Porretas

Some bands grow old quietly.Porretas do not....

On 14 February 2026, while the rest of the city fumbles with roses, reservations and overpriced romance, Sala Repvblicca will be hosting something far more honest: 35 years of Porretas, blasted at full volume, with sweat on the walls and choruses shouted by people who learned half their philosophy in front of a stage, beer in hand.

This isn’t nostalgia.This is survival.

Formed in Hortaleza, Madrid, Porretas have spent three and a half decades doing what they’ve always done best: telling the truth loudly, with distortion, humour, rage and heart in equal measure. They’ve never chased trends, never polished the rough edges, never pretended to be anything other than a working-class rock band with stories to tell and zero interest in shutting up.

Thirty-five years later, those stories still hit. Maybe harder.

Because Porretas aren’t about fashion — they’re about life. The shitty jobs. The mates who didn’t make it. The bars that disappeared. The nights that saved you. The jokes you tell to survive the next day. Their songs don’t posture; they walk beside you, pint by pint, riff by riff.

Over the years, Porretas have built a catalogue that reads like a handbook for living on your own terms. Songs that smell of smoke and asphalt, lyrics that laugh in the face of authority without ever losing their humanity.

Tracks like “Si Nos Dejáis”, “Pájaro Negro”, “Manolo Kabezabolo”, “Ahora” or “Y Aún Arde Madrid” aren’t just songs — they’re shared experiences, screamed back at the band by rooms full of people who know every word because those words meant something at the right time.

And that’s the key: Porretas didn’t just soundtrack youth. They aged with their audience, without softening the blows or cleaning up the mess.

Sala Repvblicca is the perfect setting for this celebration. Big enough to contain the chaos, close enough to feel every kick drum in your ribs. Expect a career-spanning set that pulls no punches — old classics, deep cuts, and that unmistakable Porretas energy that turns concerts into collective therapy sessions with guitars.

This is a band that still plays like it matters. No cruise-control rock. No going through the motions. When Porretas step on stage, it’s still now, still urgent, still necessary.

And yes, there will be a special guest band, because Porretas have always understood that rock isn’t a solo act — it’s a family, a scene, a chain of noise passed from one generation to the next.

Celebrating 35 years isn’t about looking back. It’s about proving you’re still here. In a world obsessed with reinvention, Porretas’ greatest rebellion has been consistency. Same attitude. Same fire. Same refusal to be polite. They’ve earned every scar, every chorus, every night like this one.

So on 14 February 2026, forget the clichés. Skip the candlelight. Go where the real love lives — in a room full of people shouting the same lines they’ve been shouting for decades, because some things don’t age, they dig in.

Porretas aren’t celebrating their past.They’re celebrating the fact they’re still standing and Valencia is about to feel every one of those 35 years — loud, proud, and gloriously unfiltered.
