Spanish rock icon Mikel Erentxun is set to cross the Atlantic in 2026 with a special tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of Duncan Dhu, the legendary band that helped define an era of Spanish pop-rock.

Duncan Dhu emerged in the mid-1980s and quickly became one of Spain’s most influential bands, blending folk, pop, and rock with poetic lyrics and unmistakable melodies. Songs such as “En algún lugar,” “Cien gaviotas,” and “Jardín de rosas” remain timeless classics, still resonating with audiences decades later. Now, four decades on, Mikel Erentxun revisits this powerful musical legacy, bringing its spirit to both longtime fans and new listeners across the United States.
