The Camino is no longer just walked… it’s also heard, and this summer it will resonate with one of the most iconic voices in the world
The Camino de Santiago continues to evolve and surprise. In 2026, it will not only be a place of pilgrimage, reflection and personal journeys… it will also become a stage for world-class music.
And this year, the spotlight belongs to Tom Jones.
The legendary Welsh singer will perform on July 2 in A Coruña, as part of the Xacobeo cultural program, reinforcing Galicia as one of the most exciting cultural destinations of the summer.
A timeless voice meets the spirit of the Camino
Tom Jones needs no introduction. With a career spanning more than six decades, his voice has defined generations and continues to captivate audiences around the world.
His presence near the Camino represents more than just a concert. It is a meeting point between history and modern culture, between a centuries-old pilgrimage route and the power of live music.
A combination that feels more relevant than ever.
The Camino is also lived through music
In recent years, the Xacobeo initiative has expanded the meaning of the Camino experience. Walking is still at its core, but cultural events—especially music—are becoming an essential part of the journey.
Concerts like this create unforgettable moments for both pilgrims and visitors, blending the emotional depth of the Camino with the energy of live performance.
A different kind of Camino summer
The arrival of international artists confirms a clear trend: the Camino is no longer just about the destination, but about the full experience.
Nature, spirituality, culture… and now music.
For many, finishing the Camino and enjoying a concert like this adds a new dimension to the journey.
Where tradition meets modern life
The Camino de Santiago has always been a place of encounter.
Today, it is where tradition meets modern expression.
Some walk in silence, seeking reflection. Others celebrate the moment through music.
Both are part of the same Camino.
A journey that keeps evolving
In 2026, the Camino continues to grow without losing its essence.
It remains spiritual.
It remains human.
But it is also becoming more global than ever.
And this summer, it will have its own soundtrack.
