All Open Air events that were going to be held on the outside of the fairgrounds will be canceled in the coming days in an unexpected movement by Ifema
The decision has caught the promoters, who They have not yet made this information public And they are now looking for Location alternatives To keep your calendars. Several sources have confirmed that cancellation has recently communicated and no possibility of previous negotiationwhich adds a high degree of uncertainty in the coming weeks. This movement feels like a jug of cold water in a year in which Neighborhood associations have already managed to paralyze the concerts of the new Santiago Bernabéu.
Similarly, this medium has tried to contact IFEMA repeatedly during the last days without obtaining any response or communication by the enclosure.
With the spring calendar already announced by many brands and the high season around the corner, the situation is especially delicate. Cancellation directly affects events that move thousands of people, with already closed posters and campaigns on the way. IFEMA was for many the most comfortable option and with more projection in the capital, both for its capacity and for its good connection with public transport.
With everything in the air, the sensation between professionals in the sector is disappointment and fatiguebefore one Lack of dialogue that is repeated every year. While in other countries and even in other Spanish cities we see how outdoor events are developed normally and more and more public influx, in Madrid there is no enclosure adapted to the demand and the few there are are closed. With IFEMA as the last bastion of the great outdoor events now disabled, the future of the capital becomes gray.
