Tribute Acts in Benidorm This Week

Why Benidorm is the tribute act capital of Europe

No other resort on the Spanish coast — arguably no other resort in Europe — puts on as many tribute acts in a single week as Benidorm. Every night across the Old Town squares, the Levante seafront, the Rincón de Loix and the British strip, hundreds of singers, duos and full tribute bands take to small stages and run sets from 7pm until well past midnight. For British holidaymakers it's part of the appeal: the chance to watch a Queen, ABBA, Tina Turner or Rod Stewart tribute most nights of your stay, in the sunshine, with a cold drink in hand and no entry fee at the door.

This page brings together every tribute act in Benidorm this week into one rolling seven-day guide. Whether you're flying out tomorrow or planning a trip a few months ahead, the day buttons below let you jump straight to the day you'll be in town and see exactly who is performing, where and at what time. Listings are updated every single day from the venues' own line-ups, so the schedule you see is the schedule you'll find when you walk in.

What kind of tribute acts can I expect this week?

The variety is part of what makes a week in Benidorm so easy to fill. On a typical seven days you'll find tributes to almost every major artist of the last fifty years — ABBA, Queen, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston are practically nightly fixtures. Alongside the classics, expect modern tribute shows for Adele, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Olly Murs, Pitbull, Bruno Mars, Take That, Westlife and the boyband era.

You'll also find themed tribute nights — Motown evenings, rock 'n' roll specials, country and Irish nights, soul revues and 80s vs 90s mash-ups. Bigger venues run full cabaret-style productions with costume changes, backing dancers and tribute medleys; smaller bars stick to a single-artist tribute followed by a party set so the dance floor stays busy until closing.

Where to find tribute acts in Benidorm this week

The tribute scene is concentrated in three main areas of Benidorm. The Rincón de Loix — the famous British strip — runs the highest volume of tribute nights, with venues like Talk of the Coast, Morgan Tavern, The Beachcomber, Sinatra's Bar and The Royal Arrow programming a different headline act almost every evening. The Old Town leans more towards live singers, Spanish guitar duos and intimate tribute sets you can catch from a café terrace. The Levante seafront sits somewhere between the two, with seafront bars running early-evening tributes that work well for families and a more relaxed dinner-and-show vibe.

For a proper sit-down spectacle, Benidorm Palace runs full-scale productions most nights of the week with tribute medleys, Vegas-style choreography and a sit-down meal. Tickets are required for the Palace; everywhere else listed on this page is free walk-in entry.

How much do tribute acts cost in Benidorm?

Almost every tribute act in a Benidorm bar is free to watch. There is no door fee, no minimum spend and no booking system — you simply walk in, find a seat or a spot at the bar and order a drink. A pint of beer typically costs €2.50 to €4 and a spirit-and-mixer €5 to €7, depending on the venue and the time of night. Cocktails sit around €6 to €9. The artists are paid by the venue, not by the audience, so there's no obligation to do anything more than turn up and enjoy the show.

Ticketed productions like Benidorm Palace usually charge between €40 and €60 per person depending on whether you include the dinner package. For everything else on this page — every tribute act, live singer, cabaret bar and DJ night — the price is the price of your drinks.

Tribute act start times across the week

Benidorm runs on a slightly later schedule than the UK. The earliest tribute sets in family bars start around 7pm, but most headline acts are scheduled for 9pm or 10pm, with smaller venues continuing right through to 1am or 2am at weekends. If you're travelling with children, aim for the earlier slots — the same venues that programme adult-only tribute parties later in the night often run family-friendly classics before 9pm.

Every show in the listings below shows its exact local Spanish start time — Spain runs one hour ahead of the UK, so a 9pm Benidorm show is 8pm UK time. Click any show to see the full venue page with address, map and direct phone number.

Planning a week of tribute nights — a quick guide

• Arrive at least 30 minutes before the headline act to get a seat, especially Friday and Saturday.
• Most bars accept card payments, but smaller venues still prefer cash — bring a small float.
• Spanish licensing allows drinks outside on terraces; many shows are visible from the street.
• Wednesday and Thursday tend to be the quietest nights, with the friendliest prices and easiest seating.
• Look out for "double-header" nights where two different tributes share the same venue across the evening.
• If you're chasing a specific act — Adele, Queen, Michael Jackson — use the filter buttons below the day selector.

How this list stays accurate

Every tribute act on this page is pulled from the venues' own published line-ups and refreshed every single day. Cancellations, swaps and last-minute additions happen — Benidorm runs on holiday time — but we keep the schedule as close to the venues' own posters as we can. If a show is missing or has moved, the change usually appears within hours, so it's always worth re-checking this page on the morning of the show you want to see.

If you only have time for one tribute night, our pick for any given week is whichever ABBA, Queen or Tina Turner tribute is playing the busiest Rincón venue on a Friday or Saturday — that's where you'll find the loudest singalongs, the fullest dance floor and the most authentically "Benidorm" night out.
