As part of Vitoria-Gasteiz's La Blanca festivities, the Plaza del Machete is set to become a hub for alternative music, bringing together four prominent Basque groups. LA TXAMA, Olaia Inziarte, PIL.T, and SUA will perform concerts from August 5th to 8th, starting at 11:00 PM, enriching the city's festive atmosphere.
Regarding the lineup, LA TXAMA will kick off the series on August 5th. This group, comprising members from Chill Mafia, Skakeitan, and Esne Beltza, blends corridos and rancheras with modern electronic beats, promising a groundbreaking and transgressive style. The following day, August 6th, Olaia Inziarte, one of the most promising young voices in the Basque scene, will take the stage. After opening for Izaro on her previous tour, this will be her only open concert in major cities this summer.
On August 7th, it will be the turn of PIL.T, the band from Mungia. Formed in the early 90s, this alternative metal group returns with power, melody, and eclecticism after several hiatuses and lineup changes. Finally, on August 8th, SUA will close the cycle. The indie alternative rock band from Maruri (Bizkaia) will present their third album, Bide Ilunek Argitzen Zuten Dena, featuring a more rock-oriented sound and intense tracks. SUA has established itself as a reference band with female vocals, captivating audiences in countries such as Germany, Japan, and South Korea.
“"They always bring a less commercial, more alternative, groundbreaking, and of course, Basque style, and I am sure that once again this year, this square will be full."
According to Sonia Díaz de Corcuera, Councillor for Culture, the Machete concerts reinforce Vitoria-Gasteiz's musical offering during the festivities, providing a less commercial, more alternative, and Basque style, and she is confident that the square will once again be filled with people.
