The Catalan music group Figa Flawas will conclude their 2026 tour, "L'Última Arrencada" (The Last Start), at the second Calçofest in Valls on 21 November 2026. This announcement follows the significant success of the festival's first edition, according to organisers.
The Valls-based duo confirmed their special closing concert will take place in the large marquee at Fornàs, Valls. Their 2026 tour includes only six concerts across Catalonia, each designed to be a unique event. The Calçofest performance marks a return home for the group, aiming to strengthen their connection with audiences in Valls and across the country.
Figa Flawas is the first act confirmed for Calçofest 2026. Organisers are now working to finalise the full line-up of artists and groups, with further announcements expected in the coming months.
Strong Ticket Demand for Calçofest 2026
Ticket sales for Calçofest 2026 began at 8.30pm on 26 November 2025, with an initial promotional price of €35 for the first 1,000 tickets. These tickets sold out within hours, demonstrating immediate public enthusiasm, according to organisers. Ticket prices will increase in tiers as subsequent batches are released, with reduced prices available for children.
This rapid demand follows a record-breaking debut for the festival, which saw over 10,000 attendees. The inaugural Calçofest generated 3.8 million social media impressions in the weeks leading up to the event, with an additional 1.2 million digital impacts during the 24 hours of the festival itself. This level of engagement is unusual for a first-time event, officials said.
Economic Impact and Community Engagement
The first Calçofest sold all 10,000 tickets and drew 6,000 people to the historic centre of Valls, particularly to Plaça del Pati. Food played a central role, with 1,000 calçotada tickets served throughout the day. The Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) Calçot de Valls confirmed that 35,000 calçots were sold to local restaurants during the festival weekend, showing the event's positive effect on the local economy.
The festival's operations involved over 400 direct and indirect workers, including contracted staff, security, logistics, catering, municipal services, and technical teams. This effort ensured the smooth running of the event, which generated an estimated economic impact of €1 million for the city.
Organisers described the overall assessment as "very positive", citing both internal operations and public response. They highlighted the maturity with which the city and attendees experienced the day, noting high, consistent, and respectful participation across all festival areas.
A Family-Friendly Atmosphere
One notable aspect was the open, family-friendly, and intergenerational atmosphere created from the morning, turning Valls' centre into a meeting point for diverse audiences. Organisers stated that Calçofest has "managed to create a shared experience that goes beyond the main concert", identifying this broad appeal as a defining feature of the project.
They also praised the coordination among all involved teams, including security, logistics, municipal services, catering, and volunteers. This collaboration helped deliver a smooth day without major disruptions, and a general perception of quality across all services.
Looking ahead, the festival aims to strengthen and expand its approach, combining music, gastronomy, public space, and local identity. This strategy seeks to reinforce Valls' position as a leading capital linked to the calçotada and major cultural events in the region. Calçofest is organised by Sala RedStar and Boom Boom Produccions, with support from Valls City Council, Tarragona Provincial Council, the Government of Catalonia, Valls Chamber of Commerce, and the IGP Calçot de Valls.
