From Irun to Zaragoza for the OT 2025 concert: “I wanted to see it with my daughters, although I’m more of a Bisbal-era fan”

Although she admits that, at 50, she is more into Bisbal, Chenoa and Rosa, Blanca is counting down the hours to see a younger generation of OT stars take the stage at the Príncipe Felipe. Her daughters, Alba and Nora, got her hooked on OT 2025, and after following the show from episode to episode and gala to gala, they drove three hours from Irun to the Aragonese capital this Saturday to see Claudia, Cristina, Tinho and the rest of the cast.
From Irun to Zaragoza for the OT 2025 concert: “I wanted to see it with my daughters, although I’m more of a Bisbal-era fan”

It is not the first time they have come to the Aragonese capital to attend one of the concerts by the "talent show" contestants. In fact, they were here a few years ago to see the 2023 edition. "Zaragoza is a very beautiful city. My daughters had already gone to the OT 2025 concert in Bilbao, and I wanted to go too, so here we are," Blanca explains. The concert will begin at 9:30 p.m. and will be the penultimate opportunity to see the 16 contestants on stage, as the tour comes to an end on September 18 in Seville.

It is a somewhat different tour from previous ones. Although there have been some "sold-out" shows, overall, and as some fans acknowledge, the concerts have been less crowded than, for example, the 2023 edition or, of course, 2017. Either way, those who bought their tickets many months ago are still eager to hear "Superestrella" performed by Olivia and "La Noia" by Cristina.

That said, as with every concert, everyone has their preferences. "I really like Guille Toledano, and I’m really looking forward to hearing 'Siempre es de noche' and also 'Mariposas'," Blanca admits. Her daughter Alba agrees with her, although her favorite songs are "Agua" and "La Noia". For Nora, one of her favorite moments of the concert will be when "End of the World" plays and she sees Claudia Arenas on stage.

"I HOPE JUANJO COMES OUT TO SING"

As devoted fans of the 2020, 2023 and 2025 editions, mother and daughters are looking forward to the "surprises" the OT stars have promised at the concert. That said, if there is one surprise that would particularly delight them, it is one connected to home: Juanjo Bona making an appearance. "It would be perfect to see him on stage, and also to hear them sing a song that is not on the setlist," they say.

Thus, although they believe the 2025 edition "has had somewhat less impact", especially compared with 2023, "which was crazy", Alba, Blanca and Nora have no doubt that they will have a "great time" and encourage everyone to relive another edition of OT.
