The Nights at the Botanical Festival will hold its eighth edition from 7 June to 27 July 2024 at the Alfonso XIII Royal Botanical Garden, located at Madrid Complutense University. It is a cycle of concerts for summer evenings and nights in which a selection of national and international artists, such as PJ Harvey, Status Quo, Queens of the Stone Age, Simple Minds, Take That or James Blunt will participate, presenting their latest albums and hits live in a unique environment.
In June and July, this natural space at Madrid Complutense University’s Botanical Garden will be the venue for the multi-faceted festival in which generations and styles (jazz, Latin, flamenco, rock and pop) will come together, making eclecticism its cover letter and becoming a not to be missed musical event for summer nights.
Not only on the musical side, but also in terms of the connection with nature in a unique setting in the city, as the concerts of your favourite artists can become an unforgettable experience to be enjoyed every day of the programme, from 7pm on summer evenings in Madrid Complutense University’s Botanical Garden.
