Overview

• La Revuelta planned a street finale after ten months of preparation featuring a batucada, parade and a slide entrance for Estopa and had secured permits for 250 attendees.
• A misreported news story falsely claimed Estopa would stage a free concert with street closures, prompting hundreds to gather in the Plaza de Callao.
• Authorities revoked the event’s permit and cited safety concerns, leading La Revuelta to cancel the planned street spectacle on June 19, 2025.
• The media outlet behind the erroneous report issued an apology, admitting its coverage unintentionally triggered the cancellation.
• Despite the cancellation, Estopa appeared in-studio that evening as hosts David Broncano and Jorge Ponce explained the decision and quipped that it had “saved lives.”
