The Roig Arena Auditorium will host «Nino Bravo Rock & Corazón» on 6 March 2027, a tribute that reworks the Valencian singer's repertoire through rock instrumentation, with the backing of his family and tickets already on sale.

Musician Juan Carlos Sotos (vocals and guitar) leads the project, bringing together a band of Valencian players plus guest artists still to be announced. Guitars, bass, drums and keyboards give another dimension to songs that, more than half a century on, still land: «Te quiero, te quiero», «Libre», «Un beso y una flor», «Noelia» and «América, América». The live show also includes video projections of the singer.

The date sits squarely in the Fallas calendar. 6 March comes a week after the Crida on 28 February and before the main festival week, when the marquees are already up (11 to 19 March). Nino Bravo is also the subject of the 2027 municipal falla: a twenty-metre figure by Pere Baenas will preside over the Plaza del Ayuntamiento in March.

Born in Aielo de Malferit in 1944, Luis Manuel Ferri Llopis grew up in Valencia, where he made his debut as Nino Bravo at the Teatro Principal in March 1969. His career lasted barely four years —he died in a road accident on 16 April 1973, aged 28— but it was enough to leave a body of work that has crossed generations and will sound again in 2027 in the city where he grew up.

Tickets for the concert are on sale now on the Roig Arena website, which confirms one of the musical landmarks of the countdown to the Fallas.
