Works at the Fira de Barcelona complex moved La Mercè's closing show from Maria Cristina to Nova Icària. Around 121000 people watched the music and fireworks from the beach and higher points across Barcelona.
Works affecting the Fira de Barcelona complex and the usual Maria Cristina venue led Barcelona to move its La Mercè finale to Nova Icària. Around 121000 people watched the show last night. Thousands more viewed it from higher points across the city.
Europa Press reported the attendance figure and confirmed that the beach hosted the Piromusical for the first time. The Barcelona City Council also reported the figure after the performance ended the city's festivities.
The new setting changed the event's physical scale. The core format stayed the same: music matched with a coordinated fireworks display.
The Piromusical moved to Nova Icària because of works affecting the Fira de Barcelona complex and the usual Maria Cristina venue, according to 3Cat.
Nova Icària was more than a backdrop.
Josep Montero selected and prepared the music for the production. He is the singer and leader of Oques Grasses. Marçal Cruz handled the final mix. Cruz is a designer and sound technician from the Oido studio.
3Cat and RTVE confirmed Montero's role in choosing the music. Pirotècnia Igual supplied the fireworks and synchronised them with the soundtrack.
The result was one combined performance. Music and pyrotechnics worked as a single show.
La Vanguardia reported that the previous year’s Piromusical attracted around 110000 people at Maria Cristina. The comparison indicates that the change of venue preserved the event’s large public reach.
That sound also connected the finale with Oques Grasses. The available material does not include a track list or details about individual fireworks sequences.
The confirmed picture is clear. Montero prepared the soundtrack. Oido completed the mix. Pirotècnia Igual staged the pyrotechnic display.
Barcelona's coastline became the main viewing area. Higher points across the city widened the audience beyond the beach.
The scale was substantial.
Betevé described the production as a live audiovisual show with synchronised music and fireworks. The broadcaster said it was carried live across several platforms.
This seaside edition also follows the musical direction described in an earlier report about the new Piromusical format and Oques Grasses' central role.
The show is now complete. Its first Nova Icària edition closed La Mercè before around 121000 attendees.
Barcelona combined a new coastal venue with a locally rooted soundtrack. Professional teams synchronised the pyrotechnics with the music. Nova Icària became the stage for this year's final image.
