The American alternative metal band Godsmack will hold their first concert in Spain on August 9 at La Riviera (Madrid). After three decades of career, the band led by Sully Erna will perform in an intimate format for a few thousand attendees.

On August 9, 2026, La Riviera in Madrid will be the stage for Godsmack's first concert in Spain. The American band, which has never performed in the country before, arrives after 30 years of career with anthems like 'I Stand Alone' and 'Voodoo'.

Tickets, priced at 48 euros plus management fees, are already on sale through Ticketgate. The limited capacity of the Madrid venue will allow for an exceptional closeness with the band, something unusual for a group of their calibre.

A historic debut in Madrid

Godsmack has sold millions of records and achieved three number one albums on the Billboard chart. However, Spain had been a pending subject until now. The concert at La Riviera will be the first of two they will offer in the country, as they will perform at Razzmatazz 1 (Barcelona) on August 11.

The Madrid event will feature the participation of the Swedish band Thundermother as the opening act. Meanwhile, the Barcelona concert will be entirely by Godsmack, with no guest band.

A repertoire of classics and new energy

The band, led by Sully Erna, has focused their energy on the stage after releasing their latest album 'Lighting Up The Sky'. The setlist will include hits like 'Awake', 'Keep Away', and 'Bulletproof', as well as tracks from their more recent discography.

For Madrid fans, this is a unique opportunity to see one of the most influential bands in alternative metal in a reduced format. La Riviera, with a capacity of about 2,500 people, guarantees an intense and barrier-free experience.

Tickets and recommendations for the concert

Tickets can be purchased on the Ticketgate website. It is recommended to buy them in advance, as the capacity is limited and high demand is expected. The organization is managed by Z! On Tour, in collaboration with the City Council of Zamora and the Zamora Provincial Council.

The concert will start at 20:00, with Thundermother performing as an appetizer. Attendees can look forward to an evening that promises to be historic for metal in Madrid.
