The Flamin’ Groovies: Five Decades of Uncompromising Rock
On 3 September 2026, 16 Toneladas will host The Flamin’ Groovies, one of the most influential and enduring rock bands. Founded in San Francisco in 1966, they’ve navigated decades of musical trends without bending to fashion, becoming a benchmark for classic rock, power pop, and garage. Their leader, Cyril Jordan, describes the current lineup—featuring Tony Sales (drums), Atom Ellis (bass), Sean Fitzsimmons, and Miki Rogulj (guitars)—as the best in their history.
A Journey Through Their Discography
The concert will revisit two key phases of the band:
- The raw, energetic rock of Teenage Head (1971), influenced by rockabilly, the Rolling Stones, and the Yardbirds.
- The melodic power pop of the late 70s, shaped by the influence of The Beatles and The Byrds, and captured in three albums released by Sire Records.
Highlights will include ‘Shake Some Action’, ‘Slow Death’, and ‘Teenage Head’, songs that have turned the band into a cult favorite for lovers of authentic rock.
Practical Details
- Price: from €22 (up to €25 depending on seating).
- Venue: 16 Toneladas (Ricardo Micó, 3, Valencia). The start time and duration of the concert have not been confirmed.
