plaza Mayor to drink, dance, and celebrate.
January: Tamborrada (San Sebastián)
This raucous festival celebrates San Sebastian’s history and long-standing tradition of “gourmet clubs.” People take to the streets all night long, drinking wine and eating and watching drummer groups parade through the city. Don’t expect to get a lot of sleep, because the festivities don’t stop till sunrise.
March: Las Fallas (Valencia)
Las Fallas is one of Spain’s best-known festivals, and involves days of parades, drinking and dancing in the streets, fireworks, and the ceremonial burning of enormous wooden structures. If you only make it to one festival all year this should be it.
40 Days Before Easter: Carnival (Cadiz)
The most famous Carnival takes place in Rio de Janeiro but the Spanish version in Cadiz gives Brazil a run for its money. Traditionally meant to mark the beginning of Lent, Carnival has become one of the most famous parties in the world, featuring crazy ornate costumes, sprawling street parties, and circus-themed events.
April: Feria de Sevilla
Spring in Sevilla is a beautiful time; what better way to celebrate it than with a week-long festival including food carts with regional specialties, drinks, music, and dancing? This feria got its start as a trade fair in the 19th century but eventually grew into a huge event attracting over 1 million people from around the world!
June: Haro Wine Festival (Haro)
Haro, a sleepy town tucked into the northern corner of vineyard-dotted La Rioja, kicks off every summer with a unique celebration. Not unlike Buñol’s famous Tomatina, the main event of this fiesta is a huge wine fight!
July: International Gay Pride (Madrid)
Pride has become a celebrated event all over the world, but Madrid’s festivities in particular stand out. The streets overflow with people dancing and drinking in the streets celebrating love and equality.
Second Week of July: San Fermin & the Running of the Bulls (Pamplona)
Probably the most famous festival in Spain, the Running of the Bulls is a long-standing Spanish tradition. The festival is in honor of the beheading (and thus martyring) of Saint Fermin. Starting at 8:00am, huge numbers of brave souls risk their lives to run through the city accompanied by 7 large angry bulls. The goal, incredibly, is to touch as many of the bulls as possible. The festival wraps up with bull fights.
August: La Tomatina- the Tomato Fight (Buñol)
No one is sure of the origin of this whimsical festival, but what we do know is it began in the early 1940s and the townspeople enjoyed it so much they kept doing it every year. People come from all around the world to get soaked in tomato juice (but don’t worry—they only allow you to throw overripe tomatoes so no one gets a nasty bruise).
September: La Mercè (Barcelona)
Catalonia is a proud region famous for its food, its countryside, its wine and its culture. Every September people gather in the thousands to celebrate all of that pride at La Mercè! This 4 day festival includes feasts, concerts, parades, castling, fireworks and fire runs! It’s the largest festival ever held in Barcelona and Catalonia and is a perfect way to embrace the Catalan way of life!
October: Fiestas del Pilar (Zaragoza)

This festival in honor of Zaragoza’s patron saint is reminiscent of a county fair with lots of food stalls, carnival games, and concerts. It also features a religious ceremony with a large altar dedicated to the saint covered with offerings of flowers and fruits.
Dates Change Every Year: Holi Run (Madrid)
Holi is a recent addition to Spanish festival culture. It is a colorful 5k run where thousands of participants throw brightly-hued powders into the air. It originated in Nepal and is also known as the festival of colors.
