Overview
- The Madrid Provincial Court, which ruled Wednesday, upheld the appeals and dismissed the criminal case against José Ángel Sánchez and Real Madrid Estadio S.L.
- Judges concluded that concert promoters, as the event right-holders, are solely responsible for staying within legal decibel limits at the stadium.
- The court said excessive noise can amount to an administrative breach but does not by itself justify criminal charges against the club or its executives.
- Concerts remain paused until the venue satisfies local noise caps, and the club has not announced a technical plan to contain sound.
- Reports describe soundproofing studies with estimates of about €20–25 million to cut noise, after neighbor complaints halted shows for roughly two years and pushed many 2024 dates to Atlético’s Metropolitano.
