Overview
- Deep Purple opened Vigo’s Castrelos concert season with a scheduled 22:00 start that overlapped Spain’s World Cup match, leaving attendees to pick between the live show and watching the game.
- The Concello asked the band to postpone the set by one hour but the artists and contract held firm, and the venue will not screen the match on the park’s big displays.
- The city completed an exhaustive acoustic study across the grada and park and lowered the sound-and-image control tower to improve sightlines and make sound more uniform for all positions.
- Access rules for the season keep general seating in the grada free while platea seating is paid, nominative, limited to four tickets per buyer and mostly sold in person through two sales turns with ID checks at collection.
- To manage large crowds the Concello and Vitrasa launched reservable post-concert shuttle routes integrated with PassVigo and published walking, cycling and parking guidance to ease arrival and dispersal, a measure aimed at reducing congestion given Castrelos’s history of very large audiences.
