Jason Derulo Draws Record Crowd to Vigo’s Castrelos in 35°C Heat

Vigo’s city council attributes the turnout to adaptive rescheduling paired with free platea tickets before August’s opera followed by a reggae showcase.

Overview

  • Derulo’s sold-out concert outdrew simultaneous local events to become the highest-attended show of the summer at the open-air auditorium.
  • The date was moved from August 8 to August 3 to resolve technical-equipment logistics and align with Vigo’s Cristo de la Victoria procession.
  • Mayor Abel Caballero opened the evening by dubbing the crowd “the best audience in the world” before Derulo delivered an extended set that included hits such as Swalla and debuted his viral track 'Dame un Grr'.
  • Thousands queued for hours under scorching temperatures to secure proximity to the stage as Derulo showcased energetic choreography and hit tracks until after midnight.
  • Castrelos remains on track to host Puccini’s Turandot on August 9, UB40 Live Featuring Ali Campbell on August 15, and India Martínez on August 16.
