Santiago Concert Facts

– The estimated starting time is 22.30 but the JMJ has already indicated that he has the last word about it, to ensure that the lighting situation is appropriate. Some delay would be possible because it is getting dark so early, so do not be surprising to see the start of the concert from 23.00h.

– The capacity of the venue  is 8,000 people.

Plaza de la Quintana, just behind the Cathedral of Santiago, have installed a giant screen for the event to follow it also in that place. This square fit 5,000 people. The screen is 7 × 13 m.

– The TVG / Galicia TV will broadcast the event. In principle, it is a false direct from 23.30.

– The project on Saturday has been designed by JMJ and his team. Already made a visit to Santiago for weeks now, and the team is working since Thursday morning to prepare everything.

– The stage will be placed in the same cathedral, particularly in the upper reaches of the entrance stairs of the main facade. It is not usual for artists to play there, because the scenarios are often placed in other areas of the square.

– The public controls to access into Plaza del Obradoiro will begin officially at 20.30.

– The platform on which the stage will be built occupy about 100 square meters.

–  500.000 W will be used for the concert lighting.
