The 24th Seville Flamenco Biennial 2026 has announced an important change just days before the festival begins: the three Noches Únicas originally scheduled at Hotel Triana on 17, 18 and 19 September will now take place at Muelle de la Sal.
The decision responds to strong demand for these performances and will allow a larger audience to attend. Everything else, however, remains unchanged: the same dates, the same times and the same artists. Tickets already purchased also remain valid, with no need to exchange them.
At a glance: the three Noches Únicas due to take place at Hotel Triana are moving to Muelle de la Sal. Mujeres gitanas will be on 17 September, Uvitas negras on the 18th and Andalucía en el tiempo on the 19th, all at 23:00. The line-ups and dates remain unchanged, and tickets already purchased are still valid. Anyone who no longer wishes to attend because of the venue change can request a refund.
| Item | Previously | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Venue | Hotel Triana | Muelle de la Sal |
| Dates | 17, 18 and 19 September | Unchanged |
| Time | 23:00 | Unchanged |
| Artist line-ups | As originally announced | Remain entirely unchanged |
| Tickets purchased | Valid for Hotel Triana | Still valid for Muelle de la Sal |
The change therefore concerns the performance venue, not the artistic content of the three evenings. For anyone who had already organised their schedule around these late-night shows, the main adjustment will be the journey to the new venue.
The news is particularly significant because these performances belong to the Noches Únicas series at the 2026 Biennial, a selection of one-off events defined by their particular combination of artists, repertoires and settings. The festival’s overall programme includes 26 Noches Únicas throughout this edition.
Seville City Council, through its Tourism and Culture Department, and the organisers of the 24th Biennial have explained that the move responds to strong demand for the three performances. The new location will accommodate a larger audience without changing the planned artistic programme.
No specific figure has been announced for the increase in capacity, so the move should not be interpreted as a guarantee of unlimited ticket availability. What matters is that Muelle de la Sal offers greater capacity for these events while allowing each performance to retain its date and time.
The change comes after Hotel Triana had been presented as one of the major returning venues of the 2026 edition. The former communal courtyard building was due to resume its role as a late-night setting four years after its previous appearance at the Biennial.
Public demand has ultimately reshaped that initial plan. All three productions retain their Noches Únicas identity, but move from an intimate residential courtyard to an open space beside the Guadalquivir, in one of central Seville’s most recognisable areas.
The Muelle de la Sal lies on the left bank of the Guadalquivir, beside the Puente de Isabel II and opposite Triana. Historically associated with Seville’s old port, it is now a broad pedestrian area beside the river.
Its location significantly changes the experience originally envisaged for these three nights. Hotel Triana offered the domestic scale of a communal courtyard, with galleries and a very close relationship between stage and audience. Muelle de la Sal, by contrast, places flamenco outdoors, open to Seville’s cityscape and river views.
The location is not new to the Biennial. The area around Muelle de la Sal has previously hosted flamenco activities and celebrations linked to the festival and World Flamenco Day. In 2026 it also features among the Biennial’s official venues.
The site is on Paseo Marqués de Contadero, near Triana Bridge, the Maestranza bullring and Paseo de Cristóbal Colón. For visitors staying in the historic centre, it is easily reached on foot from many of Seville’s main sights.
| Date | Time | Performance | Main artists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thursday 17 September | 23:00 | Mujeres gitanas | Remedios Amaya, Montse Cortés, La Fabi, Josemi Carmona and guest artists |
| Friday 18 September | 23:00 | Uvitas negras | Artists from Los Palacios, El Mistela and guest guitarists |
| Saturday 19 September | 23:00 | Andalucía en el tiempo | Masters from different Andalusian provinces with Antonio Carrión and Eduardo Rebollar |
The first of the three relocated evenings will be Mujeres gitanas, on Thursday 17 September at 23:00. The singing will be in the hands of Remedios Amaya, Montse Cortés and La Fabi, three voices with very different careers and personalities, united by an understanding of flamenco rooted in family experience, transmission and stagecraft.
Guitar accompaniment will be provided by Josemi Carmona and José Serrano. The line-up also includes Israel Suárez «Piraña» on percussion, Álvaro Llanos on bass and Los Cherokee on backing vocals and rhythmic handclapping.
The production grew out of the project La verdad duele and places Gitana women at its centre. The original concept was developed with Hotel Triana’s distinctive character in mind; following the move, the same cast will now perform in the open setting of Muelle de la Sal.
Remedios Amaya also has particularly strong ties to Triana and the recent history of Seville’s flamenco scene. Her appearance alongside Montse Cortés and La Fabi makes this one of the most striking vocal encounters of the Biennial’s second week.
Friday the 18th, again at 23:00, brings Uvitas negras, a performance created to mark the 75th anniversary of the Peña El Pozo de las Penas in Los Palacios y Villafranca.
The evening will bring together several generations of artists from Los Palacios. The line-up includes Itoly de Los Palacios, Juan «El Distinguido», Nene Escalera, Manuel Orta, Miguel Ortega, José Ángel Carmona, Anabel de Vico and Juanelo. Dance will be provided by Juan Manuel «El Mistela», whose return to a Seville stage is one of the production’s main attractions.
The guitarists will be Niño Fraile, Salvador Gutiérrez and Juan Requena. The production is directed by Manuel Curao.
The title recalls the street-vendor song that Manolo Caracol dedicated to the grapes of Los Palacios and provides the thread for an evening focused on the memory of one of the most influential flamenco associations in the Seville area. The complete line-up remains unchanged despite the venue move.
The third event will be Andalucía en el tiempo, on Saturday 19 September at 23:00. The performance explores the regional diversity of flamenco singing through artists associated with different Andalusian provinces.
