Also the big well-known beach clubs like Ocean Club or […]

A man, a piano: when John Legend enters the stage, the singer needs nothing more than his voice and a piano to present his songs to the audience. Last Wednesday, July the 24th, the soul artist honored Marbella  his concerts at the annual Starlite Festival 2019. One step ahead: John Legend lives up to his name! An artist who inspires the masses with his own voice – without any fireworks, shows or band. A true soul legend. This is exactly what he proves at the concert in Marbella, all with his powerful voice and only accompanied by his piano. Never before has an artist come out on stage with less: John Legend, a piano, his breathtaking voice. This was enough to enthuse the guests from the first note on.
