Primavera Sound music: the festival euphoria returns 1,000 days later
Expansion The Primavera Sound Festival will be based in Madrid in 2023
After the avalanche of complaints due to the queues at the bars and the feeling that the Fòrum is at the limit of its capacity, the festival promised to solve the queues and enable more drinking water points.
“We are aware of the problems in the bar services yesterday and we apologize to you,” the organization said in a statement.
On Thursday night there were difficult moments at the entrances to the concerts, with funnels.
The queues at the food and drink bars ended up acting as a stopper between stage and stage.
And the entrances are not as open as before because, alas, the festival has to make room for the VIP areas and their corresponding entrances and exits.
This edition there are five of the so-called
premium
zones .
The one at Soho House even has a pool.
Added to all this is the fact that, after the cancellation of
The Strokes
, all attendees who had a day ticket for yesterday (not those who bought a season ticket) can exchange it for the one for next Saturday, when the New Yorkers' performance is more or less assured.
How many people will decide to join the
capacity
next weekend?
Thousands?
Everything flowed a little more
on the second night of the festival, which solved its problems with the
wifi
and distributed water.
The queues were less congested and the security guards were deployed at the entrances to redirect the public at times of greatest crowding, forcing the occasional detour, such as at the start of Beck's macro-concert.
Ada Colau
, whose visit was scheduled, canceled her presence, perhaps somewhat upset with the kiss with Ayuso.
In the musical, the day was carried out by
Beck
.
The cherub who ate the world with that generational anthem that is
Loser
arrived in Barcelona after his recent and highly publicized divorce and having left Scientology.
He went on stage in a white suit in
Saturday Night Fever
mode and scored a sensational
medley
that certified the endless list of successes he has accumulated: he started with
Sexx Laws
(general madness) and from there he did not lower the bar, chaining
The New Pollution, Mixed Bizness, Que onda guero
and
Girl.
No breath.
By the time
Loser
(macrokaraoke) sounded, the delirium was already complete.
The afternoon had started with two dates with national pop,
Cariño and Amaia,
who have carved out their own path at the festival, going from performing on the most peripheral stages to the big ones.
Both creators, each in their own way, of their own style and language that happily break with the most classic romanticism.
Paola, María and Alicia kicked off with the very opportune
Year of Shit
.
The three of them have plenty of charisma and they showed it by shouting "
I'm not your fucking tamagotchi
" (the hit that Javiera Mena produced for them) and that dance bomb that is
Bisexual.
Amaia, who a few weeks ago released
La Canción de I don't want to sing
to you with her already famous stanza «Do you want to be my friend?
eat my fig
», reeled off her latest album with that mixture of lightness and concentrated emotion that makes her such a natural artist.
She started as a diva, with
Welcome to the show.
What to say about
Roberto Carlos Lange
, the North American of Ecuadorian origin who hides behind
Helado Negro
.
On his first visit to Spain, he unfolded his heavenly pop full of perfect songs that have something of a lullaby.
His subtle swaying hips coupled with a warm, whispering voice is one of those things that make you forget for a moment how bad the world is.
He started very
jobimesque
with
País
Nube , quite an anthem at this point, and little by little he filled everything with a light and suspended atmosphere, one of those that make time stop.
He finished with that absolute delight that is
Running
.
I hope you visit us more.