Taking part will be José Sorroche, from Almería; Paqui Corpas, from Málaga; Jaime «El Parrón», from Granada; Curro Lucena, from Córdoba; Joselete de Linares, from Jaén; El Boquerón, from Seville; Carmen de la Jara, from Cádiz; El Pecas, from Huelva; and Romerito de Jerez.
The guitarists will be Antonio Carrión and Eduardo Rebollar, with Antonio Amaya «Petete» and Emilio Castañeda providing rhythmic handclapping. Manuel Curao also directs this production.
The aim is to bring together voices that preserve styles, local variations and approaches to interpretation associated with different flamenco regions. Some of the performers now appear less frequently on the major circuits, making their gathering one of the programme’s genuinely rare opportunities.
No. The organisers have expressly confirmed that tickets purchased for all three performances remain fully valid at the new location.
This means that anyone who already has a ticket for Mujeres gitanas, Uvitas negras or Andalucía en el tiempo does not need to complete any formalities to enter Muelle de la Sal.
It is nevertheless worth checking any messages sent by the ticketing provider or the Biennial before attending, particularly because the venue has changed. Official information for each performance should take precedence over screenshots, printed listings or programmes downloaded before the announcement.
If you do not yet have a ticket, check availability through the official channels. Our guide to 2026 Biennial tickets, prices and discounts explains where to buy and what precautions to take to avoid resale and unofficial links.
Yes. People who decide not to attend because of the move can request a refund of the amount paid for their tickets.
The organisers have provided this email address for such requests:
taquillaseulen.icas@gmail.com
The box office can also be reached by telephone:
955 472 822
Keep your proof of purchase and use the purchaser details supplied when booking. If you bought through a particular provider, also check any instructions that operator sends.
The venue change does not oblige anyone to request a refund: this is an option for those who would rather not attend the new location. Everyone else can continue to use their original ticket.
The Biennial lists the entrance to Muelle de la Sal at Paseo Marqués de Contadero, s/n. The venue is beside the Guadalquivir, on the stretch between Puente de Isabel II and Torre del Oro.
The organisers list TUSSAM bus routes 3, 21, 40, 41, EA and A2 as public transport options. The nearest metro stations indicated by the Biennial are Puerta de Jerez and Plaza de Cuba.
For many visitors staying in the centre, walking will be one of the simplest options. The quay is very close to the Maestranza bullring, Mercado del Barranco and Triana Bridge. Since these performances start at 23:00, plan the return to your accommodation too, rather than relying on tight connections after the show.
If you are combining one of these late-night events with another Biennial performance, allow enough time between venues. On 17 and 18 September there are earlier shows at Teatro Lope de Vega, while other city venues have performances on the 19th. Actual running times can vary, so it is unwise to plan your journeys to the minute.
The move changes one of the most appealing stories the Biennial had proposed for September 2026. Hotel Triana’s return carried strong symbolic significance: three late-night performances in a former communal courtyard, connecting the programme with Triana’s memory and an intimate way of experiencing flamenco.
High demand has made it necessary to prioritise a space that can welcome more people. The result will be different, but not necessarily any less distinctive. Muelle de la Sal places these three Noches Únicas at the foot of Triana Bridge, with the Guadalquivir as a backdrop, in a setting that is part of Seville’s most recognisable image.
For visitors, the key point is simple: there is no need to reorganise your schedule beyond the change of location. The dates are still 17, 18 and 19 September, all three performances begin at 23:00 and the announced line-ups remain unchanged.
As the change was announced just days before the Biennial begins, we recommend checking the official programme before travelling to the venue. We will also update our Biennial guides as the changes are reflected in each performance’s official listing.
And if you cannot get tickets for these evenings, Seville offers a wide choice of flamenco throughout the festival. Our guide to what to see when Biennial tickets sell out brings together alternatives so you can keep enjoying performances during your stay.
All three Noches Únicas originally scheduled at Hotel Triana are moving: Mujeres gitanas, on 17 September; Uvitas negras, on the 18th; and Andalucía en el tiempo, on the 19th.
Seville City Council and the Biennial organisers have explained that the decision responds to strong demand for these performances. Muelle de la Sal can accommodate a larger audience.
No. All three performances keep their original dates and will begin at 23:00.
Yes. Tickets already purchased remain valid for the same performances at Muelle de la Sal and do not need to be exchanged.

It is beside the Guadalquivir, at the foot of Triana Bridge, on Paseo Marqués de Contadero. It is very close to the Maestranza bullring and Mercado del Barranco.
No. The organisers have confirmed that all artist line-ups remain entirely unchanged. The change affects the venue, not the announced performers.
Yes. Muelle de la Sal is listed among the official venues of the 24th Flamenco Biennial and has its own page on the festival website.
Hotel Triana was set to offer intimacy and a sense of neighbourhood memory. Muelle de la Sal will offer space, scenery and a direct connection with the river. The essentials, in any case, remain: three encounters conceived as Noches Únicas and three line-ups that would be hard to bring together outside the Biennial.
On 17, 18 and 19 September 2026 at 23:00, attention will turn to the banks of the Guadalquivir. For existing ticket holders, no action is needed. For those still looking for seats, increased capacity may create new opportunities, but availability should always be checked through the official channels.
The 24th Seville Flamenco Biennial will take place from 9 September to 3 October 2026. You can find dates, venues and practical recommendations in our complete guide to the 2026 Flamenco Biennial.
In many cities, flamenco tablaos sell out easily, especially on weekends and during peak season. That’s why, if your dates are set, the most important thing is to book online.
Direct recommendation: book online through our website to guarantee your seat and arrive with everything confirmed. If you already have your destination, go straight to your city to see available options and clear recommendations.
