There are dates that should be marked on the calendar and December 20 is one of them for Pignoise fans. The group has decided to culminate the celebrations for its two decades on stage with Pignoise Day, an event that will take place in the new space The Garage (Autocine Madrid). But beware, there are fewer and fewer tickets left: get yours here.
At dusk, Pignoise Day comes to life: this is a session for over-16s that will last until 1 am and with a concert by the band scheduled for 9 pm. This late-night session, with food trucks and interactive activities, will also feature the band, who will be back on stage, followed by several guest DJs. But beware, those under 18 years old will have to have a signed authorization to access the venue.
The Garage, the new indoor space at Autocine Madrid
Pignoise Day will be held at The Garage, Autocine Madrid’s big bet to deseasonalize its cultural and leisure offer. It is a covered and air-conditioned infrastructure with more than 3,000 square meters, designed to accommodate up to 4,800 people. The Garage has been operating since the end of October and will keep its doors open throughout the winter season, until the beginning of April.
Pignoise, 20 years on stage
Pignoise burst onto the music scene in 2005, formed by Álvaro Benito, former Real Madrid footballer, Héctor Polo (also a footballer) and Pablo Alonso. At the height of power pop, indie and punk rock, the band quickly connected with the public thanks to its catchy melodies. The success of ‘Nada que perder’ ( theme song for the series Los hombres de Paco) marked the beginning of a career that was consolidated with albums such as Anunciado en televisión and Cuestión de gustos. From the latter came ‘Pasar de cuartos’, the song that accompanied the Spanish National Team in the 2008 Eurocup.

The finishing touch to a year of celebrations
Eight studio albums (with a ninth in preparation) and 20 years of career later, Pignoise Day comes to close a 2025 full of celebrations. Earlier this year, the band filled the Movistar Arena in a concert for their 20th anniversary, surrounded by friends like Loquillo, Hombres G, Marlon or Taburete. This celebration tour passed through several Spanish cities, including Pamplona and Bilbao.
This year also saw the release of a documentary about the band’s singer and ex-football player Álvaro Benito: a story about how an injury opened the doors to music for him.
