WE UPDATE today September 16, Andrés has released this video attached below.

Andres Suarez, message on Facebook:
“I write about the friend role of technicians, musicians, professionals of this wonderful sector called ‘culture’. My heart with them more than ever. I will not pronounce in this state on the abominable words of our minister. The best technicians and musicians of this The country is selling their equipment to survive, looking for whatever job it is, seeing that there is no support, help and without knowing how to endure more months with zero income. What are you telling me, José Manuel … I maintain that the first lifeboats must be for those who lost everything, the most affected; here next door there are families asking for food.
I will continue to help as much as I can to those who need us most and first, but I think it is time to fight for mine too, for the hoteliers who supported me for almost twenty years and today they have their rooms closed watching full bullrings on TV . For the musicians and technicians who cannot go out to work seeing the trains, buses and subways overflowing. For the cycles and festivals that those above cancel without further ado, where I did not see such security measures anywhere, where there was not a single contagion.
Canceling without more, closing without more, without an alternative solution seems deeply unfair to me. Did I tell you that today I arrived on a plane where there wasn’t even a free seat? These professionals are the first who want to do things just as well, work safely. That’s all. What really matters, lesson learned, is health.
If the nightmare repeats itself, let’s stop everything. It will be a disaster, but it will be ours and we will go out, together. I do not know if the toilets could bear the experience again. That, the first thing. However: the thing of continuing to cancel concerts and cycles just like that without giving them the opportunity to continue demonstrating a #safeculture must end. For some so much and for others nothing? How’s the move going, José Manuel? Sorry, Santiago, home. I know there were people who came from afar with planes and paid hotels. Of course, the ticket will be valid for the new dates: June 4 and 5, 2021.
This was going to be the reunion with # elbandón, to whom I send another huge hug, as if that would work. Sorry, Zaragoza, Gijón, Bilbao and Murcia. Our concerts have been canceled. We are already looking for new dates for each city and the money for the tickets will be paid to you in the next few days. Now I hug my whole office: @rlm, you are incredible. Thanks.
I was the luckiest person in the world getting back on so many stages this summer, ALWAYS complying with strict security measures that, in my heart, I had not seen before. I insist: zero contagion at concerts. The culture is safe, as it is certain that we will not stop demanding justice before it is too late. A big hug. Let’s take good care of ourselves. #CULTURASSAFE “
