Bilbao resonated today with the rhythm of Zetak. Pello Reparaz's band delivered a brief street performance directly in front of the Provincial Palace of Bizkaia, serving as a prelude to the Mitoaroa III concert, set to take place on June 19 and 20 at San Mamés. The provincial institution had convened the media to provide new information about this significant event, and the Basque group offered a preview of the spectacle that 80,000 people are expected to enjoy.
Anticipation in the heart of Bilbao was palpable long before the first chords of Zetak's morning concert. In front of the Provincial Palace, a diverse crowd of all ages gathered, from children who temporarily swapped their classrooms for the street with their teachers, to devoted fans who swiftly responded to social media calls. Dozens of passersby, surprised by the impromptu setup, also joined, eager not to miss the chance to see Zetak up close in such an unusual setting, transforming Gran Vía into a buzzing hub of contained excitement.
After Mitoaroa I (present) and Mitoaroa II (past), Mitoaroa III will take a new leap: it will be a show looking towards the future, designed to turn San Mamés into the great loudspeaker of Basque culture.
Elixabete Etxanobe, the General Deputy of Bizkaia, and singer Pello Reparaz are responsible for unveiling the details of this musical project, poised to become one of the year's major cultural milestones in Bizkaia. Mitoaroa III will arrive at San Mamés following the “success” of Mitoaroa II, which the Deputation described as “an unprecedented technological revolution that transported us to the 15th century.” As Zetak announced yesterday on their social media, “the very last pitch tickets remain to attend the Cathedral” and experience this immersive spectacle.
