During its 20th anniversary in 2015, the world-famous Vina Rock has beaten all expectations. It doesn’t come as a surprise that more and more visitors are attending this amazing event as the whole atmosphere there is absolutely incredible.
Every visitor comes to the event with a single purpose- to enjoy music with friends and have a great time. Perhaps this is the reason why there hasn’t been even a single significant incident in spite of more than 200,000 visitors attending the event. With a huge family involved, Vina Rock has once again proven that it’s a great place to get together for music lovers.
The results of the latest Vina Rock edition hasn’t only pleased the event managers, but also the policymakers in Villarrobledo (Albacete) locality where the event it conducted annually. The great influx of tourism it represents for the location is what has really pleased everyone.
Estimates show that the town raised around 15 – 18 million euros in just four days, which is a vast economic impact for a modest town of just around 27,000 inhabitants. Have you ever attended Vina Rock? If not, just think over what you are actually missing!
Around 120 bands crossed the eight scenarios assembled there, few of which were with brutal dimensions. Far-reaching groups like Rosendo, Mama Ladilla, Boikot, The Drugs, Sinister, Kaotiko, Def with two Reincidentes, Gatillazo, Hamlet, La Mala Rodriguez, soft, Narco, O Funk’illo, the last closing ke were some among the several good bands that left a good impression on visitors.
But….. NOT EVERYTHING IS MUSIC!!
Within the Vina Rock grounds, cannabis is the fair VINEYARD GROW, a cannabis industry where companies get together to provide information to all those passing via Vina Rock. Incidentally, there were several visitors. It’s surprising how so many attendees were present at Vine Grow in just 3 days. What’s even more surprising is the good atmosphere that was present at the event in addition to the fellowship among the event workers and cannabis industry visitors.
This may not be good news, but evidently the Interior Ministry State Spanish assumed that the Vina Rock and Vine Grow was a deliberation of Al Qaeda or may be something even worse like a global conspiracy for destroying the world.
The invasion of policemen in Villarrobledo was brutal. They control all the roundabouts and roads, helicopters, and searches. On the first day of Civil Guard (safety body of the state) also, the police entered the Vine Grow with dogs searching for drugs in all the stands. This was shameful for the stand owners as it was done in front of all the participants. The same kind of search was performed during the rest of the event, but it was decently done before opening to the public.
It’s strange to see thousands of policemen watching over people who are simply enjoying a good morning with good company and good music leaving out the corrupt politicians who rob people. There’s a lot of curiosity as to how the interior ministry depends on such politicians. However, for now, let’s focus on the positive side of this leaving aside those who only want to bother.
One of the stands had organized a great game about throwing a giant air. Depending on the color that came out on the dice, several awards were given out. The word about the game spread very quickly among the people attending the event as there was a long queue to visit the stand.
One thing that was surprising in this is that there was no need at any point of time to organize the workers as they themselves formed queues for participating and had great fun participating in the game.
