Not a day. In a context where the expression Sold out seems from another era, Love of Lesbian has managed to sell out all tickets for the concert at Palau Sant Jordi, which was announced this very Friday morning. The concert, which will take place on March 27, is a pilot test to establish new protocols for holding massive events until covid-19 is not fully controlled. It will expand on the experience gained from the concert held at Apolo last December, also without distances and with FFP2 masks and prior tests, in which none of the almost 500 attendees were infected.
The 5,000 lucky ones who got tickets for the concert will be able to dance as they used to, without worrying about what is now called social distancing. However, they will have to present a negative antigen test, allow their temperature to be taken, and wear an FFP2 mask, which will be provided by the organization. In line with the new times, Palau Sant Jordi will be filled with hydroalcoholic gel dispensers and the venue will be divided into four zones, with differentiated access points, bar services, and restrooms, meaning bubble groups will be created. Attendees will also have to provide their personal data for subsequent tracking of their health status.
Behind this concert is Festivals per la cultura segura, in which festivals such as Primavera Sound, Sónar, Cruïlla, Vida, and Canet Rock participate, in addition to the promoter The Project. The initiative has the support of the Barcelona City Council, the Generalitat, and the Fundació Lluita contra la Sida i les Malalties Infeccioses (FLSida), founded by Dr. Bonaventura Clotet.
Love of Lesbian, which is finishing recording Viaje épico hacia la nada, will review all the hits of their long career. The Love of Lesbian concert will not be the first to be held at Palau Sant Jordi after the arrival of the pandemic. Carlos Sadness will precede it a week earlier, with reduced capacity and respecting distances, as part of the Guitar Bcn festival. Carlos Sadness fans will have to wait a little longer to dance as they used to.
