La Oreja de Van Gogh

San Sebastián-based electropop, pop and power pop group formed in 1996, returning to the stage with Amaia Montero as lead vocalist on the Tantas cosas que contar Tour, a tribute to their album El viaje de Copperport.

La Oreja de Van Gogh is a Spanish group formed in San Sebastián in 1996. Its music combines electropop, pop and power pop, and its first album, Dile al sol, was released in 1998 on the Epic Records label. With the singles Soñaré and Cuéntame al oído, they reached number one in the Spanish charts, and every album they released reached the top spot. Their success also extended to Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, where they were number one on several occasions.

The Tantas cosas que contar Tour is a tribute to El viaje de Copperport, and the group is performing it as a quartet: Amaia Montero on vocals, Xabi San Martín on keyboards, Álvaro Fuentes on bass and Haritz Garde on drums. Pablo Benegas, founder, guitarist and principal songwriter, is not taking part in this tour, although he remains part of the band. The set list includes songs such as Cuídate, La Playa or Rosas.

The concert takes place at the Movistar Arena, a Madrid venue that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts. The show is aimed at several generations of fans and revives songs that have accompanied many listeners since the late 1990s and early 2000s. Since 2001, the group has received international recognition, including the MTV Europe Music Awards, where it was named best Spanish artist, and the Grammy Latino awards, in the pop category.
