Catupecu Machu at Sala Marearock, Alicante: Wednesday 2 December 2026

The short version

Catupecu Machu play Sala Marearock in Alicante on Wednesday 2 December 2026. It's a rock show, the listing gives a 9pm start, and tickets start at 38.99 euros. The venue's address on the listing is Calle del Comercio 10, Alicante.

That's the fact sheet. The rest of this guide is who the band are, where this gig sits in their Spanish run, and how to do a midweek show in Alicante without regretting it on Thursday morning.

Who Catupecu Machu are

Catupecu Machu are an Argentine rock band. They formed in 1995 and their first album, Dale!, came out in 1997. They came back to live shows in 2022 with a new line-up led by Fernando Ruiz Díaz, with Abril Sosa back in the band alongside Charlie Noguera and Julián Gondell, both from Vanthra.

The comeback has been a tribute to Gabriel Ruiz Díaz, an original member of the band who died in 2021. Expect the set to run through part of the back catalogue rather than one new record.

If you're an Argentine or Latin American expat on the Costa Blanca, you already know whether you're going. If you're not, and you like loud guitar music, this is a cheap way to see a band with three decades behind them. Everything above comes from the La Ganzúa listing, which is the only source we're using here.

Date, time and tickets

• When: Wednesday 2 December 2026.
• Time: the listing says 9pm. It also pencils in an 11pm finish, so it's not an all-nighter.
• Where: Sala Marearock, Calle del Comercio 10, Alicante.
• Price: from 38.99 euros.
• Genre: rock.

From means that's the cheapest ticket. We don't have the full price list, so open the listing before you buy. La Ganzúa doesn't sell tickets itself. It says sales go through Ticketmaster, El Corte Inglés, Entradas.com and Fever, and it asks you to confirm the details on whichever one you buy from. Do that. Dates and times can shift, and a Wednesday gig is easy to get wrong.

It's a Wednesday, so plan it like one

A 9pm start on a weeknight is a gift. You can finish work, eat, get there for the start and still be in bed at a sensible hour. The flip side is the way home. Sort it before you go out rather than at the door at 11pm.

If you're based in Alicante centro, a walk or a taxi is fine depending on where you live. Put Calle del Comercio 10 into your maps app before you leave rather than hunting for the venue name on the night. We haven't been given TRAM or parking details for the venue, so we're not going to guess. Give yourself twenty minutes more than you think you need.

Coming from Benidorm, Torrevieja or up the coast on a weeknight? Book the taxi back before you go out, or share a car and nominate a driver. Or stay in the city and treat Thursday as a lazy one.

What to bring

Earplugs. A rock show in a sala is loud, and filtered plugs cost less than a round. A jacket, because early December nights in Alicante are not summer nights and you'll be queuing outside before you're sweating inside. Your card and a bit of cash, since we don't know the venue's payment setup. ID, because the listing doesn't state an age policy and we're not going to assume one for you.

Where this gig sits in the tour

Alicante is one stop on a short Spanish run. According to the listing, the dates are:

• Friday 27 November 2026: Madrid, Sala Mon Live
• Saturday 28 November 2026: Barcelona, Sala Razzmatazz 2
• Tuesday 1 December 2026: Palma de Mallorca, Sala Es Gremi
• Wednesday 2 December 2026: Alicante, Sala Marearock
• Friday 4 December 2026: Valencia, Sala Rock City
• Saturday 5 December 2026: Málaga, Sala La Trinchera

So if Wednesday doesn't work, Valencia on the Friday is the nearest alternative. But a club show in your own city on a weeknight is the better night out, and you'll sleep in your own bed.

Make a night of it

Eat first. A 9pm start means an early dinner by Spanish standards, so pick somewhere that'll serve you at 7pm without a fuss. Our restaurants and cafes listings are a decent place to start. After the show, if an 11pm finish feels too polite, our bars and nightlife section has the late options.

Want more live music around the same time? Raimundo Amador plays Sala The One in San Vicente on Friday 27 November, and Sienna are at Sala Stereo in Alicante on Saturday 28 November. Both are the weekend before this one. Sala Marearock itself also has Desolation Metal Days Festival 2026 coming up if you want a heavier night at the same venue. And our November gigs round-up covers the rest of the month.

Honest take

38.99 euros is a fair price for a touring band with three decades behind them, in a club where you'll actually see them. The midweek slot is the only real drawback, and for a lot of people it's a plus: no weekend crowds, no fighting for a taxi at 3am. If you grew up with this band, you're going. If you didn't, it's a low-risk way to spend a Wednesday night in Alicante with some proper rock.

One nudge: buy through the official platforms the listing points to, and check the date and start time there before you commit. We only print what we can verify, and the listing itself says the details can change.
