- Municipal officials said they have opened talks with Levante UD to stage Village activities at Estadio Ciutat de València as an alternative site.
- A judge ordered Valencia to stop CACSA events from breaching residents' fundamental rights and allowed authorizations to be revoked or events moved, granting €3,000 to each plaintiff.
- Mayor María José Catalá said she will seek balanced alternatives and open a formal dialogue with the Generalitat and CACSA, which issues festival licenses for the venue.
