Yawning Man: the sound of the desert live
On 1 October 2026, 16 Toneladas welcomes Yawning Man, one of the bands that defined desert rock in the 1980s. Hailing from Palm Desert (California), the lineup—featuring Mario Lalli (bass), Gary Arce (guitar), and Bill Stinson (drums)—has spent nearly four decades exploring instrumental soundscapes where psychedelia, groove, and improvisation create hypnotic atmospheres.
Their latest album, Pavement Ends (2023), delves deeper into this introspective style. Tracks like Bomba Negra and Gestapo Pop avoid conventional riffs, instead building long, meditative pieces perfect for immersing yourself in the sound of the desert.
Softsun: local support with Valencian roots
Sharing the stage will be Softsun, a project that bridges classic desert rock with fresh influences. Their presence ensures a night dedicated to instrumental experimentation.
