Alicante This Weekend: Big Concerts, Retro Fun and Seaside Plans

Retroalacant returns with retro video games, arcade machines, tournaments, workshops, exhibitors and live music. It is a strong pick for travellers who want an easygoing, nostalgic day out with food options on site.

A candlelit tribute concert pairing Coldplay and Imagine Dragons in the atmospheric MARQ museum setting. It is one of the most appealing evening options for visitors looking for a polished music experience in the city.

A rock piano performance featuring songs by Nirvana, AC/DC, Metallica, Coldplay, Radiohead and more. This is a compact live-music option that fits neatly into a weekend itinerary before dinner or nightlife.

A Candlelight programme built around Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in an intimate museum environment. It is a good choice for travellers who want a classical music evening in central Alicante.

A late-night electronic music set by Miss Monique at one of Alicante’s best-known waterfront clubs. This is the clearest nightlife pick for travellers who want a bigger Saturday-night energy after dinner.

Retroalacant continues on Sunday, making it the best family-friendly option of the weekend thanks to games, workshops and a relaxed all-day format. It works well for visitors with children or anyone wanting an easy daytime activity.

A large-scale Pablo López concert at the port gives Sunday a headline live-music option by the sea. It is the most prominent ticketed event for a weekend traveller staying in Alicante.

A Candlelight tribute to Phil Collins in the MARQ museum setting, offering another polished evening concert for visitors. This is a strong alternative if you prefer a more intimate performance than a large arena-style show.

The Al Dani Festival combines workshops, Mediterranean music and a closing concert in a culturally focused programme. It is one of the best choices for travellers interested in local arts and heritage.

A literary and music-oriented festival named for Valencian poet Vicent Andrés Estellés. Its evening timing makes it a good add-on for visitors seeking a more local cultural event.

A day-long boat excursion to the island of Tabarca, one of the best outdoor activities for a weekend in Alicante. It is ideal for travellers who want a scenic sea-and-sun outing rather than an indoor event.

A retro gaming and culture fair with vendors, exhibits and food-truck style refreshments. While not a traditional street market, it offers a lively browsing experience that suits families and casual visitors alike.
