Rodrigo y Gabriela

On 23 May 2026 at Royal Festival Hall in London, Rodrigo y Gabriela bring their two‑guitar conversation to the stage. Formed in Mexico City in the mid‑1990s, Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero traded a metal background for acoustic nylon strings and shaped an instrumental language where flamenco‑leaning rhythms, Latin pulses and a rock backbone meet. Live, Rodrigo’s melodic lines lock with Gabriela’s percussive right hand — rasgueado, palm hits, muted slaps — turning the guitars into both lead voice and rhythm section.

The set draws across their catalogue, from the early re-Foc and their self‑titled breakthrough to 11:11, Area 52, 9 Dead Alive, Mettavolution and In Between Thoughts... A New World, revisited with the looseness and immediacy of the moment. No vocals, just interplay, dynamics and shifting textures that move from hushed figures to driving grooves, with the duo’s trademark dialogue at the center of it all.
