What 16 Toneladas does

16 Toneladas is a privately operated rock club and live music venue located at C/ Ricardo Micó, 3 in Valencia, Spain, founded in March 2014. The venue is purpose-built for live music performances and club/disco sessions, featuring engineered acoustic conditions comparable to recording studios with 104 dB sound capacity and minimal external vibration transmission. It includes a configurable stage (15-22 m2), two 15 m2 dressing rooms with direct stage access, professional sound and lighting systems, and a service door for backline loading. The venue is staffed by a team of approximately 10 professionals and is accessible via Valencia's metro (L1-TURIA), bus, and bike-share networks.

The venue's core product is concert and event programming featuring national and international artists across rock, punk, blues, soul, afrobeat, jazz, and electronic genres, with a calendar extending through at least late 2026. Supporting products include a downloadable technical rider for touring productions, a video archive of past performances, and an email newsletter subscription. Revenue is generated through three streams: ticket sales (€8-30+ per ticket, with tiers including standard, Meet&Greet, and multi-day passes), on-site bar/refreshment sales, and private venue rentals. Tickets are distributed via Movingtickets.com (primary), other online platforms (entrades.com, notikumi.com, tickety.es), physical outlets at partner record stores, and on-site door sales.

The business is operated independently without external investors or parent company. It received a €22,912.68 grant from the Institut Valencià de Cultura in 2025 under the Aid for the Promotion of Musical Activities program. Marketing is conducted through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, the venue website, and an email newsletter. Distribution partnerships span Movingtickets.com as the primary ticket platform and four Valencia-area record stores (Discos Harmony, Discos Amsterdam, Discos Oldies, Watusi Records) serving as physical ticket outlets.
