HOUSE ARENA puts the Roig Arena at the service of house culture

On November 7th, the new Valencian venue will host over ten hours of house music with Folamour, Dan Shake, Demi Riquísimo, and a wide representation of the local scene.

The Roig Arena is preparing to host an unprecedented proposal within its musical programming on November 7th. HOUSE ARENA will bring to the new large Valencian venue, for the first time, an experience conceived entirely around house music, turning its main floor into a meeting point for international artists, local collectives, and a community that has not stopped growing in recent years.

Driven by ELENCO House and The Basement, HOUSE ARENA is born precisely by taking advantage of the possibilities offered by the Roig Arena: an indoor space, of large dimensions and prepared to host formats of different scales, which in this first edition will be transformed to offer an experience especially focused on the dance floor.

An exclusive format for the main floor

The first edition will exclusively occupy the main floor of the Roig Arena, with a single stage and a capacity limited to 6,500 people. This configuration seeks to generate a more direct relationship between the audience and artists, concentrating the entire experience in the same space and avoiding the usual dispersion of large festivals.

The approach is especially significant due to the characteristics of the venue itself. HOUSE ARENA does not arrive at the Roig Arena simply as another event, but as a proposal designed specifically to explore the possibilities of a space that allows for the combination of large-format production with an intimate experience. The main floor will become a great house dance floor for over ten hours, with a stage design adapted to the architecture and dimensions of the venue.

The project is also born with a clear vocation for growth. The format will allow for evolution in future editions through the progressive opening of the stands, expanding the capacity, and the possibility of incorporating new spaces and stages. The first edition thus functions as a starting point for a project conceived to consolidate itself in the Valencian musical calendar and grow alongside the venue itself.

An international lineup with Valencian DNA

The programming of HOUSE ARENA brings together different generations and approaches to house, combining some of the most prominent international names of the current scene with artists and collectives directly linked to Valencia.

The main protagonist will be Folamour, who will perform in Valencia for the first time. The French artist has become one of the international references of contemporary house thanks to a proposal in which groove, soul, disco, and funk coexist, in addition to a recognized ability to build sets that are especially connected with the audience.

Joining him will be Dan Shake, an artist closely linked to the trajectory of The Basement and a figure very dear to the Valencian electronic community. Demi Riquísimo will also arrive in the city for the first time, one of the most prominent names of the new British house generation, with a proposal that connects rave culture with contemporary sounds.

The local representation will be headed by The Basement Soundsystem, the host platform and one of the fundamental projects in the evolution of the Valencian electronic scene over the last decade. The lineup will also feature Derali, one of the city's emerging names, as well as Marc Strap and Whatever Charles, founding partners of ELENCO House and The Basement respectively.

They will be the ones in charge of closing the first edition with an exclusive B2B, conceived especially for HOUSE ARENA and as a reflection of the collaboration between the two platforms driving the project.

Over ten hours of house in a new space for electronic music

HOUSE ARENA will be held on Saturday, November 7th, from 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM, with over ten hours of uninterrupted programming and a single stage.

The proposal also represents a new step in the relationship between the Roig Arena and electronic music, demonstrating the venue's possibilities for hosting formats specifically designed around club culture and the dance floor.
