Drag La Tacones, winner of the Drag Queen Gala at the Las Palmas Carnival of Gran Canaria 2026, has started a national tour with the show 'This is Drag', bringing the essence of the Gran Canaria festival to different Spanish cities.
Drag La Tacones has taken to the stages of central Spain with his new show, 'This is Drag'. The artist, who won the crown at the Drag Queen Gala of the Las Palmas Carnival in 2026, is taking advantage of the months following the contest to bring his art beyond the Archipelago.
A tour that started with strength
The tour began just a few weeks after the gala and has already passed through cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Seville. At each stop, Drag La Tacones presents a show that blends music, dance, humour, and a powerful message of diversity. The proposal has been well received by the audience, who fill the venues where he performs.
The organisation of the Las Palmas Carnival has expressed satisfaction with the success of the tour.
It is a pride to see how he represents the image of our carnival in each performance, sources from the City Council state. The Council sees this initiative as a unique opportunity to promote the festival, declared of International Tourist Interest.
An ambassador on stage
Drag La Tacones has become an ambassador of Canarian culture. With each performance, he not only entertains but also spreads the values of inclusion and freedom that characterise the Las Palmas Carnival. The drag gala in the capital of Gran Canaria is one of the most followed in the world, and having its winner touring the Peninsula reinforces the island's external projection.
For the residents of Gran Canaria, seeing their representative succeed outside is a source of pride. The 'This is Drag' tour brings the carnival closer to those who cannot travel to the island to experience it live, and also serves to attract new visitors. The show includes numbers inspired by the nights of the gala, with a renewed touch for the national audience.
A phenomenon that keeps growing
The drag phenomenon in the Canary Islands has seen a surge in recent years. The Drag Queen Gala of the Las Palmas Carnival is a benchmark, and each edition attracts thousands of spectators. Drag La Tacones, with his charisma and talent, has managed to capitalise on that pull. The tour schedule already has dates until summer, with planned stops in Bilbao, Zaragoza, and Malaga, among other cities.
For those who want to see him, tickets are available on the usual platforms. The artist does not rule out extending the tour if demand remains high. The carnival thus stays alive all year round, not only in the streets of Las Palmas but in every corner where the music of 'This is Drag' plays.
