5 Days of Soul, Motown & Sun in Benalmádena: Costa del Soul (February Edition)

Northern Soul promoters, GoldSoul, are heading back to Sunset Beach Club this February with another edition of their winter soul break. Whilst this winter edition of their Soul has recently been a 9-day event, this year we are back to a fun-packed 5-day soul music experience! 

As many of you know, for the last 16+ years we’ve welcomed GoldSoul for their week-long Costa del Soul events. These usually take place at the end of October, and are, undeniably the top soul music events on the Costa del Sol.

Building on the success of their autumn Costa del Soul holidays, GoldSoul recently (before Covid messed things up) added this new Soul and Motown Break to their calendar!

From the 2nd to 7th February (2024) Soul and Motown music fans can enjoy a jam-packed long weekend break in the sun with music every night in the Sunset Beach Club Moonlight Bar and daily lunchtime sessions on the Oasis Restaurant Terrace.

Some of the UK’s top northern soul DJ’s will be flying in especially for this Soul music weekend including Kev Roberts, Snowy, Ozz, Hitsville Chalky, Ossie Stewart, Tim Rabjohn, Sam Evans, Mike Atherton, Andy Baskett as well as other DJ’s and guests yet to be announced.

If you’re a Soul and Motown music fan and are interested in more information about this weekend break, please contact www.goldsoul.co.uk . You’ll be able to book a full package including accommodation and full entertainment pass for all the shows throughout the 5 days.

This is a privately organised event; however, hotel guests and non-residents are welcome to join in the fun. Entrance fee will be €10 per person and night and is payable at the door each night.
