No scarcity modifier (recurring tribute show). Request specifies an indoor setting, though The Beach Club is an open-air, beach-front venue — confirm an enclosed room for a seated piano show.

Biggest levers

Billy Joel’s songbook is one of the most recognised on the coast (~35M Spotify monthly listeners), but ~18 points come off because the crowd comes for the songs, not this specific tribute act.
Audience fit is strong: classic English-language pop/rock maps onto the British-resident and Northern-European tourist base – though little Spanish-chart relevance caps the ceiling.
Small 100-seat room at €49 is easy to fill with targeted promotion; scarcity here is a selling point, not a risk.
Date choice matters more than usual: 5 Jul is clear, 4 Jul faces Danny Ocean (minimal overlap) and 3 Jul faces Gipsy Kings (real overlap with the same older international crowd).

Date comparison

Sun 5 Jul 2026 54 SOLID clear night — no major coast clash found

Sat 4 Jul 2026 53 SOLID clashes with Danny Ocean at Starlite (younger Latin crowd — limited overlap)

Fri 3 Jul 2026 50 SOLID clashes with Gipsy Kings at Starlite (overlapping older international audience)

Revenue: ticketed — affiliate value good Confidence: Medium

Recommendation

Lead with Sunday 5 July — it is the only clear night of the three and edges ahead despite not being a Saturday. The Billy Joel catalogue is a dependable draw for the coast’s British-resident and tourist audience, so a 100-seat room at €49 should fill with modest, well-targeted promotion. Push the show through English-language expat channels (Facebook groups, Sur in English) rather than Spanish-language media, and frame it as an intimate, seated piano evening to justify the price. Avoid Friday 3 July, when Gipsy Kings at Starlite competes for the same older international crowd.
