Love of Lesbian and The Last Dinner Party have been the other highlights of the last day of a BBK that has brought together more than a hundred bands
british band Arctic Monkeys has placed the golden brooch at the seventeenth edition of the Bilbao BBK Live festival with a powerful and careful performance in which the group led by Alex Turner has squandered talent and energy and has made the public enjoy themselves.
The crowd that crowded in front of the stage has received the British band with shouts and an enormous desire to enjoy the music on the last day of the festival for which all the tickets had been sold, with which they have accessed the venue 40,000 people.
The group has not disappointed the high expectations it had raised since it was announced as the headliner and has offered a solid concert that began with ‘Sculptures of anything goes’, a song included on their latest album, ‘The car’.
‘Brianstorm’, with its frantic beginning, has served to shake up an audience that has chanted the song and enjoyed it together with the ArcticMonkeys, as he would do next with ‘Snap out of it’ and the intense and distorted guitars of ‘Don’t sit down ’cause I’ve moved your chair’.
The musical party has continued on Mount Kobetas, with a Turner with a dandy air and a remarkable voice, with the dense ‘Crying lightning’ and its crushing bass, ‘The view from the afternoon’, another of those overwhelming opening songs and guitars torn, ‘Four out of five’ and ‘Cornerstone’.
The careful sound has allowed the public to enjoy the band’s songs, including ‘Why’d you only call me when you’re high’, a powerful ‘Arabella’, ‘I ain’t quite where I think I am’, ‘Pretty visitors’ and ‘Fluorescent adolescent’.
With the groundbreaking ‘Do I wanna know?’, Arctic Monkeys has entered the final stretch of a concert that until then had not disappointed, and that was not going to do so for the rest, with songs like ‘Mardybum’ and the elegant and calm ‘There’d better be a mirrorball’, the first single from his latest album.
Afterwards, two spotlights have illuminated a disco ball, with the name of the band, located at the top of the stage and ‘505’, one of the band’s most representative songs, and ‘Body paint’, with which Turner and company have momentarily left the stage.
The encores remained, an extra time planned to continue enjoying the concert that has been covered with the delicate ‘I wanna be yours’, with another of those songs with an immense title, ‘I bet you look good on the dancefloor’, and with the energy from ‘RU Mine?’, which closed the Arctic Monkeys performance.
Also notable on this last day of the festival was the performance of Love of Lesbian, who has returned to Bilbao BBK Live after the concert they offered in 2016 and which was their first appearance at the Biscayne festival, although this time they did so in the second scenery.
The ‘Epic Journey to Nothing’, the theme that gives the title to their eighth and, up to now, last studio album, has served the band led by Santi Balmes to open a superb performance before a dedicated audience that, judging by their dances, jumps and shouting has enjoyed.
The public has shown that they know their songs by heart, and although some have been found to be missing, they have sung along with Balmes songs such as ‘Nobody in the streets’, ‘Under the volcano’ and, above all, ‘IMT (Transitory moral incapacity) ‘, ‘John Boy’s fan club’, ‘When you don’t see me’ and ‘There where we used to scream’, which closed the performance.
The one who has taken to the main stage has been The Last Dinner Party, a female group that emerged from the British underground that recently debuted with the single ‘Nothing matters’ and that started 15 minutes late, when it was already playing on the small Cala Vento stage.
Bilbao BBK Live has thus closed its seventeenth edition with three days of music in which more than 100 concerts had been programmed with Florence + The Machine, Pavement and Arctic Monkeys as headliners and performances by Phoenix, The Chemical Brothers and Duki, among other.
