We are only a few days away from the 2018 edition of Force Fest, que si bien no es la primera edición en la existencia del festival, si es la más grande y ambiciosa, pudiendo equipararse a su “hermano mayor”, el Hell and Heaven.
We set out to travel to the municipality of Teotihuacán to witness with our own eyes how the process of construction and production of Force Fest 2018 is within the golf course, the venue chosen by Live Talent to carry out the event, which is being conditioned and perfected to receive the tens of thousands of rock fans who will be present on October 6 and 7 to witness.
The numbers that Force Fest 2018 they handle are great. Very large, to be specific: 110 bands, spread over 6 stages, a venue that is many hectares long, millions of dollars in investment, an entrance estimated at 50,000 people per day, a camping area with all the necessary services [and Notably Live Talent contrató para ello a una empresa especializada en el tema, que se ha encargado de producir áreas similares en los mejores festivales del mundo y no solo de rock], varias áreas de descanso y cientos de elementos de seguridad que garanticen la integridad de todos los asistentes, hacen que el mote de “hermano menor del Hell and Heaven” quede totalmente fuera de idea.
Regarding the venue, we must say that it does not ask for anything from the venues to whom the average Mexican festivals have accustomed us, only with a plus: it will make us live an experience without equal in our country. The terrain is beautiful and comfortable. Do you want to take advantage of the day before the festival and visit the archaeological zone? You can do it with ease, as public transport drops you at the entrance in just a few minutes. In addition, the proximity to the town of San Juan Teotihuacán [who is literally crossing the road] gives visitors the opportunity to get food, drinks and everything they need without having to move around too much.
Platicando con los pobladores del lugar, pudimos saber que la lluvia en la zona es escasa – lo cual también se puede constatar por el ambiente caluroso, casi podríamos decir que semiárido del ambiente – por lo que la posibilidad de lluvia durante el festival es muy poca. ¿Y cómo lidiar con el calor? ¡No hay problema! La organización del festival proveerá de forma gratuita agua y lugares de sombra para todos los asistentes.
The camping area is quite wide, flat and will have all the necessary services so that the people who stay to sleep in the place can do it as if they were at home. The cost of the ticket for this area, called Force VillageIt already includes toilets, showers so you can bathe, electric light, 24-hour security and even a mini-supermarket so you can buy food and hygiene products. Ah! Of course, in the area there is a species of rodent called tuza, which make their burrows throughout the Teotihuacán valley, but don't worry, they are harmless. And no, don't confuse them with rats.
For those who travel by car, they can find enough parking [of course, with an extra cost which you can check here], which will also have security all day for the peace of mind of vehicle owners. Will the space be enough for everyone? We believe yes, without problem.
So if you had doubts about attending Force Fest 2018, you can take them off at once and live an unparalleled experience in the history of festivals in our country, with a production that seeks to match the great European events. Will they succeed? We are sure that yes.
