BNG Pitches Ifevi Overhaul for Major Concerts, Urges Dropping Vigo Arena

The party will present the proposal to the Ifevi board for inclusion in the venue’s strategic plan.

Overview

  • BNG calls for a comprehensive renovation of the Vigo fairgrounds to host large concerts and cultural events, arguing the facilities are largely underused.
  • The party says upgrading Ifevi would make the proposed Vigo Arena in Navia unnecessary and denounces its inclusion in the new PXOM as a backdoor approval.
  • BNG spokesperson Xabier Pérez Igrexas calls Vigo Arena a “delirious idea” and warns it would clear roughly 25,000 square meters of forest in Barroca.
  • The push comes as relations between Vigo’s city council and the Xunta on the Ifevi governing board have recently improved, creating space to advance proposals.
  • The plan links venue works to better access, stronger public transport connections, and potential parking expansion through agreements with Vigo Airport.
