This Thursday Madrid lives one of the most intriguing moments of the summer with the traditional surprise concert of the Veranos de la Villa, under the name Algo inesperado. This event, which has become an essential date in Madrid’s August, keeps the mystery: as every year,the name of the artist will be revealed only when he takes the stage of the Central Patio of the Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Conde Duque, at 9:30 pm.
Expectations are high because of the history of this show: in previous editions, bands like Vetusta Morla, Carolina Durante or artists like Kiko Veneno and Mala Rodríguez have surprised the audience, consolidating the event as one of the most unique musical experiences of the summer in Madrid. This year, the only piece of information revealed is especially intriguing:the artist has requested a Steinway grand piano, further fueling bets and rumors about whether any of the big names of national pop will return or if we will discover an unexpected new voice.
Free tickets can be booked from today, Monday, at 9:30 pm. It is usual for tickets to be in high demand and sell out soon, so if you want to attend it is best to get your tickets as soon as possible. Something unexpected lives up to its name and differs by that right point of curiosity, surprise and musical quality; a plan worthy of those who have resisted the heat and have stayed in the capital.
