Spanish music festivals are back. The first indie-rock concert of Love of Lesbian with 5, 000 people and safe distance was held in Barcelona at the end of March at the Palau Sant Jordi to listen, jump, squeeze and vibrate with their favorite band. Antigen tests were carried out in a tent on those who had not received a ticket in the eight hours set up in the three rooms designated for it (Apolo, Razzmatazz, Luz de Gas).
This made it possible to detect six people who tested positive and leave the rest out of danger. Even so, the security measures were not left there: the control was exhaustive, with temperature control at the entrance, mandatory masks for all 5,000 spectators into three blocks, reinforced ventilation and delimited routes.
The group members already posted on their Twitter page: “A small step for Love of Lesbian, but a big one for the culture.” The gig brought a social success, because it was very good, yes, but above all because this concert opens the door to what people have been waiting for more than a year, the music festivals, all canceled last year.
