PICCA

PICCA, formerly known as Piccadilly Downtown Club, is a nightclub at Carrer dels Tomassos 12, on the edge of Ruzafa, the neighbourhood with the densest mix of bars, restaurants and late-night spots in Valencia. It is one of the few openly LGTBIQ+ themed clubs in the city and a fixed weekend address for drag shows, pop anthems and themed parties.

The club is spread over two levels, with a large main dance floor and several smaller areas, and it has long been known for its silent disco, where guests dance with wireless headphones and switch between DJ channels. The decoration mixes retro, elegant and contemporary touches, which the venue itself describes as a retro-futuristic experience. Our listing puts capacity at around 500 people.

The music is pop-driven: Spanish and international pop, divas, house, electronic and commercial hits, with a themed party almost every weekend. Recent programmes show the style clearly: drag performances by queens such as Papo Princess, Dafne Mugler, Sharay XXX or Mel Neut, past shows with Drag Race contestants, tribute nights like Shakira's Show or Reina del Pop, and recurring parties such as Caliente Caliente, Pink Flamingos, Troglodisco and Bomb Alert. Pride week in summer brings special parties too.

The crowd is diverse and inclusive: the LGTBIQ+ community together with groups of friends of every orientation, Ruzafa locals and visitors. The tone is playful and festive rather than exclusive, and dress is casual. Minimum age is 18. Entry usually costs between €12 and €20 depending on the night and how early you buy.

PICCA opens on Friday and Saturday nights from midnight until 7:30am and is closed the rest of the week. Queues can be long on busy nights, so arriving reasonably early saves time at the door. Tickets for each party are sold on Xceed, often with cheaper early tiers, and buying ahead is the safest option for the big drag nights. Before heading in, the bars and terraces of Ruzafa, a few streets away, are the natural warm-up for dinner or a first drink. Upcoming nights are listed on this page.
