Live jazz

Music to your ears

Madrid is music. From classical concerts offered by the Teatro Real year after year (Plaza Isabel II, more commonly known as Plaza de Ópera) to the most alternative and avant-garde trends of in Malasaña, you will find a massive offering of live music. We will reveal to you some of the spots which will thrill you with their performances. Firstly, La Coquette: for many years this has been a blues and soul music institution in Madrid. Located on calle Hileras, 14, next to calle Arenal, it has nightly performances of American music. It's the ideal place to drink a beer while enjoying the concert. A few streets away on the Plaza de Santo Domingo is Soul Station. This club is open from Tuesday to Sunday and every day is dedicated to one particular style of music: soul, jazz, blues, rock&roll... It is customary to enter without asking as, if you're a fan of good music, you're bound to enjoy it. Finally, Café Central. It is one of the city's live music temples. All of Spain's top artists have performed here during their early days and you can normally find big names on the national scene giving small incognito gigs.
