Valencia Rocks!

Valencia’s live-music story is getting the spotlight it deserves—and it’s coming at you in full-frame fury. Valencia Rocks!, the new exhibition from British-born, Valencia-based photographer Rhyan Paul, is a love letter to the Valencian Communities sweat-soaked gigs and underground scenes. With 25 years of chasing amps and adrenaline across Europe, Paul turns every print into a ringing chord of pure rock memory.

Forty arresting images pull you straight to the barricade—Simple Minds mid-anthem, Marky Ramone pounding the kit, Aitana glowing under stage lights, plus Europe, Def Con Dos, Chrissie Hynde, Powerwolf, Arde Bogotá, Hanabie, Seguridad Social, Lendakaris Muertos, Búhos, and a whole roster of hometown heroes. A multimedia presentation floods the gallery with sound and motion, so you don’t just see the music—you feel it.

Where to Catch It:

Cullera Botanical Gardens – Opening night Sept 21 with live sets by Juan Pablo Mazzola and Llobarros, followed by a communal paella feast. Runs through Oct 19.

Valencia Airport – Oct 23 – Nov 26, greeting locals and jet-setters alike.

Online – Full virtual gallery coming soon at rhyanpaul.com.

Limited-edition prints are on sale, with part of every purchase benefiting Save the Children España—proof that rock can still save the world.

Backing the whole blowout includes Rock Bottom Magazine, White Camino, The Music Mole, Exile Magazine, and a who’s-who of cultural heavyweights.

Whether you’re a gig rat, a shutterbug, or just someone who believes a great riff can change a night, Valencia Rocks! is a front-row ticket to the city’s loudest, proudest soundtrack. Check out: Rhyan Paul
