The Best Concert Venues In Madrid

Madrid is gaining recognition as a destination to hear live music. Offering a variety of styles such as flamenco, jazz, rock and pop, you can always find somewhere to dance and listen to live tunes. Here’s some of the best venues in Madrid for concerts.

1. Galileo Galilei

Concert Hall

This intimate theatre/concert venue is perfect for all types of events like flamenco, dance shows, magic shows and of course, concerts. The main room at Galileo Galilei, which is just over 1,000 square meters, has a small stage, plenty of chairs and tables and a bar. The space is also decorated with artwork and photography from local artists.

2. El Junco

This nightclub venue is all about jazz. With live music almost daily, El Junco focuses on bringing the best jazz acts, as well as other styles of music, into their dark and cosy venue. There’s also jam sessions, DJ nights and more.

3. WiZink Center

One of Madrid’s biggest venues to hear music (and see sporting events and much more), the WiZink center can host about 15,500 people for concerts. With huge acts playing there like Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Ricky Martin and Metallica, it’s a good job this place is huge.
