The festival concludes its first edition with some 90,000 followers in two days.
Neither the distance from the center nor the access problems the day before have minimized Rosala’s pull in a day of eminently female music in Primavera Sound Madrid, which has closed its first edition with some 90,000 followers in two days6,000 more people this Saturday than at its opening.
together with his countrywoman Bad Gyal wisely programmed to follow, the two Catalan artists have formed a tandem with enormous convening power despite the fact that their performances have been reserved for the now presumed stellar turn of the festival, the one after 2 in the morningwhich on the other hand has helped the influx to the venue to be more staggered and fluid today than on Friday.
“I am very grateful to this city that has always welcomed me with open arms and that is very motomami!“, Rosala exclaimed after the well-known start of her show between roars of acceleration and “Saoko”, “Bizcochito” and “La Fama”.
In this way, he has returned to Madrid to the praise of crowds when one year has passed since the beginning of his “Motomami World Tour” and when this tour precisely faces its last dates with the same revolutionary spirit based on the choreographed aesthetics of Tik Tok, with eight dancers and as much interaction with the cameras as with the public at their feet, still without live instruments but with many new songs that have been incorporated in this time.
Among them have been, of course, “spite“, baptized on this same tour but with a hyper-accelerated twist and “techno” airs, as well as “Lie Like You Love Me”, “Kiss” and “Vampires”but not “Yours”, released this past Friday, within a shorter repertoire adapted to the festival format and with the accent on his latest album, while “El mal querer” (2018) has been reduced to “Badly” almost as a finishing touch.
A women’s day
With the permission of DJ Calvin Harristhe predominance among the artists with the most punch on this day of notable LGTBq+ and feminine energy (39% of the entire line-up are women, as the organization has “proudly” highlighted) has been naturally reflected in the diversity of the public and even in his locker room, with a point more fantasy than in the previous most testosteronic day.
Figures like Arlo Parkseven in the heat of the afternoon sun and the soft lullaby that he has managed to create under cover of the difference with his two albums on the market, including the recent “My Soft Machine” or “Collapsed in Sunbeams” (2021), awarded with a Mercury for Best British Album.
The alternative r&b of the American company has also slipped into that league Forgive me and the Dutch of Iranian origin Sevdalizaone of the performances that has surprised the most for its sensual and even lewd proposal, with eclectic and very danceable bases, between trip hop and r&b.
Neither can we forget in the area of urban Latino two cyclones: the Dominican Tokischa already the puerto rican West Indian Villainwhich has celebrated lesbians and the presence of many “trans flags” at their concert.
“Racist people are worth shit!”, he proclaimed just after, after singing his great success with the Argentine producer Shaving and condemn as an apostille to his actions the treatment received by the Real Madrid player Vinicius for being black.
It is also worth noting the restlessness and ambition of two artists who move on the alternative side of pop such as St. Vincent and especially the thriving Caroline Polachek with one of the most showy “shows” of the festival, the first one she does in Madrid and which she saved in extremis after suffering a voice problem for almost the entire week, according to what she herself recounted.
One of the most celebrated and at the same time most criticized points of this edition has been the incorporation of Calvin Harris with a “show” that has little to do with direct music but arrives well loaded with lights, watts and all kinds of effects, as well as an almost infinite battery of global “hits” such as “One Kiss”, “We Found Love” or “This Is What You Came For” to take the attendees at the stroke of midnight to the ideal combustion point to take over from Rosala.
Balance
With all this, this first landing in Madrid of the popular Primavera Sound live music brand has closed, with which a few lessons have been learned, for example that the rain appears when least expected (even forcing the cancellation of all day on Thursday) or that mobility is probably the great ghost of this franchise.
Even so, as indicated in a press conference42,000 people showed up at Primavera Sound on Friday and another 48,000 this Saturdayclose to the limit of 50,000 daily attendees that the organization set precisely because of the capacity of the accesses to the venue.
Satisfied with these figures, they have nevertheless recognized that, although the interior space is perfectly adapted to the idiosyncrasy of this festival with 12 stages, there are other circumstances to take into account and “the suitability of the City of the City will be assessed” for future editions. Rock as the final venue.
