ARCHIVED - Rock legend Rod Stewart takes to the stage in Murcia in 2023
The veteran British star will perform in the Plaza de Toros de Murcia
Legendary Da Ya Think I’m Sexy singer Rod Steward has just announced four must-see gigs in Spain next year, and one will take place in Murcia’s Plaza de Toros in July. The promoters have promised that the 77-year-old British crooner will perform all of his greatest hits at what looks set to be one of the concerts of 2023.
Born Roderick David Stewart in Highgate, London in 1945, Rod is one of the most iconic artists to ever emerge from the United Kingdom, with sales of more than 250 million albums and singles worldwide since the beginning of his musical career in the early 1960s when he was a member of The Dimensions.
After doing the rounds with several more bands, the raspy Maggie May singer released his first solo album, An Old Raincoat Won’t Ever Let You Down, in 1969, combining his now-famous flavours of rock, folk, soul and r&b.
During his illustrious career, Rod has released more than 30 studio albums, the latest of which, The Tears of Hercules, hit the stands in 2021. The rock star is iconic in Spain, spawning hundreds of tribute acts up and down the country.
Four unique concerts in Spain
The much-anticipated Murcia show takes place on July 18 at the Plaza de Toros as part of the Murcia On festival. Tickets went on sale on Friday December 30, 2022 through the Ibolele Producciones website.
Rod will also appear on July 12 at the Wizink Center in Madrid, on the 21st at the Starlite Festival in Marbella, Málaga and on the 22nd as part of the Concert Music Festival in Chiclana, Cádiz.
