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 their two decades on stage with Pignoise Day, an event that will take place at The Garage, in Autocine Madrid, and whose tickets are already on sale.
A day with Pignoise for all ages
Pignoise Day is designed so that no one is left out, neither young nor old. The program, which covers 13 hours, is structured in two sessions. The first part of the day, from 12:00h to 17:00h, will be dedicated to families, with a concert by Pignoise, activities and DJs for children, creativity zones and a varied gastronomic offer.
In the late afternoon, Pignoise Day will give way to the session for the over 16s, which will last until 1am. This afternoon 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 of age will have to have a signed authorization to access the venue.
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 the power pop, indie and punk rock craze, the band quickly connected with the public thanks to their 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.
