The lineup highlights a broad mix of styles and genres, presenting a festival experience that appeals to a wide audience.
Within the festival, AND Music in the Garden presents a side-stage called #indierockfest, a two-day festival within the festival featuring national and international bands and DJs such as Kakkmaddafakka, Dorian, Siloé, and Diagnóstico Binario.
After the Jardines de Abril concerts, nightly themed parties take place in the pine forest area, delivering after-parties and DJ sets. The 80s Summer Party has two confirmed dates on August 4 and 5.
Guateke’s PartyLa Feria Party unfolds in the classic April fair style, following Raphael’s performance, and leads into a set by Siempre Así. The Summer Night Party caps off the evenings after other artists perform.
Across 14 magical nights, music blends with gastronomy and other art forms to create an atmosphere filled with emotion and wonder.
Interestingly, the festival’s 14 nights offer an eclectic program that transcends generations, embracing a range of musical and artistic expressions.
Madrid’s established talent who has captivated stages since the age of 18
Carlos Goñi, born in 1961 in Madrid, began his music career as a composer and guitarist at 18. After stints with bands like Garaje and Comité Cisne, he pursued a solo path and steered his career with determination.
In January 1989, he formed Revolver and signed with Warner Music Spain. He used Revólver as a stage name for releasing albums.
In 1993, Goñi released the first unplugged album in Spain, Revólver Básico, produced by Mick Glosopp. The release marked a turning point, selling over 250,000 copies and propelling a tour of more than 100 performances.
Revólver has enjoyed a prolific career filled with hits, establishing Goñi as one of Spain’s most emblematic artists. His onstage versatility has allowed him to fill large venues with just a guitar and to back other musicians for high-energy performances, a strength showcased on the A solas tour in 2007.
The new tour Addicted to Euphoria promises excitement for festival-goers. Released during turbulent times, this twelfth studio album signals a bold artistic stance, inviting audiences to view things from a fresh angle without leaning on nostalgia.
Goñi remains the driving force behind Revólver, delivering a concert at Magic Nights filled with new material from the album alongside timeless favorites and memorable melodies.
Key hits like El roce de tu piel, If it’s just love, Inside, Slave of Love, Mi rendición, Calle Mayor, El dorado, San Pedro, and El faro de Lisboa have left a lasting mark on contemporary Spanish music. With sales surpassing 1,500,000 copies, Goñi continues to reinvent himself and craft heartfelt records beyond passing trends.
