Manu Katch

Asturias

Prestoso Fest 2023

12 July

Manu Katché, considered one of the best drummers of our times, presents his latest work The ScOpe live in concert. His unique style impressed Sting and Peter Gabriel. As Peter Gabriel’s preferred drummer, Katché exercised enormous influence over his greatest hit, Sledgehammer, and more recently has been a key part of Gabriel’s live band on his Back to Front World tour. Katché’s lengthy collaboration with Sting is another important aspect of his career and here too his distinct style contributed to Sting’s greatest hit, Englishman in New York.

23 June

Founded on 24 June 1478 and called originally El Real de las Tres Palmas, the city celebrates the anniversary of its birth with great enthusiasm every summer. The programme of outdoor cultural activities and shows in the historic Vegueta quarter is rounded off on St John’s Night, the eve of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria’s birthday, with a fireworks display on Las Canteras beach. The fireworks draw thousands of people and are a major attraction for tourists visiting the city at this time.

Campa de la Magdalena

3 August

Hombres G come to Santander on their Gira 40 años Tour which features forty confirmed concerts in Spain, Latin America and the United States. The band was one of the most successful in Spain in the 1980s, with sell-out gigs. Their songs have been sung along to by fans at countless packed venues such as the now-demolished Vicente Calderón Stadium, the Las Ventas Bullring in Madrid, the Ciudad de México Arena, the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and New York’s City Music Hall. A mass phenomenon throughout their career, they have kept the same line-up during their forty years as a band.
