Diablos Locos-Bambones Battle Shifts to La Concepción Plaza for 2026 Carnival
The traditional murga battle between Los Diablos Locos and Bambones at the 2026 Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival will relocate from near the Guimerá Theater to Plaza de la Iglesia de La Concepción due to ongoing construction.
A key event at the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival in 2026 is changing its location. The murga group Los Diablos Locos announced on their social media that their traditional 'battle' with another group, Bambones, will move. Instead of taking place near the Guimerá Theater, it will now be held in the central Plaza de la Iglesia de La Concepción. This change is due to ongoing construction work near the theater. It's common for big city events to adjust their venues as local building projects develop.
The event will still happen on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at 6:00 PM, keeping its original format. Los Diablos Locos stressed that even with the new location, the show's spirit and feel will be exactly the same for their fans. These 'murga battles' are a huge part of the Tenerife Carnival's festive vibe. Thousands of people gather for these outdoor performances, which bring life to different parts of the capital and strengthen the festival's cultural identity.
