Mad Cool remained silent on his first day, held in the Iberdrola Music space, in southern Madrid. First it was in the performance of the young Gracie Abrams and then in that of Iggy Pop. The Abrams’s recital was interrupted 20 minutes and that of Iggy Pop, 25. Just when the veteran musician was going to sing, already with his chest exposed, the electricity stopped working. Iggy took it with humor at first, applauding people, but when he saw that he lengthened he left the stage. He returned to five minutes and just when he was going to sing again the electricity.
“We are having electrical problems. But in a few moments the show. Wait calmly, ”said someone from the organization on stage. Then they put a sign in the videos with the same message. 50,000 people are expected on this first day. Finally, at 25 minutes, the band and Iggy came out and could start with TV Eyes, The Stooges piece. He planned to act for 80 minutes, but finally lasted an hour.
Before there had been the same problem, this time on the main stage. What time did Gracie Abrams say, she was very happy to act in Mad Cool. A few minutes after that solela statement, the electricity of the main stage was gone and left the young artist mute. Eye: it was one of the main attractions of the first day of the festival and the person responsible for thousands of young people stomping for the first time the Madrid enclosure. He had 30 minutes of concert, the equator of his performance. I was interpreting Mess It Up And indeed that was a ruin. “It’s a shame. I hope they return money,” was the general feeling of many people.
The singer, daughter of the cinematographic creator JJ Abrams threw courage and did not leave the stage. His musicians do. But she first shouted with the first rows of the 20,000 who witnessed the concert, and then tied the guitar and started loading. No microphone, without electricity. They listened perhaps 100 people. What a ballot. At 20 minutes the light returned and it had already passed the turn: it only gave him time to interpret a subject, Close to You. No one from the organization explained the situation while the interruption of Abrams lasted. At the close of this article the festival continued without further cuts of light.
