In short
- The new album will be presented at five concerts between 20 February and 24 April 2027: Valencia, Santiago de Compostela, Barcelona and Mexico City join Madrid, but the Movistar Arena remains the big date.
- The four new dates go on sale today at 11:00, each on a different ticketing platform, and in Madrid the cheapest ticket still costs €38.50 including fees.
- ‘Dejémoslo como estaba’ is out on 4 November: it is the band’s second album, has eleven songs and once again looks back to Ciudad Lineal, the neighbourhood they come from.
- Anyone who can’t make these venues has three confirmed festivals in 2027: SanSan in March, and Primavera Sound and Antorchas in June.
In December 2025, Alcalá Norte announced a concert at the Movistar Arena in Madrid to present a second album that did not yet have a title. Ten months later, the album has a name and a release date, ‘Dejémoslo como estaba’, on 4 November, and the presentation is no longer limited to Madrid: the Ciudad Lineal band are adding Valencia, Santiago de Compostela, Barcelona and Mexico City. Tickets for the new dates are on sale from today, Wednesday 21 October, at 11:00.
Five concerts, from the Movistar Arena to Foro Puebla
These are the dates and venues published on the band’s official website, with the start time listed on each ticket sale:
- Saturday 20 February, Madrid: Movistar Arena, at 20:30.
- Friday 26 February, Valencia: Auditorio del Roig Arena, at 21:00.
- Saturday 6 March, Santiago de Compostela: Sala Capitol. The time has not yet been published.
- Saturday 20 March, Barcelona: Sant Jordi Club, at 21:00.
- Saturday 24 April, Mexico City: Foro Puebla.
Outside Madrid, the tour is not aiming for big arenas. In Valencia, the band play the Auditorio, the smaller-format space at the Roig Arena; in Santiago, Sala Capitol; and in Barcelona they return to the Sant Jordi Club, where they closed the tour for their first album in January 2026. The step up in scale on this run is Madrid, which the band themselves describe as their first time at the Arena, with the new album and their entire back catalogue.
The final date crosses the Atlantic. Alcalá Norte return to Mexico City after playing Vive Latino in 2026, this time with a headline show of their own.
Tickets: today at 11:00 and one ticketing platform per city
The band’s website gathers the purchase links, but each new concert is sold on a different site:
- Valencia: on Notikumi. Prices had not been published before the sale opened.
- Santiago: on Enterticket, from €27.50. Here, under-16s are not admitted.
- Barcelona: on Fever, as part of the Primavera Tours programme. Doors open at 19:30 and under-16s may attend with their mother, father or legal guardian.

The Madrid concert has been on sale since December, and the band’s website links to Fever. Early this morning all three ticket types were still available: early-bird standing at €35, general standing at €39 and seated at €42, plus a 10% booking fee (€3.50, €3.90 and €4.20). Doors open at 19:00 and under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. In both Madrid and Barcelona, purchases on Fever accept the Bono Cultural Joven.

‘Dejémoslo como estaba’: the second album returns to Ciudad Lineal
The album is out on Wednesday 4 November, once again on Balaunka, the Basque label that released their self-titled debut in April 2024. That album won them the best new artist award from the Academia de la Música in 2025. The new one has eleven songs, three of which are already out: ‘El Endemoniao’, ‘Los Llamados Pitagóricos’ and ‘El Hombre Planeta’.
The title comes from Goya. ‘Esto dejémoslo como estaba’ is a drawing from his Album C, and the painter Carle Naide has turned it into an oil painting for the cover: three monks watch as Arturo Soria, the urban planner who conceived the Ciudad Lineal, climbs the monolith of the Alcalá Norte shopping centre, which gives the band their name and logo. The neighbourhood remains at the heart of everything, to the point that one of the songs is called ‘Arturo Soria’.
In 2027, also at SanSan, Primavera Sound and Antorchas
The album presentation sits alongside a 2027 already packed with festivals. The week after the Barcelona concert, Alcalá Norte are on the line-up of SanSan Festival, in Benicàssim, from 25 to 27 March, although it is not yet known which day they play. In June they are billed at Primavera Sound Barcelona, from 2 to 6 June, the same festival whose club series is promoting the Sant Jordi Club date, and at Antorchas, in Albacete, from 17 to 19 June, where they are among the first names alongside Viva Suecia and Iván Ferreiro.
For anyone who can’t make any of the five venues, those are the other 2027 dates already listed in our festival calendar. The nearest one, however, comes before the album: on Saturday 31 October the band replace Ginebras, due to one of their members being on medical leave, at Hallowindie in León, at the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos, with La La Love You and Cariño. The rest of their schedule is on the Alcalá Norte page on ModoFestival.
