Iberdrola musicThe site known for being the seat of the Mad Cool International Festival is approaching the victory of the race to become the space for major concerts and events in the capital. The “hill” of outdoor events at IFEMA And the concert break at Bernabéu They have created a perfect atmosphere that the administration and the private company are willing to benefit.
Themselves, under the management of LASESENA Xperience Madrid, Have been clearly placed as candidates This Monday, after a meeting with the government, he represents, ensuring that they want to be a “national and international report”. “Madrid needs a space dedicated to the music, entertainment and family entertainment at the height of the major European capitals.

Specifically, the projects seek to enhance the accessibility of the housing, as well as to optimize their infrastructure. With an investment of over 10m euros, they hope to complete spring.

New festival
With these improvements in progress, the venue announced a new festival last week, Smusic Festival, An event that will understand the housing on June 27 with artists such as Maná, Weight Feather, Orisas, Cupid and Delaport.
The festival is the first major concert to be celebrated in this housing beyond Mad Cool, as its directors decided to take a “time” to regulate the space. Mad Cool’s first versions and his huge concerts Harry styles Created a bad precedent for the space that, although appointed in the latest version of Crazy cool, smallUS candidates did not want to repeat.
Good past
Exactly, the latest version of The Mad Cool International Festival was celebrated with care. THE State delegation And the municipalities of Madrid and Getafe faced a security plan that eventually ended up being approved, leaving the festival in the center of the controversy.
Candidates for the enclosure (and the festival itself) knew that they “played” very much with this edition, after Madrid Minister Mariano de Paco opened the doors in a process of cooperation with the space if Mad Cool Edition was normally developed. An investment from the festival to Metro and Cercanías To increase the frequencies and a broad security device, success has been possible.
Now, with these results, they have announced the Smusic Festival and place the housing as a place of the capital where this kind of event can take place, Since Torrejón de Ardoz is regarded as a city of festivals, hosting three important events for this summer. By the Madrid community; that then opened the doors to this collaboration, They insist on the multiplicity of spaces to make these big events in the area and to positively appreciate the technical advances made at Villaverde.
“The owners of Iberdrola spaceTogether with the candidates of the events, they make adjustments each year to minimize the suffering to neighbors in collaboration with the administrations involved. We hope that measures that will continue to be adopted Madrid Madrid.
Out -of -space improvements
Out of this housing depends, on the Getafe Municipal Council (The residents of the housing) have claimed improvements that could solve the problems from the festival, as well as improve the infrastructure of their own location. Among their requirements are better access to public transport and audio panels on the M-45.
As for the first one, the Madrid community has already prepared a plan to launch a catwalk on M-45 This will save the gap between Getafe and Villaverde. A crack that, In the latest version, it has been solved by cutting a lower step that unites both spaces.
The catwalk is a historical claim by Getafe residents. Would improve the mobility of the space and also the Getafe Field Fieldlocated just in front of the Iberdrola music housing.
This new installation, which has no date to begin, will be united with the installation of sound designs in the M-45. This point does not come directly from the festival, since it is a non -fulfilling regulation and responds to M-45 movement in this areaBut I will also add “points” to him.
These panels will be placed on both sides of the M-45 and, in addition to alleviating the noise of trucks and vehicles passing daily along the road, will connect the music that, until 2am. Finished the festival, some neighbors of Getafe and Villaverde were listening.
In addition to these two innovations, we must keep in mind that the Madrid community will launch the El Casar Metro station, at least 20 minutes walk from the housingAnd this connects this space to the Puerta del sol via the L-3 subway.
The attitude will be a reality soon, but, moreover, the Mayor of Getafe, Sara Hernández, asked to stop ‘Extra’ just for the polygon where Iberdrola music is located. The community has not talked about it.
