Seville's iconic Plaza de España transformed into an open-air techno club as Belgian DJ Charlotte de Witte, dubbed the queen of techno, captivated an estimated 12,500 fans. The concert, part of the Icónica Santalucía Sevilla Fest, kicked off the summer season with an electrifying performance under the stars.

De Witte, who has been crowned the world's number one techno DJ by DJ Mag for six consecutive years, delivered a two-hour set that had the crowd dancing. She played a selection of her hits and remixes, including "The Techno Code," "O Movimento," "Amor," and the acclaimed "Overdrive." The audience, largely aged between 20 and 50, responded enthusiastically, with fans waving fans and holding up their phones during the performance's peak moments.

The DJ, born in Ghent in 1992, showcased the artistic maturity that has cemented her global status. Her sound has graced renowned stages like Tomorrowland, Coachella, and the Sphere in Las Vegas, and now the historic Plaza de España, designed by architect Aníbal González for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. The venue's ambiance was enhanced by light shows and large screens, creating a powerful disco effect amplified by plumes of smoke.

Before De Witte took the stage, Spanish DJ and producer Andres Campo warmed up the crowd with his electronic music. Campo, a resident DJ at Florida135 club since 2012, delivered a set featuring groove, acid, and hard-hitting sounds. He even included a remix of "Ringui Dingui" by rapper Kase.O with Sevillian group SFDK, further engaging the local audience.
