Restaurants, bars, hotels, taxis and shops, among others, get a slice of the Cuesta del Batel music festival, which will feature Scorpions and Europe this Saturday
The Rock Imperium Festival sounds not only for lovers of heavy metal this weekend, but also for restaurants, bars, shops, security and assembly companies, taxis, hotels, tourist apartments and endless businesses in Cartagena. They will be the great beneficiaries of these three days in which the live music that will come out of the three stages installed on the Cuesta del Batel will bring together more than 40,000 people.
In the hotels there is not even a free room, as in the tourist apartments. The bars and restaurants will cash in, some more than others, like those that have set up bars on the street to serve beer and sandwiches. Among them, Low ceilings and Hotel Los Habaneros.
The rock fans who will pass through the venue are also letting themselves be seen in the shops and are even taking the opportunity to get to know the city, visiting the museums and interpretation centres. In addition, taxi drivers will be able to make unlimited services between the park and ride facilities and the festival facilities, while the concerts last.
safety device
To make all this possible, a special security device has been set up, not only around the festival, but throughout the city, to avoid altercations. Traffic has also been cut on the Cuesta del Batel, on the Adarve de Artillería and on the way up to the Muralla del Mar Campus. These same cuts will take place this Saturday, from 12 noon, until the end of the festival scheduled for 4:00 a.m.
Today twenty groups play, including Avantasia, Black Label Society, Amorphis or Leprous. The third and last day of the festival will feature this Saturday, among others, the German band Scorpions, who will give their only concert in Spain at 10:05 p.m. He will do it on the presentation tour of his latest album, ‘Rock Believer’. For its part, the Swedish band Europe will leave three hours earlier to also give its only concert in Spain on its farewell tour of the stage. It will do so at the same time that the EnorgulleCT 2022 demonstration will depart from the Plaza de España, to go through the streets of Carmen, Puerta de Murcia and Mayor, to the City Hall, where a manifesto will be read.
