Yesterday was a bad day for European fans of Rolling Stones. And a good day in the offices of FC Barcelona after knowing that the rock band has dismissed its plans to make a concert tour of various European cities along this spring and summer. His first stop was Barcelona. And, as they have always done when they visit the Catalan capital, the British plan was to play in the Olimpic Lluís Companys in a single concert in mid -May.
Assembly tasks extended for a week or more, so the idea of Doctor Music, promoter of the Stones, was to reserve the Olympic facilities during that time. If so, it was unfeasible that Barcelona, which Montjuïc reserved until April 23, celebrated in the same enclosure the classic planned against Real Madrid on May 11. That Mick Jagger’s band, Keith Richards and Ron Wood will not play in Montjuïc on those dates is great news for Laporta, which, after meeting her, gave the order to request a permission from Barcelona Serveis Municipals (BSM) to end This season on the Magic Mountain.

In 2017, the Stones had to visit Barcelona in May and did so in September
The Rolling Stones have not indicated the reasons why they renounce to celebrate the tour in May and June, or if the plans are postponed until after the summer. Nor will they do it because the tour was not officially announced. But it would not be the first time they change plans with its promoter. For example, in 2017, its presence in Barcelona was also scheduled for May, and finally arrived in September.
In any case, Barcelona insists that its first plan remains to return to the Spotify Camp Nou in May with a limited capacity of 64,000 subscribers between the first and the second stand. And that extending the Montjuïc permission until May 20, 2025 is “a prevention measure, which is why efforts will be intensified in the spotify Camp Nou to achieve it.”
Currently, these efforts are channeled by some 3,000 workers of the Turkish company Limak who are focused on finishing about 800 daily seats of the first and second grader. There are few to install. In about two weeks, the Barça calendar stipulates that operators should begin to condition the pitch by taking out the machinery of the future field. Then it will take about 10 weeks to install the grass and irrigation systems. At the same time, they continue to underpin the structure of the third grass, in which the skeleton of the two VIP rings is already perceived. They are also moving part of the material of the works to the land that Barça has in Can Rigal.
To expedite the process, the Blaugrana entity works simultaneously to get a City Council permission in order to establish a third work shift either activating the night option or expanding the schedule on the weekend. Both parties will meet at the beginning of next week to assess this extension.

Barça works to get permission to establish a night shift or expand the weekend schedule
Currently, the usual schedule of the works with the use of exterior machinery is from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday, with consent to continue between eight in the afternoon and 12 at night if they do not cause rumble or light pollution In the North Gol. On the other hand, in the South goal the works must end at 10 pm. It also works on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., but without using the open work plant in the Miniestadi area. Inside the field you can work until twelve at night as long as noise is made. It should be remembered that the residents of Les Corts have filed several complaints about the noise of the works.
The construction company Limak at all times has sent him to Barcelona that work as quickly as possible. But in no case the Turks have talked about a definitive return date.
In the month of June, the season ended, the club plans to incorporate the Italian subcontracting company into the works to install the field cover.
In total, around 1,400 tons of cable for the roof structure, which will arrive from Germany, Italy and France, will be needed. The forecasts indicate that Limak and the Italian company will need between three and four months to build it. Therefore, club sources say that they have already asked LaLiga for permission so that the course that has been starting with Barcelona playing at least three games away from home. The entity will grow more time taking into account the selections stops of the months of September and October.
Once the installation of the cover wiring ends, the fifth phase will arrive, the placement of the membrane of the same, which will be extended in principle until March 2026. The plan indicates that this phase can already be carried out with public in The stadium, so Barcelona has not asked BSM, at least for now, extend its stay in Montjuïc.
The licenses that Barça needs
Beyond the rhythm of the works and other imponderables, Barcelona needs the sports permits of LaLig Fans go with a third grass under construction. The ideal plan of the club is that this first phase of works is ready in mid -April so that the cited agencies give them time to study the land before the aforementioned month ends. But in the club they also know that obtaining the consistory placets is neither easy nor fast. In addition, currently there is still the construction license for the lateral parking lot of an underground parking lot of 4,000 seats.
