Alicante Road Volta returns to the Vincent Street auditorium this Saturday at 7:00 PM, presenting their new project heaven doesn’t wait. The show features songs from what would become their third album and from the previous work En otra piel. The group first debuted six years ago on the same stage with End of Paradise, a project that marked the beginning of their ongoing musical journey.
Originating in late 2014 with musicians rooted in the Alicante scene from the 1990s, Road Volta entered the scene in 2016 with an audio-visual narrative experience they called End of Paradise. Live imagery intertwined with the band’s sound, creating a multimedia performance that critics and fans alike remember for its immersive approach. In 2017 they released their first album, End of Paradise, through PizzaPop Records, a digital release that helped spread their work beyond regional borders. The year 2019 brought a second album in Spanish, a more intricate and mature sound that the band described as a transitional step toward a new direction. It represented growth in composition and style, a prelude to the forthcoming third project. This upcoming concert will showcase tracks that reflect that evolution, with seating limited to the venue’s capacity for an intimate experience.
Walls, a notable name in the local scene, also takes the spotlight this weekend at The One in San Vicente. Tonight, Friday, at 8:30 PM, Walls provides a strong show as the freestyler Ginés Paredes, known for successes such as winning Red Bull in Barcelona and competing with top names in the scene. His debut album Los niños del parque resonated widely, and the current tour continues to draw attention as he traverses the country.
Carolina Durante from Madrid headlines the same theater on Saturday at 8:00 PM, delivering punk-pop energy and a lively live show that has become a hallmark of their performances. The band has earned praise for a bold, direct stage presence and a repertoire that includes songs like cajetan and second, even as they push beyond the “flamboyant band” label they once faced. Their collaboration with artists such as Amaia and Los Planetas helped shape a broader pop-rock identity that appeals across generations. During this period, the group explores new ideas that contribute to a richer live experience, with creative input from each member fueling the evolving sound that audiences now expect.
Silver, renowned for fusing contemporary elements with the textures of 90s big bands, captures attention with a distinct personal sound and eye-catching visual branding. The ensemble’s work has included composing themes for the La Ruta series and contributing to projects like Living room Stereo from Alicante. Fans can catch them this Friday at 10:30 PM, a late-night showcase that emphasizes their knack for blending classic and modern influences in a cohesive whole.
Pedro Corrales, the artist behind La Mancha-inspired folk, country, and rock flavors, brings a compelling solo show across the peninsula to present his debut album I just came to play. His performance, scheduled for Saturday at 10:00 PM, highlights a traveling arc that connects regional traditions with contemporary storytelling, inviting listeners to experience a candid, intimate set that traces personal and collective roots.
