fito fitipaldis sold out concert gran canaria aullidos tour

Fito Fitipaldis Turns Gran Canaria into a Culinary Rock Feast

A Sonic Feast for 21,000 Fans

Fito Fitipaldis transformed Las Palmas de Gran Canaria into their own ‘Monte de los Aullidos’ last night, delivering a two-hour rock concert that tasted like an instant classic and left the unforgettable aftertaste of a gourmet meal. The 21,000 fans who packed the Anexo del Estadio de Gran Canaria to sold-out capacity were treated to an experience that, like the finest bite, becomes tattooed on the memory, making you start counting the days until the next serving.

A Perfectly Oiled Musical Kitchen

Long before the doors opened, it was clear this would be no ordinary night. The city had to change venues to accommodate the devotion Fito inspires in the islands, and the atmosphere already smelled of a major event. On stage, the band functioned like a perfectly greased kitchen, where each musician is an ingredient measured to the millimetre. Coki Giménez’s drums set a firm, almost cardiac pulse, sustaining a long and demanding setlist, while Boli Climent’s bass drew silent yet essential lines, giving depth and body to each track. Carlos Raya’s guitar was pure sharp velvet: solos without artifice, serving the emotion, capable of igniting the night when needed without stealing the song’s spotlight. Javier Alzola’s saxophone added that veil of nocturnal mist, of a bar that never closes, which turns many of Fito’s pieces into small three-minute films. To all this, the keyboards of Jorge Arribas and Diego Galán on guitars and violin do the most difficult thing: being there always in the background, as elegant as they are essential for everything to flow like the gentle simmer of a great stew.

New Songs and Timeless Anthems

The ‘Aullidos Tour 2025/2026’ springs from ‘El monte de los aullidos’, the eighth studio album by Fito Fitipaldis, where guitars return to the centre of the plate and the band sounds compact, recognisable, and yet renewed. Live, the new songs don’t feel like mere accompaniment but the backbone of the menu: they coexist naturally with the perennial anthems, proving the Fitipaldis universe doesn’t live on nostalgia alone. ‘A Contraluz’ worked as a perfect overture to present that signature mix of rock, melancholy, and bar-top hope. Later, towards the end, titles like ‘Soldadito marinero’, ‘Por la boca vive el pez’, ‘La casa por el tejado’, or ‘Antes de que cuente diez’ turned the venue into an open-air karaoke, where every verse seems part of the island’s sentimental memory.

A Connection Beyond the Stage

What happens between Fito and the Canary Islands long ago ceased to be a simple artist-audience relationship. He knows it, verbalises it, plays with the accent, recalls previous visits, and celebrates that he always feels at home here. The audience returns it with militant loyalty: selling out tickets, adapting venues, turning each visit into a shared ritual. There’s a moment when the concert stops being measured in the number of songs and starts being measured in glances: the band looks at each other, Fito smiles, the audience responds, and you understand that connection cannot be manufactured—it can only be slow-cooked over years.

Over Two Hours of Pure Rock

For the first hour, Fito y Fitipaldis dedicated themselves to singing and playing, one song after another without a break for them or the audience. Then began the winks between the band and the crowd, with a brief technical stop due to someone in the audience feeling unwell, which led Fito himself to halt the concert and send medics to the area—it was just a scare, nothing more. On this tour, the band shows the attending audience a greeting sent from the previous concert; this time it was Cáceres who greeted Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. When Fito asked us Gran Canarians to greet Tenerife, the next stop on the tour, the ‘Pío Pío’ chant echoed louder than any heard in the stadium for years. “When it’s projected, it will be a moment of much laughter in the Tenerife venue, of that I have no doubt,” said Fito.

A Memorable Night, Perfectly Served

The experience of a live show like this closely resembles sitting before a perfect plate: you know it will last a while, but it marks you forever. Fito Fitipaldis construct their concert like a long, balanced menu, with room for electric power, pinching mid-tempos, and encores that function as an emotional dessert. When the lights came on, the audience left the Anexo with the sensation of having tasted one of those bites that stick in the memory: the digestion will be slow, pleasant, and almost immediately you start counting how many days are left until the next concert. Few bands today are capable of sustaining a large-format show with this solvency, this emotion, and this ability to fill venues without losing the soul of a backstreet bar. And that, more than a concert, is confirmation that rock, at least last night in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, is more alive than ever.

It would be remiss to end this review without congratulating Los Muyayos, once again, for the perfect organisation of a concert in the islands. From the first chord, the sound was impeccable, the entry and exit organisation was exemplary, and the number of bars allowed for ordering without crowds. Tonight promises another memorable night for music lovers on the island. If Fito Fitipaldis brought together rock lovers and several generations united in a wonderful atmosphere, today it’s the turn of the new wave of Canarian urban music with the closing party of Lucho and La Pantera’s tour. Yesterday in Tenerife, Quevedo sang with them, raising expectations that at their home show, everyone can sing the instant anthem for all the Canaries, ‘No me mudo ni borracho’. But that will be another story. For now, we leave you with several photos from the Fito Fitipaldis concert, who perform in Tenerife today with another well-deserved sold-out.
