SESH

La Cubierta de Leganés, officially known as La Cubierta Multiusos de Leganés or Plaza de Toros La Cubierta, is a prominent event venue located in Leganés, a municipality in the southern part of Madrid, Spain. Inaugurated in 1997, the venue was initially designed as a modern bullring with a distinctive retractable roof, making it one of the first multi-purpose arenas in Spain capable of hosting events irrespective of weather conditions. Over time, La Cubierta evolved from being primarily a site for bullfighting to a widely recognized concert hall and nightclub, attracting large-scale musical events, sporting competitions, and cultural festivals.

Its architectural innovation and adaptable interior have made it a landmark in the Madrid region, renowned for contributing to the cultural and nightlife scene not just in Leganés but also the broader Madrid metropolitan area. Although the structure and location have remained constant since its opening, La Cubierta has undergone several renovations and updates to improve acoustics, seating, and safety standards, continually reshaping it into a contemporary entertainment hub. The venue’s reputation as a center for nightlife was solidified in the early 2000s, when prominent electronic music events, club nights, and international tours began making regular stops there.

It quickly gained a cultural significance as a meeting ground for different musical communities and generations, bridging the traditional with the modern. The space is celebrated for its eclectic lineup, drawing both global stars and local talent, and its iconic circular design has become synonymous with some of the Madrid area’s most memorable events. Notable artists who have performed at La Cubierta de Leganés include international figures such as David Guetta, Tiësto, Carl Cox, Armin van Buuren, and Paul Kalkbrenner, as well as legendary bands like Maná and The Prodigy.

Among local Spanish acts, the venue has hosted celebrated groups and artists including Estopa, Rosendo, Fangoria, Melendi, Joaquín Sabina, and Vetusta Morla. In addition, it has frequently served as a platform for major Spanish techno and house music festivals, featuring well-known DJs like Óscar Mulero, DJ Nano, Christian Varela, and Paco Osuna.
