Almost everything is ready for the start of a new edition of the Low Festival tomorrow, Friday, which this year will have almost 70 artists and expected attendance for each of the three days of around 23,000 people. This was made clear this afternoon at the coordination meeting of the health and security device of the event, which took place in the Plenary Hall of the City Hall.
The event, which begins tomorrow, Friday 26th and will last until Sunday 28th, will have a device that will far exceed 200 officers between Local Police, National Police, Civil Protection (two shifts) and private security. At the meeting, it was informed that private security would amount to around 150 people between security guards, assistants, SEAS, coordinators and director. The Low Festival is held, every year, at Guillermo Amor Sports City. Four stages and eight evacuation exits have been established there.
As for the health equipment, there will be two Advanced Life Support (UVI) ambulances, two Basic Life Support (BVS) ambulances, two doctors, four nurses, ten Emergency Medical Technicians (TES) and two lifeguards at the VIP Pool.
Low attendees can pre-validate their tickets at the Town Hall from yesterday Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and today Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Likewise, wristbands can be collected at the Low grounds from 7:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday until 2:30 a.m. and from 7:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. on Sunday.
On the other hand, the mayor and members of the local corporation visited this afternoon to the festival facilities at the Guillermo Amor Sports City, where the finishing touches are already being made to have everything ready for tomorrow.
Toni Pérez, accompanied by José Piñeiro, director of the event, saw first-hand the new features for this edition. Among them, is the elimination of chemical toilet stands out, which have been replaced by others connected to the wastewater network. Likewise, the Low also incorporates an installation with solar panels to supply electricity to some areas of the venue such as bars, toilets, etc., which contributes to reducing the electricity bill.
The mayor highlighted that “one more year, the Low Festival is confirmed as one of the great musical events of the summer at a national level”, with a forecast of 23,000 daily attendees and with an undeniable impact on the city in terms of occupancy, which also affects other sectors such as hospitality”.
Pérez has once again highlighted the new measures adopted that continue to make the Low a benchmark in sustainability; “which this year is reflected in the almost total reduction of chemical toilets replaced by modular bathrooms directly connected to the wastewater network of the Sports City”. The mayor recalled that this measure “has been implemented thanks to the improvements made to the sports complex following the construction of the two new football pitches”.
