The festival's closing date is Sunday 2 May, but the first announcement has no concert on that day. It is billed as a ‘programme preview’, so more names may be added.
Premieres and new tours: what each artist is presenting
The Strenes formula is that artists arrive with something new, and the fourteen concerts in the 2027 announcement all fit the bill. Raül Refree and Niño de Elche premiere their second album together, following Cru+es (2025). Els Amics de les Arts present the album they will release in spring 2027, and The Tyets, Svetlana and Ernest Prana also arrive with new material.
Sau premiere ‘Els de Sau en concert’ at the Auditori, the show that launches their tour and coincides with the cinema release of the band's biopic. According to the festival, the original line-up takes the stage — Pep Sala, Ramon Altimir, Carles Oliver ‘Xarli’ and Pep Sánchez — with guitarist Josep Lluís Pérez, of El Último de la Fila, and the voice of Carles Sabater through original recordings. Part of the proceeds from the concert will go to a project at the Hospital Josep Trueta.
Gossos start their comeback tour for the 20th anniversary of ‘Corren’ on the Escales de la Catedral, a tour the festival describes as just 12 concerts in Catalonia in 2027. The following day, Pau Vallvé premieres Hipernormalitat at the same spot. The Teatre Municipal hosts El detector de mentides, the second solo album by Guillem Gisbert, who is also on the Magnífic Fest 2027 line-up in Lleida; Territori, by Miquel Abras; Disco de Cristal, by Ivan Herzog; Les Coses, by Gemma Humet; and Manual per a especialistes, by Socunbohemio.
Los Secretos make their Strenes debut with a new album, their first in six years according to the festival. The Madrid band are also on the Mar de Jávea 2027 line-up.
The venues: from the Escales de la Catedral to La Mirona
Strenes has no single site. The 2027 concerts are spread across four spaces:
- Auditori de Girona: Guillem Gisbert, Els Amics de les Arts, Sau and Los Secretos.
- Teatre Municipal de Girona: Raül Refree and Niño de Elche, Ivan Herzog, Miquel Abras, Socunbohemio, Gemma Humet and Ernest Prana.
- La Mirona, in Salt, on the outskirts of Girona: The Tyets and Svetlana.
- Escales de la Catedral, in the open air: Gossos and Pau Vallvé, each with two shows.
The two shows on the Escales de la Catedral are sold separately, so it is worth choosing your time when you buy.
Tickets: price of each concert
No festival pass has been announced: each concert has its own ticket, bought from each artist's page on the festival website, which links to the Koobin ticketing platform. These are the prices published by the festival:
