This event started at 4pm and finished at five minutes before midnight. Today (May 18), another event will take place. Also eight hours long, the publicity promises seven DJs. He fears more music "at full throttle". "We don't need saturation from tourism, we ourselves are quite capable of bothering each other." Santiago made a recording of the Friday rehearsal for the event.
This is certainly not the first time that there have been complaints about music events at the bullring.
Last May, for example, a two-day German Schlagermusik festival generated a good deal of negative publicity. Palma town hall insisted that the decibel level for that did not exceed 65 decibels outside and stated that this was the limit set by municipal ordinance.
Local police had monitored the event with precision sound level meters. The town hall added that decibel measurements using apps give indicative values. The police meters measure the true level.

FFS! Not dealt with at the time but loads of complaints. If it should have been at a set level then why not policed to that level. I despair sometimes at how disfunctional authorities are here at protecting civil rights but how efficient they are at screwing every last cent out of you!
Well you really have to be careful for what you wish for if the Bullfighting is Gone the Loud concerts or events are outlawed the structure will become another abandoned eyesore and a great spot for drug dealers and other nice people , so think very carefully about where you want this to go and as usual this all costs money A lot of money !
It needs a refurb, a roof on it and then it should be used be live music etc. And NOT for torturing animals, for the few dozen sadistic redknecks and vox supporters who like that sort of thing
