The Granada indie rock collective Mutant Children has announced an imminent farewell that will unfold in 2024, a year that marks the group’s 30th anniversary. The exit will be marked by two closing shows in Spain, one in Madrid and another in Granada, as they bring a long chapter to a close.
The Madrid finale is scheduled for November 2, followed by a Granada performance on November 23 at the CajaGranada Theatre.
In a public statement shared on X, the band expressed immense gratitude for the journey and the unwavering support from their fans. They reflected on three decades of music, describing the path as a miracle and a source of lasting happiness. The members thanked their audience for helping them reach this milestone and for sharing a lifetime on the road, on stage, and in the studio.
Mutant Children acknowledged that they never anticipated reaching thirty years together and that this decision to disband comes after a period of reflection about their future on stage. They spoke about the deep bond formed through composing, recording, touring, and performing, and recalled the many moments of laughter, disagreement, and celebration that defined their career. The group highlighted that saying goodbye will be tough, but they believe they have expressed everything they needed to say through their music.
They also noted that time marches on and the baton must be passed to a new generation. The band’s members described this transition as a natural law of life, a point at which endurance gives way to renewal. Although the two 2024 concerts in Madrid and Granada will close the chapter, the ensemble hopes to leave a lasting legacy that resonates with fans beyond the final notes.
With their farewell, Mutant Children intend to give back a portion of the love they have received, offering performances that celebrate, rest, and gratitude earned over years of devotion to their craft. The message from the band emphasised that the end of one era simply clears space for the next—an opportunity to appreciate the journey and friends who accompanied them along the way. They concluded by inviting listeners to cherish the music and the shared memories that defined an era of the indie rock scene in Spain. (Source: Granada News)
