• EMAs.Rosalía and Green Day, the big claims of the awards
  • Mad Cool: Can you bounce with Green Day after death live?

In a scenario embraced by the Plaza de España and its allegories of the different provinces of our country, Green Day culminated this Saturday the festivities prior to the celebration of the MTV European Music Awards (EMA) , which this year hosts the Andalusian capital. Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool demonstrated, once again, that they are the right ones if you have to have fun without resorting to 'techno' synthesizers or bases.

About 10,000 people bounced and danced between fireworks and crazy head turns as a warming of the EMA gala, which repeats in Spain for the second consecutive year after having occupied Bilbao in 2018. The Green Day concert also culminated the reunion of Californian punk-rockers with Spain after their controversial previous step: in the Mad Cool of 2017, when they acted just after the death of the acrobat Pedro Aunión. On this occasion they have done it twice: first in the La Riviera Hall in Madrid and then on the MTV World Stage, which every year brings to the city that hosts the EMA a performance of major international bands. In addition, the Madrid group Carolina During occupied the meadow of the Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art (CAAC) during the 'pre-pre-party' on Friday, escorted by Love of Lesbian, Viva Sweden and Derby Motoreta Burrito Cachimba.

With 'Minority' Billy Joe began the burst of tender punk-pop missiles that you never know where they are going to throw. Thus, in his inevitable review of 'Dookie' (1994), the album that made them resuscitators of the legacy of The Clash, there were moments like the 'reprise' of 'Basket case', played twice because yes, the second better than the first. 'Longview' beat like an amphetaminated heart and 'When I come around' set foot on the ground after the despotorre of its version of 'Shout' in the plan 'Desmadre a la americana'. There was even room for a baby to go on stage (Dirnt or Cool's daughter?) To steal Armstrong's mic. The songs of his other great record success, 'American idiot' (2004), such as' Jesus of suburbia ',' American idiot 'or' St. Jimmy 'worked as a counterpoint to leave his legs and arms ready for the Sevillian night.

Before Armstrong, Leon Benavente , intensitos, and The Struts opened fire, a mixture between Queen, T-Rex and The Killers, with all the paraphernalia of rock stars, impossible robes and large frills, more choreography like voodoo .

At this Sunday's gala, which will be broadcast live to 500 million people and presented by the Latin star Becky G , the main dishes will be the shows created for the occasion by Rosalia , Dua Lipa or Akon, among others.
