Tickets were due on 19 November and will go on sale on the 17th: the duo admits it was because of the game. And a Finnish chain suggests agreeing console hours in writing.
A video game moving another game's date is routine. Moving the ticket sale of one of Spain's best-known bands is something else.
What Estopa said
Brothers David and José Manuel Muñoz have announced four concerts in Spain for June and July 2027. Explaining when tickets go on sale, José Manuel admitted the date was not the planned one: there is a game a lot of people are waiting for, he said, and they "had to find that gap so as not to clash". Vandal reports it.
David added, laughing, that the plan had been the 19th and that it was his son who asked him not to pick that day. Both brothers count themselves among those fans.

A "peace treaty" for the console
In Finland, electronics chain Gigantti has published the Grand Game Deal, an agreement for negotiating at home how much uninterrupted gaming time each person gets, as Dexerto reports. It has three levels:
- Easy: one full day on 19 November.
- Normal: the whole launch week.
- Hard: a month.
In return you agree favours: household chores, gifts or time together. The document is signed and printed. The promotion, with a discount and a prize draw, is only valid in Finland and ends on 15 November, but the treaty can be read in English.
They are not the first to step aside
The date is already shifting plans outside gaming. Leave requests for 19 November are up, Australia's workplace regulator has jokingly explained which leave types do not cover gaming, and the Miami Heat will play as "Vice City" the night before. To plan your own, see our launch week calendar and checklist (in Spanish).
