Trovam, The Valencian Music Fair, will present its lineup on Saturday, October 31st at the La Bohemia venue in Castellón. It will do so with a party starring Palmer and Las Víctimas Civiles, bands that have participated in previous editions of this professional and musical event—specifically in 2024 and 2017, respectively. Tickets are available through the Trovam official website.
It should be noted that Trovam will take place between Thursday, November 12th and Saturday, November 14th in the capital of La Plana Alta. The artistic lineup features 48 singers and bands from various origins and musical styles. As such, the Fair will host the premiere of Pep Gimeno "Botifarra"'s new show, alongside performances by Sandra Monfort with her Terra de Guapes show, Perfecto Miserable, Romàntic Dimoni, Bernal, and La Xica, among others. National acts like Depresión Sonora, Repion, Cervatana, Rebrote, La Perra Blanco, Toundra, and Brighton 64 will also perform. Additionally, an intensive professional schedule will feature panel discussions, talks, and workshops.
Valencian Talent
Palmer is a transfolk musical collective led by Burriana native Aina Monferrer. They have released five works—Psicopompa (2020), the Fallanca EP (2021), Solatge (2022), Derelicte (2023), and Conxorxa (2024)—built on elements of techno, punk, trap, folklore, politically charged pop lyrics, and a strong urge to dance. Their latest release on the Poni de Troia label has consolidated them as a leading group in the new electronic political folk and Valencian synth-pop scene. This year, they have released the singles “La moma xopà” with Reina Mora and the soundtrack for the short film No als poalets. Furthermore, they are preparing a new album while remaining on tour.
On the other hand, Las Víctimas Civiles is a group born from the meeting of Héctor Arnau's poetry and Pau Miquel Soler's (Arthur Caravan) music. The band stages a carnival-esque punk rock serving a repertoire where protest song degenerates into buffoonish lament, tragicomedy, and an apology for neoliberal hedonism. After more than a decade together, the band's live shows have evolved into a ritual that draws a not-so-young audience toward Fallas verse, performance art, and coven-like energy. Their second album, released last spring, is titled Dulce exceso del progreso.
