A typical week in May
monday
Mondays in Benidorm are the night the regulars come out. With weekend crowds gone home, the show bars in the Rincón de Loix and along Calle Gerona put on full programmes to a more relaxed audience, so it is easier to get a front table for a big-name tribute.
tuesday
Tuesday is a steady, good-value night. Many bars schedule their resident vocalists and long-running tributes midweek, and the atmosphere is friendly rather than frantic.
wednesday
By Wednesday the week has found its rhythm. Midweek is when many venues book touring tribute acts, so it is often one of the strongest nights for headline shows.
thursday
Thursday kicks off the weekend for many holidaymakers. Stag and hen groups start arriving, the strip gets noticeably busier, and bars put on their bigger acts.
friday
Friday is full-throttle. Every show bar is running, the New Town and the Square are packed, and the late venues go on until dawn.
saturday
Saturday is the biggest night of the week in Benidorm. Every venue is at capacity, many bars run back-to-back acts from early evening, and the Square stays open until breakfast.
sunday
Sundays start slowly with roast dinners and live afternoon music on bar terraces, then build into a surprisingly busy evening. Many venues schedule their favourite resident acts for Sunday night, and it is a popular night with British residents as well as holidaymakers.
