November is the month for all tastes: this month everyone will find their place in the halls, stadiums and arenas of Madrid, promised. The November concerts are varied, eclectic, with international pop stars like Katy Perry or Radiohead, who have already given their all, and niche gods like Clan of Xymox (just bowing to the fathers of gothic rock) and controversial presences (really, Marilyn Manson?).
But it is also a month of greatest hits, such as the iconic machination of La Élite, the hardcore with Turnstile (a question thrown into the air: how many with a ticket for Turnstile also have one for Deafheaven?) or the presence of a postmodern and unclassifiable artist such as Tommy Cash.
Dani Martín (November 21, 22, 28 and 29)
25 p*t*s years. Dani Martín joins the group of artists who are celebrating 25 years on stage this 2025 (like Love of Lesbian, like Elefantes). The former Canto del Loco, who dedicates songs to women to whom he quietly takes out, almost the 25 years he now celebrates, will occupy the Movistar Arena stadium during several dates between November and December (12, 13, 19 and 20 of the last month of the year). Everything, we repeat, everything is sold out.
Where? Movistar Arena, at Goya Street, 90 (Salamanca neighborhood).
James Arthur (November 18)
His fame was born from the program The X Factor (British edition) in 2012. From there, he defended his talent without the need for cameras as he demonstrated with his liminal album, Impossible. Between soul, pop, R&B… he sings of love, loss, mental health and redemption, including his personal life and narrating his own artistic journey.
Tickets: from 51€.
Where: Movistar Arena, 90 Goya Street (Salamanca neighborhood)
The Belair Lip Bombs (November 18)
The Belair Lip Bombs were born in Melbourne with sounds that honor garage-rock and elaborate choruses that have the overwhelming ease of becoming chanting. Now that’s a gift. They are part of Jack White’ s label , Third Man Records, with whom they will release their second album (to be presented in November at El Sótano).
Tickets: from 16,20€.
Where: Sala El Sótano, at Calle de las Maldonadas, 6 (La Latina).

Apple celebrates its birthday (four decades in our country) and celebrates it with an event in the place where the iconic store of the capital is located: Puerta del Sol. How? With Amaia, Dellafuente, Israel Fernández and Yerai Cortés. No words, really. Schedules and access information, in this link.
Admission: free
Where? Puerta del Sol
Slow Crush (November 19)
Distortion, that incessant buzzing that works as white noise and on which different layers are added, generating noise and more noise and more noise and more noise. Well of reverb, as the Primavera Tours team says, “layers of distortion arranged like a lasagna”. We can’t think of a more accurate metaphor to define the sound of Slow Crush.
Tickets: from 20€.
Where: Sala Nazca Live, Orense street, 24 (Tetuán)
MØ (November 19)
Karen Marie Ørsted is MØ, a Danish artist who is an expert in molding alternative pop, electronica and even R&B to her liking, creating something hardly definable with a single word. This craftsmanship of sound is combined with a raw voice that grabs emotion and feelings and unambiguously releases them.
Tickets:from 18€.
Where: Sala Copérnico, at 67 Fernández de los Ríos St. (Chamberí).
Samantha Hudson (November 20)
Those who know Samantha Hudson know that the choice of this date is not arbitrary. A few days ago, the artist announced this show “a divine concert, music for dolls, supreme ratatuleo”. We will be there.
Tickets: from 22€Where: Sala BUT, in Barceló street, 11 (Malasaña)
La Élite (November 20)
You may like them more or less but if there is something undeniable in this uncontrollable love we have for La Élite, is that they know how to make generational hymns. Moreover, they execute them in a fun way on stage, clumsy, without wanting to sound good. Because La Élite are good punk. The real thing. Enough of wannabes.
Tickets: from 22€.
Where to go? La Riviera, Paseo Bajo de la Virgen del Puerto, 3A (Arganzuela)
DEAFHEAVEN (November 21)
What Deafheaven did in the last edition of the Outbreak festival in Manchester was out of this world: there was pogo, there was stage diving, there was crying, crying. It was cathartic and healing. Only a voice like George Clarke ‘s (let’s be honest, he is now at the peak of his career) is capable of making screamo and melodic post-metal a transcendental, visceral experience. The concert of the year? We are waiting for it.
Tickets: from 22,50€.
Where: Sala Mon, at 36, Hilarión Eslava Street (Chamberí).
Clan of Xymox + The Nosferatu (November 22nd)
Clan of Xymox have been delving into the darkest of their soul since 1983, traveling the paths of gothic culture and setting the pace for the sounds of gothic rock and post punk that today are the basis and backbone for so many bands.
Tickets: from 32€.
Where: Sala Nazca Live, Orense Street, 24 (Tetuán).
Amistat (November 23)
The Australian twin brother duo arrives from the Antipodes with the perfectly matched voices of Josef and Jan Prasil.
Tickets: from 26€.
Where: La Riviera, on Paseo Bajo. La Riviera, at Paseo Bajo de la Virgen del Puerto, 3A (Arganzuela)
Marc Scibilia (November 23rd)
Marc Scibilia will be touring Spain this fall: from Buffalo to the Guggenheim in Bilbao or the Wagon in Madrid, this being of light raised in Tennessee, will display all his folk talent on stage.
Tickets: from 27€.
Where: Sala Wagon, on the attic floor of Chamartín station (Chamartín).
Turnstile (27th November)
Turnstile are the clear example of how the guitar has returned with force. Defined as hardcore punk, their latest album delves more into the dreaminess of dream punk without leaving the touch of screaming aside, of course. There are only a few seats left in the stands.
Tickets: from 45€.
Where: Palacio Vistalegre, at the Palacio Vistalegre, Utebo Street, 1 (Carabanchel)
Tommy Cash (November 27)
What is Tommy Cash? The milestone he achieved by reaching the third place in the Eurovision Song Contest is just a notch in his incredible career. Contemporary art artist, performer, the universe of Tommy Cash is lax and his tentacles are exciting: from videos with clear social criticism on social networks to appear at fashion events or collaborate with Charli XCX, his is not of this world.
Tickets: from 30€.
Where: Sala Mon, at 36 Hilarión Eslava Street (Chamberí).
Nation of Language (November 27)
Between techno and pop, the New Yorkers Nation of Language live a life they did not live through songs that revisit, with admiration, sounds of the past (from New Order to Ultravox) passing them through this complicated and intricate patina of the present.
Tickets: from 22,50€.
Where: La Riviera, on Paseo Bajo. La Riviera, at Paseo Bajo de la Virgen del Puerto, 3A (Arganzuela)
Monolink (November 30)
How beautiful is this what Monolink does. His compositions are a refuge between Nicolas Jaar and Leonard Cohen. What? Yes, promised.
Tickets: from 31,50€.
Where: La Riviera, on Paseo Bajo. La Riviera, at Paseo Bajo de la Virgen del Puerto, 3A (Arganzuela)
Panic Shack (November 30)
From Cardiff to the Wurlitzer: the Panic Shack are pure rabid punk-rock and with desire. Once again, the return of the guitars is present in a new, very new, brilliant, very brilliant band.
Tickets: from 18€.
Where: Wurlitzer Ballroom, at 12 Tres Cruces Street (Gran Vía).
