Among the public there were so many people who followed them from festival to festival in their beginnings, as well as young people who had never seen them live and who had discovered them through their parents. Minutes before the concert, some attendees told ACN what they expected to experience inside the stadium. Maria, a young woman who met the group through her motherI was expecting older and newer songs: “They’ll play a little bit of everything.” Alba, on the other hand, has celebrated being able to go to the concert with her daughters, to whom she has said that they are “very excited”. “We followed them for years when we were very young and our daughters, unfortunately, had not yet been able to see them live,” he explained.

This Saturday was not the first concert by Antònia Font de Joaquim, who has detailed that he already saw them a few years ago when they played at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, of which he has “a spectacular memory”. For this reason, he was “super happy” with the reunion of the group “and being able to see them live”. Also Júlia has said that she had already seen them before “perhaps ten years ago quietly” in the main festival of Terrassa, so the show at Sant Jordi makes him “illusion”.
