The Noches del Botánico Festival celebrates its sixth edition from 8 June to 31 July 2022 at the Alfonso XIII Royal Botanical Gardens located within Universidad Complutense de Madrid. A series of evening concerts at which national and international artists will perform their latest music and greatest hits in a truly unique setting. Jessie J, Patti Smith, LP, Crowded House, Carlinhos Brown, Herbie Hancock, Diana Krall, Cat Power, and Pat Metheny are some of the artists taking part in this year’s edition of the festival.
