Description

Information

The Alfonso XIII Royal Botanical Garden is pleased to bring back, for the third year in a row, another edition of summer concerts. Evenings and nights at this extraordinary natural setting will be filled with music thanks to numerous international music stars.

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.

This third edition is privileged to welcome such prestigious artists as Elvis Costello, Serrat, Simple Minds, Norah Jones, Kraftwerk, Jeff Beck, Funambulista, Calexico, Pat Metheny, Rufus Wainwright, David Byrne, Phoenix, Farruquito and Miguel Poveda among others.

The festival opens on World Music Day with a concert from Seu Jorge, a Brazillian artist preforming unplugged songs by David Bowie, followed by Elvis Costello & The Imposters. Norah Jones, accompanied by a jazz trio, will have the honor to close the festival on July 29^th.

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.

In just two years, Nights at the Botanical has become a major event among festivals and open-air concerts in Madrid and is regarded as an important festival both nationally and internationally. It has brought together legendary national and international artists combining rock, jazz, soul, pop, singer-songwriters and classical music in an eclectic way with more than 45,000 people attending to watch the stage at University City.
