Seville is entering one of the most intense weeks of September. The XXIV Bienal de Flamenco continues to fill theatres and historic venues, but we also find international concerts, family-friendly proposals, exhibitions and some alternative events worth discovering.
If you still don't know what to do in Seville from Monday 14 to Sunday 20 September 2026, here is our SevillaLover selection of some of the most interesting plans for the week.
1. Three nights of flamenco at the Real Alcázar
📍 Real Alcázar de Sevilla
📅 Monday 14, Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 September
🕤 9:30 pm
🎟️ Tickets on sale
One of the most special venues of this Bienal is once again the Real Alcázar, which this week hosts three very different proposals.
Monday 14 – Israel Fernández: “De oro y marfil” One of the most recognisable voices of the new generation of flamenco comes to the Alcázar to open the week.
Tuesday 15 – Rancapino Chico: “Pizarra” The singer presents the world premiere of this new show in Seville.
Wednesday 16 – “Xerezanías” Luis el Zambo, Dolores Agujetas, Antonio de la Malena, Manuel Valencia and Las Tatas de Jerez star in a unique night marked by the cante of Jerez.
Three consecutive nights and three ways to approach flamenco in a place that, once night falls, clearly has the advantage.

2. Arcángel presents “La copla del cante”
📍 Teatro Lope de Vega
📅 Thursday 17 September
🕗 20:00 h
🎟️ Tickets on sale
On Thursday another of the standout names of this edition of the Bienal arrives.
Arcángel presents La copla del cante, a proposal that once again connects two worlds that for decades have been much more closely linked than we sometimes remember: flamenco and copla.
It will be a one-off night at the Teatro Lope de Vega.
And for those who want to keep the night going, at 23:00 h the Muelle de la Sal hosts Mujeres Gitanas, with Remedios Amaya, La Fabi, Montse Cortés and Josemi Carmona, accompanied by José Serrano, Piraña, Álvaro Llanos and Los Cherokee.

3. “FLAMINΩICA”: Echo of the Aegean in flamenco
📍 El Camerino – Calle Heliotropo, 4
📅 Friday 18 September
🕤 9:30 pm
🎟️ 18 €
Within the alternative programme that accompanies the Bienal these days, we also find proposals in smaller, closer venues.
On Friday, Antonio Andreu presents “FLAMINΩICA – Eco del Egeo al flamenco”, a dance proposal that is part of Bienal OFF at El Camerino.
An opportunity to experience flamenco from a different perspective and, moreover, to do so practically at the foot of the stage.

If you're looking for a more intimate flamenco plan, away from the big theatres, this is one we would recommend this week.
4. Kitty, Daisy & Lewis come to Seville
📍 Sala Pandora – Calle Gramil, 2
📅 Saturday 19 September
🕘 21:00 h
🚪 Doors open: 20:00 h
🎟️ From 23 €
And we take a short break from all the flamenco.
The London family Kitty, Daisy & Lewis comes to Seville to offer their only concert in Andalusia.
Their music jumps without too many inhibitions between rock & roll, blues, swing, soul, reggae, country and sounds from another era. The three siblings swap instruments and voices during the show, so their live performances tend to be far from predictable.
A great plan for Saturday if you're looking for something completely different from the Bienal.
5. A night to watch the Moon as a family
📍 Reserva Natural Concertada Dehesa de Abajo – La Puebla del Río
📅 Saturday 19 September
🕖 From 19:00 to 21:00 h
🎟️ Free admission
👧 Especially recommended for families with children aged 6-8 and up
For those who want to swap the stages for the stars, Saturday sees the International Observe the Moon Night take place.
Experiencias Positivas is organising an open-air astronomy workshop as part of the international initiative promoted by NASA.
The activity is designed for all audiences and will allow you to learn more about our natural satellite while enjoying one of the most interesting natural spaces around Seville.
It may be one of those simple plans that children remember long after many things that cost ten times as much.

6. Cañizares and the ROSS combine flamenco and symphonic music
📍 Teatro de la Maestranza
📅 Saturday 19 September
🕗 20:00 h
🎟️ Tickets on sale
The Bienal reserves one of its musically most ambitious proposals for Saturday.
The guitarist Cañizares joins the Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla (ROSS) to present Cañizares sinfónico at the Teatro de la Maestranza.
A unique night in which the flamenco guitar and the orchestral language will share the stage within the Bienal's official programme.
An especially interesting option for those who want to discover how far flamenco can go when it leaves its more traditional formats.

7. José Mercé, Sunday at the Teatro de la Maestranza
📍 Teatro de la Maestranza
📅 Sunday 20 September
🕗 20:00 h
🎟️ Tickets on sale
And to close the week we have one of those names that need little introduction.
José Mercé returns to the Bienal with Toquen a rebato, accompanied by the guitars of David de Arahal, José del Tomate and Manuel Cerpa, plus percussion, choirs and palmas.
It will be a one-off night and marks Mercé's return to the Teatro de la Maestranza ten years after his memorable performance at the 2016 Bienal.
A week-ending that will be hard to beat for cante enthusiasts.

8. Last days to discover the Seville of the 70s
📍 Sala Atín Aya – Calle Arguijo, 4
📅 Until Sunday 20 September
🎟️ Free entry
If you're looking for a calmer plan, this week is your last chance to visit “Maquinaciones para un decenio (Años 70, siglo XX)”, the retrospective dedicated to Seville photographer Pive Amador.
The exhibition brings together more than 200 photographs, many of them unpublished, and traces a journey through 1970s Seville, counterculture, music and the profound social changes the city was going through.
Its images also feature some key names from that cultural Seville, linked to artists such as Lole y Manuel, Veneno, Pata Negra, Imán or Silvio.
🕚 Tuesday to Saturday: 11:00–14:00 and 18:00–21:00 h
🕚 Sunday: 11:00–14:00 h
Seville is in Bienal mode
From 14 to 20 September it's hard to escape flamenco, and we're not quite sure why anyone would want to.
The Bienal is now in full swing and this week it takes over some of the city's most special venues: Real Alcázar, Teatro Lope de Vega, Teatro de la Maestranza, Muelle de la Sal, Teatro Alameda, Espacio Turina or the Real Fábrica de Artillería. The programme runs until 3 October.
But we also have British rock & roll, family astronomy, photography, free plans and alternative flamenco proposals such as Flamínica.
So there you have it: from 14 to 20 September, the agenda is pretty serious.
