Grab your flares as the anthems, energy, and legendary guitar solos that defined a generation are coming to the Costa del Sol for one incredible night of music.
Reclaiming the magic under the stars
Decades after mud, guitars, and a sea of hippies gathered on a New York farm, Woodstock’s unique energy is touching down in Spain. Opera Benalmadena is hosting Woodstock 1969, a tribute on Saturday, July 25, a five-hour, uninterrupted live concert to transport the audience straight back to an era of change, rebellion, and musical communion.
Six legends all take on one stage
Fans of the era can look forward to recreations of the iconic sounds and attitudes from a hosts of timeless artists, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who, Santana, Joe Cocker, Crosby, Stills and Nash & Young
Get ready for a heavy dose of live rock anthems from Hendrix’s iconic guitar riffs and Santana’s Latin percussion to Cocker’s gravelly vocals. Instead of a rigid, clinical tribute, the organizers are aiming for a fluid, high-energy festival vibe that does justice to the raw spirit of the original weekend.
Save the date
Doors open at 8pm on Saturday, July 25, taking place at the open-air auditorium Opera Benalmadena, located at Av. de Rocio Jurado, guests can enjoy a proper summer night of singing and celebrating under the stars, with the music running well past dark. Because seating is limited for an event of this scale, early booking is highly advised for groups keen to secure prime spots.
