Vetusta Morla

Vetusta Morla is an indie rock band formed at a secondary school in the late nineties, returning to the stage in Madrid with its Canciones de Ida tour, featuring new songs and a renewed approach at the Movistar Arena.

The group was formed at the José Luis Sampedro secondary school in the late nineties and took its name from the ancient turtle in La Historia Interminable. In 2000 it recorded its first demo, 13 horas con Lucy, and won first prize at the Rivas-Vaciamadrid State Pop-Rock Contest. Songs such as La Deriva, Copenhague or Sálvese quien pueda are among its best-known tracks, and its concerts have taken it to venues in Spain, Europe and the Americas, as well as to festivals such as Bilbao BBK Live, Santander Music and Low Festival.

Its discography includes Un día en el mundo (2008), Mapas (2011), Los ríos de Alice (2013), La deriva (2014) and Mismo sitio, distinto lugar (2017). MSDL- Canciones dentro de canciones, from 2020, received a nomination at the Latin Grammys in the best packaging design category. In 2021 they released Cable a Tierra, a set of ten songs that explores sounds and folk rhythms from either side of the Atlantic. Their most recent album to date is Figurantes (2024).

This tour marks the band's return to the stage after a break that began in 2024, with new songs and a different approach. Vetusta Morla performs at the Movistar Arena, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in Madrid.
