A weekend of retro rhythm and vinyl nostalgia is set to bring a soulful soundtrack to the Costa Blanca this October, as the Vinyl Avengers land in both Benidorm and Albir for two groove-filled sessions. The UK-based duo, known for their strictly vinyl-only sets, will be spinning a rich mix of Motown, 1960s soul, 1970s funk and disco, alongside northern soul, ska, 2Tone and mod classics. With an emphasis on authentic sound and carefully curated records, the Vinyl Avengers will put on a show that goes far beyond a typical DJ set.

The Vinyl Avengers take the Costa Blanca

The first event will take place on Saturday, October 24 at The Pub on Calle de Londres in Benidorm, running from 8:00pm to 11:00pm. This evening session is expected to draw a lively crowd, blending locals and expatriates with a shared love of timeless tracks and dancefloor favourites. The following day, Sunday, October 25, the show will move to The Live Lounge in Albir, located between the Costa Blanca hubs of Benidorm and Altea. Running from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, this afternoon show will provide a more laid-back setting while keeping the same high-energy selection of classic cuts.

Vinyl-only sets celebrate classic sound

What sets the Vinyl Avengers apart is their dedication to classic vinyl culture. Every track is played from original records, delivering the warm, rich sound that digital formats simply cannot replicate. Their sets are carefully crafted to capture the spirit of each genre, taking listeners on a journey through decades of influential music.

A nostalgic and fun-filled October weekend for music connoisseurs

Whether you’re a lifelong soul fan, a mod enthusiast, or simply looking for something different on the Costa Blanca social scene, these events will offer locals and visitors alike a chance to step back in time and enjoy music the way it was meant to be heard. With free-flowing grooves, a relaxed atmosphere and a strong community feel, the Vinyl Avengers’ double appearance is shaping up to be a standout weekend in October for music enthusiasts along the coastline.

Denia is preparing to celebrate the 9 d’Octubre, or the Day of the Valencian Community, as well as the following weekend, with a packed programme of cultural, musical and family-friendly events, offering plenty for locals and visitors to enjoy.

Why Denia is celebrating October 9

The main celebrations on Friday, October 9 mark the Day of the Valencian Community, a date that commemorates the historic entry of King Jaume I into Valencia and is widely celebrated across the region with traditional festivities. Local municipalities and towns like Denia, though they are officially a part of the region of Alicante, annually celebrate this day as a way to honour Valencian neighbours and unite the provinces under a shared heritage.

What to expect on 9 d’octubre in this Costa Blanca hotspot

In Denia, this landmark holiday is set to be a highlight of October; the programme includes music and dance performances, followed by a lively schedule of activities throughout the town centre. Families can participate in children’s games and entertainment, while one of the standout attractions will be a giant paella prepared for around 1,000 people, allowing the community to unite, share, and socialise together.

The atmosphere will continue into the afternoon and evening of October 9, with live music taking over bustling areas, including La Glorieta. The celebrations will round out with a traditional mascletà at night, a pyrotechnics show that features rhythmic explosions of firecrackers and is a deeply rooted part of Valencian celebrations.

A weekend of fun-filled events for the whole family

However, the fun will not end when October 9 does. The celebrations will extend into the weekend, offering activities like a puppet workshop at the Biblioteca Juan Chabás; the Dia de la Pilota on Sunday, October 11, celebrating a traditional Valencian sport and bringing it to a wider audience through demonstrations and activities; and the first Aplec de Gegants i Bèsties de Foc, a colourful street event featuring giant figures and fire-based performances moving through the centre that will add a theatrical and visually striking element to the extended festivities.

Together, these events create a lively multi-day celebration for locals and visitors that blends tradition, gastronomy and entertainment, ensuring there is something for all ages in Denia on this special weekend.
