The Cat Empire Opens Roig Arena’s 2,000-Seat Auditorio in València

The new mid-size room targets a long-standing gap in the city’s concert infrastructure.

Overview

  • The Australian band headlined the first public show in the new 2,000-capacity room, with attendance reported just short of a full house.
  • Reviewers noted clear acoustics and well‑timed lighting, saying the venue passed its technical trial by fire.
  • Frontman Felix Riebl said it was an honor to be the first act to perform in the Auditorio.
  • The set blended jazz, funk, Latin and flamenco influences and included songs from the new release Bird in Paradise.
  • The Auditorio’s debut comes after the main Roig Arena hall opened in early September, which is handling large concerts and will host Valencia Basket home games.
