Real Madrid is very proud of its new-look Bernabéu, a new venue with a futuristic structure, inside which the 360-degree 4K screen and the innovative pitch changing system impress. Very happy to have their new vessel, the Merengue club is rubbing their hands, because this new Bernabéu is supposed to bring them a real fortune every year. With the aim of making it a bankable stadium 365 days a year, Casa Blanca hopes to reach €100 million annually thanks to revenues linked to matches, concerts, the club museum, plus all types of events (trade fairs, football matches). other sports).
Once inaugurated, the new Bernabéu began to host different events and the concerts made the decibels resonate in the Chamartin district. That’s when the first problems started. Clearly, the direct neighborhood of the Madrid den quickly had enough of the noise level considered too high. Is the new Bernabéu, which can still close its roof, poorly soundproofed? Concerts were logically singled out and even announcements made during Real Madrid matches were considered too noisy. Local residents then published videos showing the noise impact of the stadium. An embarrassment which led to complaints and above all to a first hard blow for Real Madrid. On September 13, Casa Blanca officially announced that it was canceling all concerts planned until March 2025. In total, this represents five dates (October 12, November 15, December 28 and 29, March 22).
Justice does not give the Merengues any favors
“Real Madrid CF announces that it has decided to temporarily postpone its program of events and concerts at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. This decision is part of a series of measures taken by the club to ensure strict compliance with municipal regulations in force during concerts. Despite the soundproofing conditions of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium and the strengthening measures that have been taken, compliance with these regulations by the various organizers and promoters has been affected by the great challenge that they have had to take on to take into account all its precepts. Real Madrid will continue to work to ensure that concerts take place under the precise conditions of sound production and broadcasting that allow concerts to be held in our stadium. New dates and details will soon be announced for Dellafuente and Aitana, initially scheduled for November 15 and December 28 and 29, 2024 respectively, and for Lola Índigo, scheduled for March 22, 2025. As for Music Bank, which was to have takes place on October 12, 2024, it is definitively canceled. In addition to concerts, the Bernabéu is ready to host a multitude of events and shows, which will continue to take place as part of the stadium operation project. Real Madrid will continue to collaborate with the Community of Madrid and Madrid City Hall on sustainability and coexistence, and will always strive to ensure that the stadium’s activities guarantee its commitment to the city of Madrid and are beneficial for its environment. »
And today, another hard blow. Spanish media A.S. And Marca relay in chorus a court decision which puts the brakes on two other projects of Real Madrid for its new Bernabéu, namely the construction of two car parks (Real had obtained the operation of these car parks for 40 years) and a tunnel . Thus, the administrative court number 30 of Madrid agreed on Wednesday to “suspend execution” work on these two car parks and the tunnel in the area surrounding the stadium. The town hall had authorized this work in March 2023, before this same court, seized by the Neighborhood Association having suffered damage because of the Bernabéu (AVPB), canceled this decision two months later, due to a lack of public interest. Despite this, the town hall had however authorized the resumption and continuation of the work until the final judgment. But this Wednesday, administrative court number 30 in Madrid signaled the end of recess and the work must stop immediately. “The effects of the judicial decision directly affect not only the defendant administration (the town hall), which issued the canceled agreement, but also the co-defendant entity (Real Madrid), to which the concession for the construction was awarded and the operation of the car parks planned on Paseo de la Castellana-Bernabéu and Padre Damián, and which does not currently have the necessary title to carry out the works”. The town hall and Real Madrid have fifteen days to appeal, but the court has already clarified that this appeal will not be able to suspend the request for an immediate halt to the work made this Wednesday.
