Barcelona welcomes 5000 attendees for rock concert after same-day COVID-tests
Music
Last night, the city of Barcelona hosted a 5000-strong rock concert after attendees passed a same-day COVID-19 screening in what was the biggest pandemic-era event in Europe for a year.
Thousands of fans occupied the Palau Santi Jordi arena to watch indie band ‘Love of Lesbian’ for an experimental trial by the Spanish health authorities.
Despite attendees having to wear masks, social distancing was not required as band lead singer Santi Balmes addressed the crowd with the statement “Welcome to one of the most exciting concerts of our lives” in a surreal yet encouraging scene.
