Celtas Cortos

Get ready, Valencia — something very special is coming to Roig Arena on Friday, 14 February 2026! Spain’s beloved rock and folk luminaries Celtas Cortos are bringing their “40 Años Contando Cuentos” anniversary tour to town, and guess what? This landmark show is already officially sold out — no surprise for an event that celebrates not just a concert, but 40 years of musical history.

Celtas Cortos are one of the most cherished names in Spanish music. Formed back in 1986, the band has spent four decades crafting a unique sound that blends folk, rock, and Celtic influences into songs full of heart, rhythm and unforgettable hooks. Over the years, tracks like “20 de abril”, “La senda del tiempo” and “Cuéntame un cuento” have become woven into the soundtrack of multiple generations. To mark this major milestone, the band launched their “40 Años Contando Cuentos” tour — literally “40 Years Telling Stories” — a joyous, celebratory journey through their sprawling catalogue of hits and fan favourites. The Valencia show is poised to be one of the tour’s most memorable stops.

Expect a party-level setlist that spans the band’s entire career. From toe-tapping folk-rock grooves and sing-along anthems to deeper cuts that have defined their sound, this isn’t just a greatest-hits concert — it’s a musical journey through 40 years of life, memory and song. Rumour has it the show will run close to two and a half hours with around 30 songs packed into an immersive performance. On stage, frontman Jesús Cifuentes (vocals & guitar) and long-time collaborators Alberto García (violin & trombone) and Goyo Yeves (sax & whistle) will be backed by a stellar band. With lush arrangements and big-hearted energy, this will be a celebration as much about the fans as it is about the band itself.

This is more than a gig — it’s a love letter to fans who have followed Celtas Cortos for years, decades, or even generations. These four decades have seen the band evolve, experiment, and stay true to their roots in a way that few others manage. Now they’re hitting the stage with a show designed to make everyone dance, sing and laugh together — the best way to mark an epic 40 years on the road. And yes — with tickets sold out well in advance, it’s clear Valencia knows this isn’t just another concert: it’s an unmissable musical milestone!
