Madrid is gearing up for a punk rock milestone. On Wednesday, October 29, 2025, legendary Swedish hardcore band Refused will take over Sala La Riviera for what promises to be their final show in Spain. Known for their incendiary performances and genre-defining albums, Refused are bringing a night of raw energy and unrelenting punk fury to Barcelona and Madrid.
Refused to Rock Spain One Last Time
With five albums under their belt and a reputation for challenging the status quo, Refused have left an indelible mark on alternative music. Their work is celebrated not only for its ferocity but also for its social consciousness, inspiring generations of fans to think critically and act passionately. The Shape of Punk to Come, in particular, remains a timeless masterpiece, continuing to resonate with listeners more than two decades after its release.
This final Spanish tour is a true celebration of their legacy. Vocalist Dennis Lyxzén, guitarist David Sandström, bassist Magnus Flagge, and drummer Mattias Bärjed will close the chapter of Refused with two exclusive shows, supported by special guests. In Madrid, the night will feature the high-energy punk of Crim, who will set the stage for a marathon performance filled with passion and intensity. Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Viva Belgrado will join them for their equally anticipated show. Together, these bands promise nights that honor the history and spirit of Refused in full.
