The end of the tour, at the Axerquía
Medina Azahara play the Teatro de la Axerquía in Córdoba on Saturday 17 October 2026, at 21:00. The city's listings present it as the final concert of the tour by the band, who have announced their farewell to the stage, and it is programmed by the IMAE, the Instituto Municipal de las Artes Escénicas. Tickets range from 30 to 45 euros. This is a date in their own city and not just another stop on the calendar, and that is how the group themselves see it.
More than four decades of Andalusian rock
The group formed in Córdoba in the late seventies and took its name from the palace city that Abd al-Rahman III had built on the outskirts. It is worth pointing out, because anyone searching for "Medina Azahara" will come across the archaeological site before the band. Since then they have been one of the reference points of Andalusian rock, with a long career and a loyal audience that has grown with them. That the tour should close here, and not in any other city, makes sense.
The Teatro de la Axerquía in October
The Axerquía is an open-air auditorium with tiered seating, and it is where the IMAE programmes a good share of the city's big concerts. On 17 October at nine in the evening it is already getting chilly in Córdoba, so a coat goes on the list before anything else. The price range, from 30 to 45 euros, usually depends on the area of the venue, so it is worth looking at the seating plan and comparing before you complete the purchase.
If you're in two minds, this date won't come round again
The usual question with a veteran band is whether there will be another chance later on. Here the group themselves have said no: they are leaving the stage and this is their date in Córdoba. For anyone who has followed them for years, the argument stands on its own. For anyone who does not know them, it works as a way into a repertoire built over decades, in an open-air venue and with an audience that knows the songs by heart. You really notice that last part from the stands.
