In its more than 100 years of history, the Círculo de Bellas Artes party has been held at major venues such as the Teatro Real, although in recent years it has settled at its headquarters at 42 Alcalá Street. Thus, the building constructed by Antonio Palacios has become an ideal space for dancing, discovering talent, and establishing new relationships.
Leading cultural figures such as Rafael Alberti, Félix Grande, José Luis Cuerda, Clara Sánchez, Álex de la Iglesia, and Kiko Veneno have enjoyed this carnival event, fostering the intellectual and creative spirit of the institution.
In addition, the promotional posters have become authentic collector’s items, signed by prestigious illustrators and designers. On this occasion, the artist in charge was Ricardo Cavolo, famous for his illustrations, graphic novels, and murals , which he has taken to festivals in the United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Mexico.

The musical identity will be extremely varied thanks to the program by El Cuerpo del Disco, a duo that has established itself in Madrid thanks to its fresh, surprising sessions that combine disco, boogie, classic soul, and house.
Several DJs will also participate , such as Diana Aller, who combines urban, queer, and pop music , and Gee Contreras, who inserts Caribbean and African rhythms between beats from the 90s and 70s Latino New York, achieving very eclectic sounds.
The list is rounded off by the modernity of producer and DJ Anthonius; the house and techno dance music of TIRAYA and PatataOnStereo ; and the unique identity of Cherry Pie, with extensive experience in Madrid’s parties and clubs.
With all this, the Círculo de Bellas Artes promises a great carnival party, with tickets already on sale online at a general price of €50 and €40 for members.
