The Alfonso XIII Royal Botanical Garden celebrates the new cycle of concerts for summer evenings and nights in which a selection of national and international artists will perform to present their latest work and hits live from a unique setting. The Canadian songwriter Loreena McKennitt, leading Celtic music artist, is the first confirmation for the 2019 line-up (she will perform on Saturday, 6 of July).
In June and July this natural setting transforms into a magnificent stage for this unique festival that combines different generations and music styles (jazz, Brazilian, Latin, Flamenco, electronic, rock and pop music). It is an eclectic music festival that has become a go-to venue for music lovers in Madrid.
The last edition in 2018 drew over 70,000 attendees and featured the participation of national and international artists such as Elvis Costello, Simple Minds, Norah Jones, Pat Metheny, Rufus Wainwright and Miguel Poveda.
There are numerous experiences to enjoy along with the music: a street market for those wishing to buy fashion items, accessories and concert merchandize; and when the hunger strikes, the food-trucks will provide gourmet food and drinks.
The Nights at the Botanical Festival is consolidated as a reference within the circuit of open-air festivals and concerts. Bringing together iconic national and international artists, it presents an eclectic proposal in which rock, jazz, soul, pop, songs by songwriters or classical music come together on the stage of the University City.
