Grenadian band Lori Meyers decided to remove VIP areas from a recent concert, sparking strong reactions from fans at Wizink Center in Madrid. The decision came as ticketing prices and the availability of premium seats drew widespread discussion on social media, highlighting a long-standing trend in the music industry toward higher-priced experiences for dedicated listeners.
The group announced a return to Wizink Center in Madrid this Wednesday, December 30, to perform in a venue known for its size and acoustics. The show is positioned as a centerpiece of their live program in the Spanish capital and underscores the band’s ongoing commitment to connecting with their national audience through sizeable, memorable performances.
This concert forms part of the promotional tour for Lori Meyers’ seventh and final studio album, Infinite Spaces, a project described by the team as a musical journey that blends expansive soundscapes with intimate moments. It follows the challenges the music industry faced during the Covid-19 pandemic and signals a commitment to sustaining momentum after a difficult period for live music.
Madrid’s Community Sports Palace will host the band five years after their last appearance in the venue, a show that previously captured the energy of their performance with the album Directo en Madrid – Wizink Center. The upcoming event places the venue at the heart of a renewed artistic cycle for Lori Meyers.
Tickets for the new concert are already available on Wegow, a platform known for facilitating access to live music events across Spain. Fans can secure their seats to witness the group’s evolving sound and stage presence as part of a larger nationwide tour.
The lineup features the Granada-based trio Antonio López, Noni on vocals, and Alejandro Méndez on guitar, joined by Alfredo Núñez on drums. The ensemble will be strengthened by a refreshed rhythm section with Miguel de Lucas on bass and Toni Jiménez on guitar, signaling a refreshed energy for upcoming performances.
The band emerged as a key figure in the second wave of Spanish alternative music, following predecessors like Mercromina and Planetas. Lori Meyers began their catalog with the album Viaje de Estudios in 2004, followed by Hostal Pimodán in 2005 and Cronolánea in 2008, laying the groundwork for a dedicated fanbase and a recognizable sound.
Tracks such as Neon lights, A-is it back?, and My truth stand as milestones in a career marked by landmark releases. The group has also explored synth-driven concepts on albums like Cuando el destino nos alcanza in 2010 and Impronta in 2013, which features another of their well-known songs, Getting drunk. These moments underscore the band’s ongoing evolution and ability to blend melody with contemporary textures.
