Spanish rock band sell 150k tickets in two hours

Fito & Fitipaldis have announced a slate of new dates after selling more than 150,000 tickets in Spain for their Aullidos Tour in just two hours.

Fronted by singer Fito Cabrales, the Spanish rock band formed in 1998 and are currently writing their eighth studio album. The onsale, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday (29 April), was pushed back by 24 hours due to the power blackout that hit the Iberian Peninsula on Monday.

Their first tour in two and a half years will visit 28 cities, beginning at Santander’s 10,000-cap Palacio de Deportes on 21 November. Presented by Live Nation Spain, it will continue through A Coruña, Santiago de Compostela, Zaragoza, Iruña-Pamplona, Gijón, Madrid, Bilbao, Barcelona, Valencia, Salamanca, Logrono, Granada and Murcia.

The run will also include stops in Alicante, Ciudad Real, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Seville, Mallorca, Córdoba, Cáceres, Castellón, Albacete, Ponferrada, Valladolid, Cádiz and Fuengirola.
