More about the Music of the Stars Concert

I’ve been wondering how many people they thought they could get up at the Roque, given the need for things like parking and toilets. According to Canarias 7 (in Spanish) the answer is “perhaps 2,000”. The idea is to transmit the concert to huge, open-air screens in each of the Canary Islands, and also in Madrid and London, and maybe Paris and Brussels.

Jean-Michel Jarre and Brian May are said to be enthusiastic about the project. They aren’t the only ones. I can hardly wait.
