Arde Bogotá presents its third album live on Hoy por Hoy. The band previews new songs and discusses its Los Angeles sessions, then looks ahead to the Hervideros tour, which begins on 29 October 2026.

On Friday, 2 October 2026, Arde Bogotá will release Manufacturas del Club de la Gente Sola. Before then, Pepe Esteban, Dani Sánchez, José Ángel Mercader ‘Jota’ and Antonio García will bring songs from the record to Hoy por Hoy.

The group also discusses the work behind the album, including the references in its songs and the choices that shaped its third studio release. Spanish media have identified it as the band's third studio album. El Correo and Europa Press have reported this, as has El Mundo.

Manufacturas del Club de la Gente Sola was recorded at EastWest Studios in Los Angeles with Joe Chiccarelli. The producer has also worked with U2 and The White Stripes. Spoon is another of his credits. The setting and collaboration figure prominently in the band's account of how the record came together.

The live session gives listeners an early hearing of the songs before the official release. It also connects the music with the decisions behind it and the concerts planned for the months ahead.

In interviews reported by Spanish media, the musicians say they want to sound freer and avoid feeling trapped by their own style. They also want to widen their palette beyond familiar Spanish rock territory.

The Hervideros tour starts on 29 October 2026 in Vigo. Reported dates also include Madrid and Valencia. Alicante and Murcia are also on the schedule. El Mundo reported that tickets sold out in less than four hours, while other reports described queues outside box offices overnight before sales opened.

The tour puts unusual weight on physical ticket offices and direct contact with the audience. Spanish coverage describes Hervideros as a return to a more club-focused format. That makes the tour part of the album's launch plan, rather than simply a list of concerts after release.

The conversation on Hoy por Hoy moves beyond the record. The four members reveal which artists they would book for their own festival and recommend new music. Their choices offer a glimpse of the band's tastes while keeping attention on the new album.

Housing protests in Spain also form part of the wider context. Europa Press and El Correo reported that the release coincides with a new wave of demonstrations. The group has spoken publicly about the possibility that the protests could affect social awareness.

For listeners, the programme offers an early chance to hear the album and the musicians' explanations of the ideas behind it. Pepe Esteban, Dani Sánchez, José Ángel Mercader ‘Jota’ and Antonio García appear as performers and guides to the new work.
