Trk Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 (edited) That's old news. Nothing to worry about if you read the whole thing: The new regulations also establish the closing time of the musical activity, which will be related to the closing time of the metro. That is, from Monday to Thursday, the concerts will have to end at 11 p.m. (one hour before the metro closes); and on Friday at 1 a.m. (the metro closes at 2 a.m.). On Saturday there is no limitation, because the metro runs all night. However, there are exceptions if the festivals deploy their own mobility plan, as Primavera Sound and Cruïlla already do, which partially finance the extraordinary operation of buses and the Tram, in addition to reaching agreements with the taxi service.

Trk Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 They won’t leave the city. Even if in ten years forum music days are reduced from 30 to 4 (exaggerating), you know which festival is going to keep them. The rest of the events that take place there during the year combined don’t get close to ps in budget, overseas visitors or relevance. In the end it’s the second largest event in the city (after Mobile World Congress) and the largest, by far, regarding music / entertainment. And we all know how subordinated city councils are to this sort of things in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think her promoting the solo tour without including the festivals is a sign of anything sinister and probably reduces likelihood of her cancelling, if anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
