Hillbilly Moon Explosion in Valencia
On 2 October 2026, 16 Toneladas will host Hillbilly Moon Explosion, the Swiss band that has been blending rockabilly, jump blues, and beat with live energy since 1998. The concert is part of the eleventh edition of the Back to the Roots cycle, dedicated to classic rock sounds and their offshoots. The opening act will be The Pickin’ Boppers, another group specialising in the genre.
The event is scheduled to start at 23:00, though the venue recommends arriving early to avoid queues. Tickets are available in two formats: €18 (general) and €22 (VIP), with no details provided on the differences between them. There is no age restriction, but the venue—with over 20 years in Valencia’s music scene—caters to an adult audience.
