Crowds, delays and tacos mark the return of Lollapalooza attendees on its first day | lollapalooza_special


Around 11:40 p.m. yesterday, Friday, Lollapalooza ended the opening day of its tenth version in the country, the first in the Cerrillos Bicentennial Park.

At least 50,000 people witnessed the closing show by Foo Fightersa band that as a surprise added the founder of the event, Perry Farrell, to the stage.

Once the recital was over, at the time of leaving the venue, the problems were not few for the attendees. Both the accesses through Avenida Departamental and Avenida Pedro Aguirre Cerda registered delays in their flow, which generated queues, long delays and blocks.

After midnight, around the Cerrillos Bicentennial Park, the situation did not change much. Packed buses, passers-by forcing the doors to enter, lines at bus stops and crowds waiting for locomotion were the constant until at least an hour and a half after the end of the show.

Despite the special plan that public transport arranged for the occasion, with extraordinary and exclusive routes, the problems in the return even affected those who came in private vehicles.

The blocks spread in both directions of Pedro Aguirre Cerda avenue, and on the side of the sidewalks, the panorama did not change. According to reports by auditors from La Radio, the situation in the Metro was similar.

recommendations

For those who attend Lollapalooza Chile, both this Saturday and tomorrow, Sunday, the main recommendation is to plan your trip in advance, taking into account various aspects.

One of them, perhaps the main one, is the distance that separates the surface where Lollapalooza itself takes place from the exit accesses (at least 15 minutes walking).

For those waiting for private vehicles, the advice is to schedule the boardings outside the immediate radius of these departures, since carrying them out in the area becomes basically impossible.
