47º Premios Rock Villa de Madrid

A rock, pop and indie competition that aims to introduce little-known groups. Its three winners from the 47th edition perform in concert at the Jardín de las Vistillas in Madrid, as part of the programme of the Fiestas de San Isidro.

The competition accepts entries of any musical style and serves as a platform for independent music in Spain. Its call for entries has served as a starting point for numerous projects that went on to achieve established careers, among them Alaska with Kaka de Luxe, Paraíso, Obús, Los Nikis, Glutamato Ye-yé, Derribos Arias, La Frontera, Los Enemigos, La Maravillosa Orquesta del Alcohol and Biznaga.

In this edition, the concert brings together the three winning groups, who will perform at the Jardín de las Vistillas. In the previous edition, the first prize went to Dear Joanne, the second to Jike and the third to Dura Calá. La Sociedad de Artistas, Intérpretes y Ejecutantes collaborates with the competition, and Radio 3 broadcasts the performances of the five finalists.

The Jardín de las Vistillas is an open-air green space in the capital, and the awards ceremony is part of the programme of the Fiestas de San Isidro. It is an event designed to follow emerging groups from the Madrid and Spanish scene.
