Candlelight concerts in Palma, Mallorca

Candlelight is Fever’s own concert format, and in Mallorca it plays at Pueblo Español, the walled village of Spanish architecture on the west side of Palma. A string quartet plays the music of one band or theme for an hour without an interval. These are tributes, and Fever says on the listings that they are not linked to or sponsored by the artist.

The evening starts at the door. Doors open 45 minutes before the concert and close 5 minutes before it starts; nobody is let in afterwards. Seats are not numbered. You buy one of five zones, Premium and A to D, and staff seat you within it in order of arrival, so friends should arrive together. The candles are LED, Fever says. Concerts begin at 19:00 or 21:00 and last about 60 minutes. Phones stay on silent, and photos and video without flash are allowed only during the last piece.

The Queen vs. ABBA set runs through Dancing Queen, SOS, Money, Money, Money, Voulez Vous, Bohemian Rhapsody, I Want to Break Free, Killer Queen, Waterloo, Super Trouper, Mamma Mia, Don’t Stop Me Now, We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions and Gimme Gimme Gimme. Fever lists the Mallorca Quartet as the players.

The place is worth arriving early for. Pueblo Español was built in the 1960s to designs by the architect Fernando Chueca Goitia, who reproduced famous Spanish buildings and streets, many at about half size, around lanes and squares inside a wall. Fever names the Sala Magna as the room on its Michael Jackson listing. There is no food or drink on sale at the concert, so eat in the old town before or after.

The one to book is Queen vs. ABBA: 4.60 from 150 reviews on Fever on 10 November 2026, and the only programme in Palma with more than 100 reviews at that level. There are two dates on sale, Saturday 21 November 2026 at 21:00, from 21.52 euros with fee, and Saturday 23 January 2027 at 19:00, from 21 euros. The Innate Law holds 4.59 from 29 reviews on 9 January 2027 at 21:00, from 21 euros. A Michael Jackson tribute, new and not yet rated, plays once on 19 December 2026 at 19:00, from 18.90. We have left out the other Palma programmes on sale, which did not reach our bar of 4.5.

This is an evening for the two Palma hotels: Es Princep is 11 minutes by taxi and Can Cera 12, about 4.5 km either way. From the Tramuntana it is further but still workable: L’Avenida Hotel in Sóller is 29 minutes, Fornalutx Petit Hotel 34, La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel 38 and Maristel Hotel & Spa 41, and Castell Son Claret is 27. From the far corners, Can Ferrereta is 45 minutes, Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor 68 and Cap Vermell Grand Hotel 74: too far for one hour of music, unless you are in Palma for the day anyway.

On zones: Fever prices them by view and closeness to the stage. Zone C is the value pick, 25.72 euros with fee against 21 to 21.52 for Zone D, and the step to Zone B is larger (34.12 to 37.80). Zone A and Premium, 42 to 57.22 euros, are for those who want to be close to the players; Premium had gone for 23 January on 10 November 2026.
