Roig Arena Opens in Valencia With 'Bravo, Nino' Inaugural Concert

The privately funded venue backed by Juan Roig projects one million visitors with €150 million in yearly economic impact.

Overview

  • The sold-out tribute gathered a lineup of about twenty performers including David Bisbal, Pablo López, Malú, Marta Sánchez, Miguel Poveda and Víctor Manuel.
  • Eva Ferri sang 'Vuelve' alongside a technology-assisted image of her father, a highlight that drew a standing ovation.
  • Attendance was reported differently by outlets, with figures ranging from roughly 13,000 to 15,600, though concert capacity can reach up to 20,000.
  • The complex was financed with about €400 million from Juan Roig, and organizers forecast one million visitors in the first year and about €150 million in annual impact.
  • The venue now moves into a packed slate of concerts, corporate events and Valencia Basket games, with on-site restaurants already serving visitors in Quatre Carreres.
