Overview
- Valencian officials said events at the City of Arts and Sciences must follow the city’s decibel caps, and promoters must add corrective measures to protect nearby residents.
- City Hall previously asked the regional government to halt any activity at the complex that breaks the noise ordinance, leaving future authorizations unresolved.
- Promoters say the late‑May and June festivals remain scheduled and they want an urgent three‑way meeting with the mayor, the region and venue managers.
- Listings on resale sites have climbed as buyers hedge over whether shows will proceed at the current site.
- A court found earlier editions exceeded legal limits and awarded €3,000 each to 46 neighbors, and the rules aim for about 45 dB inside homes at night, a level that is hard to hit during large outdoor concerts.
