16 Oct Autumn Sounds
The evenings are drawing in, the temperature is softening, the tourists are ebbing away and with them, the local music scene is losing momentum. No more summer super concerts, no more summer scintillate parties and no more world leading Djs performing in a club near you. It’s Autumn…… and it’s the season we love the most.
Despite losing the deep beats, crazy vibes and heat waves of the summer, in the Autumn, the music scene gains quality and much needed variety. In September, on the cusp of the new season, the Guaro Luna Mora festival is celebrated. This year it has featured none other than the famous flamenco-chill group Chambao.
October, along with multiple Halloween-themed parties, also offers an excellent alternative music festival called Monkey Week. Hosted in the stunning city of Seville, the festival provides a stage for independent, emerging bands, runs over 4 days and is extremely popular. Also gives you a great reason to discover Seville while enjoying hours of alternative music. A full pass costs €75 and gives you access to seeing over 100 performances.
November presents two key festivals for the Coast – the first is the International Jazz Festival in Málaga, and the second, rhythm and blues and rock ‘n’ roll festival, Blues at Moonlight held at hotel Sunset Beach Club in Benalmádena.
Now in its 19th edition, the Málaga International Jazz Festival will run from November 8th to the 13th in the beautiful Cervantes Theatre.

Hosted at Hotel Sunset Beach Club in Benalmádena, Blues at Moonlight is an awesome, 4-day rhythm and blues and rock ‘n’ roll festival charged with some of the most energetic and entertaining live music concerts you will experience and an electric atmosphere.
