Coldplay and Imagine Dragons hits come to Alicante in candlelight concerts

Coldplay and Imagine Dragons are heading to Alicante’s Archaeological Museum, although not quite as you know them. The popular Candlelight concert series will feature a string quartet performing some of the bands’ biggest hits, surrounded by hundreds of flickering LED candles. With concerts scheduled from November through February, music fans have several opportunities to enjoy a different take on their favourite songs.

Candlelight concerts bring pop and rock classics to Alicante

The first concert takes place on Saturday, November 21, at 8:30 PM, with tickets starting at €22.

The programme includes Coldplay favourites Clocks, Fix You, The Scientist and Viva La Vida, alongside Imagine Dragons hits Radioactive, Thunder, Believer and Bad Liar.

Neither band will appear in person. Instead, the musicians will perform instrumental arrangements in the intimate setting of the MARQ Archaeological Museum.

The combination of familiar songs, string instruments and hundreds of LED candles promises a different musical experience from a traditional pop or rock concert.

Five concert dates scheduled until February

If you cannot make the first concert, further performances are scheduled for December 27 at 6:30 PM, January 16 at 8:30 PM, January 30 at 6:30 PM and February 27 at 6:30 PM.

The Noor Quartet will perform the November and December dates, followed by the Adre Quartet in January and February.

Each performance will feature instrumental interpretations of songs made famous by two of the world’s best-known contemporary bands, offering audiences the chance to hear the music in a more intimate setting.

MARQ museum provides atmospheric concert setting

Each concert lasts approximately one hour and is suitable for anyone aged eight or over. The venue is wheelchair accessible.

Doors open around 30 minutes beforehand, and late admission is not permitted.

The concerts take place at the MARQ Archaeological Museum, Plaza Doctor Gomez Ulla, Alicante.

The museum setting adds an unusual backdrop to the performances, with the LED candlelight creating an atmosphere designed to complement the string quartet arrangements.
