Amaia Montero returned to La Oreja de Van Gogh in Barcelona this November 2026, performing at the Palau Sant Jordi during a tour that sparked widespread public debate and scrutiny.
Palau Sant Jordi Concerts and Setlist Highlights
The band returned to the Catalan capital for four dates across November 2026, with the opening shows beginning on November 6 and 7, followed by dates on November 26 and 27. Doors opened at 19:00 hours before performances started at 21:00 hours at the venue located on Passeig Olímpic, 5-7, in Montjuïc, with alternative access available via metro lines L1 or L3 to Plaça Espanya and the 150 bus line.
Tickets for the initial dates sold out, while remaining seats and Pre-Party experiences reached up to 300 euros. The concerts drew an audience of 17,000 people, including attendees so young they had not even been born when the group formed in 1996.
Montero took the stage elevated on a platform to perform enduring hits including Rosas, La playa, Muñeca de trapo, and 20 de enero, alongside a surprise performance of the track Boig per tu. The lineup on stage featured founding members Xabi San Martín, Álvaro Fuentes, and Haritz Garde, joined by Imanol Goikoetxea in place of guitarist Pablo Benegas.
During the performance, Montero addressed the attendees directly, stating that the gathering felt like butterflies in the stomach.

She also prompted the crowd to illuminate the arena during a ballad, noting “Habéis tardado cero coma” and telling the audience “Esto es espectacular, como vosotros”.
Vocal Delivery and Stage Incidents Under Scrutiny
The return to the stage has drawn mixed technical assessments alongside intense digital commentary. Reviewers said that Montero occasionally struggled with timing and pitch, modifying original melodies and durations, while observers pointed out that music was played loudly to mask vocal flaws.
During the first weekend of shows, Montero lost her balance while jumping on an elevated platform and fell to the stage floor, laughing afterward before quickly getting back up and resuming the rhythm of the song in a performance lasting nearly two hours.
Clips of the fall circulated widely online, prompting satirical parodies on social media. Among them, Mexican users employed artificial intelligence tools to recreate the moment using the actress María Antonieta de las Nieves characterized as La Chilindrina.
Industry Figures Denounce Online Ridicule of Amaia Montero
The widespread sharing of edited clips and critical commentary drew pushback from figures within the entertainment industry and the band’s supporters. Actor José Lamuño attended the Barcelona performance and denounced the online reaction, noting that thousands of fans were enjoying the concert and celebrating complicated notes.
I think we have all seen many videos ridiculing Amaia Montero, once again from my point of view with cruelty and without a shred of empathy for what she might feel when seeing or reading those comments

Montero acknowledged the toll of the public scrutiny after interacting with a supportive post on Instagram, responding to a user by stating, “Muchas gracias, estoy sufriendo mucho”, which prompted over 200 supportive replies from fans.
In an interview with Telediario, Martínez called for an end to digital bullying against her former group, emphasizing that the 30-year legacy of the band deserves respect.
I think that violence on social networks is something very deeply rooted, we have gotten used to it and I think that is a mistake, we cannot get used to it. Starting from that basis, I think what is happening is terrible and, well, what I’m telling you is that it is not good for anyone
