Músiques i Art al Botànic

There’s something beautifully defiant about staging a rock’n’roll homage in the middle of a botanical garden—and on April 19, that’s exactly what’s about to happen in Cullera. Músiques i Art al Botànic returns with a day that blends live music, visual art, and good old Valencian gastronomy, headlined by a tribute that cuts straight to the heart: The Modern Olders performing a concert in honour of Rubén González.

Set against the lush backdrop of Botànic Cullera, this isn’t just another gig—it’s a full-day cultural immersion. Doors open at 10:00, easing you in with the exhibition “El Viatge Existencial” by Manu Alarcón, before the energy gradually builds toward the main event. By midday, guitars take over.

The Modern Olders aren’t just playing songs—they’re channeling eras. Expect a set steeped in indie, alt-rock, and classic influences, delivered with the kind of lived-in authenticity that only comes from musicians who know their references and wear them proudly. This tribute to Rubén González promises emotion over nostalgia, grit over gloss—a celebration rather than a reenactment. And because this is Valencia, the experience doesn’t stop at the stage. At 14:30, the crowd shifts gears for a communal paella, turning the event into something closer to a gathering than a concert—equal parts festival, family lunch, and underground happening.

It’s this mix—art, music, food, and atmosphere—that defines Músiques i Art al Botànic. Not oversized, not overproduced—just carefully curated, deeply local, and quietly electric. If you’re looking for a Sunday that feels less like an event and more like a moment, this is where you’ll find it.
