We put an end to the most successful edition in our seven years of history! We can only thank you for these almost two months of uninterrupted music, in the small oasis of the Jardín Botánico at the Complutense University of Madridwhere we have managed to reach 30 sold-outs in the 50 concerts programmed.
More than 70 artists in an eclectic journey that has gone from legends such as Bob Dylan, Nile Rodgers, Chris Isaak, Rubén Blades, Salif Keita or Omara Portuondo to the most outstanding musical phenomena of the last decades such as Placebo, The Lumineers and Joss Stone. A cast completed with big names in singer-songwriters such as Andrés Calamaro, Depedro, Natalia Lafourcade, Luz Casal or Niña Pastori and avant-garde proposals such as Silvana Estrada, Valeria Castro, Moderat or Rodrigo Cuevas. The degree of connection with the public and the environment has been so high that most of the artists have remarked their performance at Noches del Botánico as the most outstanding of the whole tour.
And the fact is that we are more than 150,000 attendees who have enjoyed the benefits of a proposal that is consolidated as a reference within the extensive offer of the national festival scene. Being faithful to our DNA, we set ourselves the goal of going a step further in providing greater comfort to artists, ensuring the most demanding requirements with a renovated stage and sound and lighting equipment that allows us to raise the shows to the highest level of quality.
A requirement that has also been transferred to your needs, substantially improving its comfort and accessibility with the implementation of a new grandstand. new bleachers to the height of the concert series. These advances join our signs of commitment and sustainability, the exhaustive care of each space of the enclosure, prioritizing the maintenance of the garden and the constant cleaning of the recreation areas and toilets.
Since the opening of the gates, we have once again enjoyed those details that are already a trademark of our festival, such as the Mercado del Encanto or the large grassy areas with sun loungers or hammocks, where disconnection from the outside world is a reality.
The icing on the cake, never better said, is our carefully selected gastronomic offer designed for all types of public. A tasty journey from the savory to the sweet where the exquisite pizzas of the Grosso Napoletanopizzas, tacos and nachos from Maweyand the selection of 100% veggie products from Better Balancethe Pulled Pork from Navidul's Pulled Pork and the ice cream craftsmanship of Aconcagua ice cream. In addition to the variety of food trucks and food spaces, a new wine bar has been added.
Noches del Botánico would not be possible without the daily commitment of 250 employees and the close collaboration of the Complutense University of Madrid, which allows us to champion a different concept and philosophy in the culture and entertainment sector. We are already working on the next edition, with the aim of continuing to live music in nature to the fullest during the months of June and July.
