Jolly Joker (hard rock + glam rock)
With songs that range from the absurd adventures of a hobbit to the misadventures of modern romantic relationships, the internet, and AI, El Reno Renardo has proven—and will continue to prove—that humor and metal can be an explosive combination. In 2026, they’ll celebrate 20 years in the business with a new album featuring re-recordings of old songs and new tracks, which they’ll share with their “orcs” on a tour that stops in Larratxo.
The lineup that laid the groundwork for Sphinx began in 1992 with vocalist Manuel Rodríguez and drummer Carlos Delgado, alongside other musicians from the city of Cádiz, where the band originated.
In 1995, they settled on what would become their definitive name: Sphinx, choosing to play classic heavy metal sung in Spanish. To celebrate the group’s 30-year career, the band is preparing a newly remastered reissue of their debut album, Sphinx, as well as a special remixed edition of their third album, Paraíso en la eternidad, and a special 30th-anniversary tour during which they will perform their debut album in its entirety for the first time, alongside the greatest classics from their discography.
Jolly Joker was formed in 2009, and from the very beginning, they knew they wanted to lead the glam, sleazy, and hard rock scenes in Spain, the U.K., and wherever fate might take them. They have opened for bands of the caliber of Adam Bomb, The Quireboys, Hardcore Superstar, L.A. Guns, Backyard Babies, etc.,
