This past weekend, UPPERGROUND and ARTBAT created an unforgettable moment in music history with a SOLD OUT show at Real Madrid’s iconic Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. This historic event marked the stadium’s first-ever electronic music concert, and it was nothing short of spectacular.
For ARTBAT (Artur and Batish), this event was a dream come true. Lifelong fans of Real Madrid, they have been captivated by the energy and legacy of the Bernabeu since childhood. Standing on the same ground where football legends have played, ARTBAT channeled that extraordinary energy into every beat, every note, and every moment of their performance.
The Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, renowned as the world’s most famous football ground, had never before hosted an electronic music event. With its recent refurbishment, featuring a brand-new roof and expanded seating terraces, the stage was set for an extraordinary night.
ARTBAT and their trailblazing UPPERGROUND label captivated a maximum capacity crowd of 10,000 fans. The audience was swept away by an electrifying soundtrack and sensory-stimulating production that transformed the legendary stadium into an otherworldly experience. The energy was palpable, and the moments shared on that night gave everyone goosebumps.
In a heartfelt moment, ARTBAT shared their deep connection to the stadium with the crowd, saying, “The energy of this stadium and the football legacy it holds made this event exceptional. We are grateful and honored to be here, living these unforgettable moments.”
The unique event was filled with standout performances. ARTBAT delivered a mesmerizing headline set, while fellow Ukrainian star Miss Monique enchanted the crowd with her immersive melodic house and techno grooves. GRAMMY-nominated UK duo CamelPhat brought their signature big-room vibes, and Brazilian pioneer Vintage Culture captivated with his melodic sets. The event opened with a sublime b2b performance from Fred Lenix and Cay / Another Life, setting the perfect tone for this groundbreaking event.
ARTBAT continues to redefine the electronic music scene with their innovative sound and ambitious events. This landmark show at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu not only set a new standard for global electronic music but also created a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will be remembered for years to come. The night was filled with gratitude, honour, and an unforgettable energy that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were there.
