So at midnight they came to stage and presents a big repertour of big hits and new songs at the Estrella Damm stage. The truth is that the Chicago band head by a excentric Billy Corgan dressed like and cyber indian didnt fill the big expectations of the crowd.

Later on Rockdelux stage got full to recieve one of the hypes concerts presenting The White Stripes playing a few carrer hits and the new album Icky Thump. The duo dressed with red white uniform, seems like time havent’s pass for them since the Seven Nation Army or maybe even early records and thats maybe not the best thing to say about a band.
