A night of anthems, nostalgia and 2000s energy in Marbella
Starlite Occident 2025 traveled to the UK with the vibrant live show of The Kooks, one of the most iconic British indie bands of the 2000s, who turned the quarry into a true club of sharp riffs and sing-along choruses. With nearly two decades of career, the band reaffirmed their place on the global stage with a concert full of freshness, nostalgia and musical maturity.
Charismatic frontman Luke Pritchard once again proved why he remains one of the genre’s most magnetic performers: he jumped, danced, joked with the crowd and turned every song into a moment of shared complicity. The setlist included classics from their debut Inside In/Inside Out (2006) such as “Seaside”, “She Moves In Her Own Way” and the eternal anthem “Naïve”, which became a collective karaoke, shouted with passion by fans of all ages.
Their latest tracks from “10 Tracks To Echo In The Dark” also made the cut, showcasing The Kooks’ more electronic and refined side, while still preserving the freshness and emotional charge that define their sound. The quarry vibrated with the unique blend of melancholy and euphoria that makes their music a timeless injection of youth.
The finale with “Naïve” was the night’s climax, leaving the echo of a Starlite Occident 2025 transformed into an indie dance floor under the stars. A concert that proved that with The Kooks there is no room for passive nostalgia: their music remains present, celebratory and a living memory.
Starlite Occident 2025 reaffirms its status as the world’s leading boutique festival, bringing together the greatest international bands and offering unique experiences in an unparalleled natural setting.
