The Charlatans

The Charlatans delivered a standout performance at Visor Fest 2024 in Murcia, captivating attendees with a dynamic set that celebrated their rich musical legacy. Headlining the first night at the Espacio Nueva Condomina, the band, led by the ever-charismatic Tim Burgess, transformed the venue into a vibrant homage to the Madchester era.

From the opening chords of “Then,” the band set an electrifying tone, with the Hammond organ’s fiery riffs igniting the crowd’s enthusiasm. Their setlist was a well-curated journey through their discography, featuring classics like “Weirdo,” “North Country Boy,” and the anthemic “One to Another.” Burgess’s engaging stage presence and the band’s tight musicianship kept the energy levels high throughout the performance. 

The concert culminated with “Sproston Green,” a fan favorite that showcased the band’s ability to blend psychedelic undertones with infectious rhythms. The audience’s response was overwhelmingly positive, with many dancing fervently, embodying the festival’s spirit of musical celebration. 

Visor Fest 2024 maintained its reputation for offering full-length performances without overlapping sets, allowing attendees to fully immerse themselves in each act. The Charlatans’ performance stood out as a highlight, demonstrating their enduring appeal and the timelessness of their music.
