The celebration of the Festival de Les Arts, scheduled at the City of Arts and Sciences, continues to await a technical and administrative review. While other festivals have opted to relocate due to the consequences of a judicial ruling on noise, Les Arts maintains its programming at the venue, although the uncertainty breeds doubt, especially with tickets sold out and no announced schedules.

Focus is now on the documentation submitted by CACSA and the festival promoter to prove compliance with acoustic regulations. The Valencia City Council issued a request, and the documents have been submitted and are being analyzed by a municipal technical team. The council has reiterated its commitment to ensuring regulatory compliance, reminding that CACSA was formally asked for all necessary documentation before the setup could begin.

Meanwhile, at the City of Arts and Sciences, the lakes adjacent to L'Hemisfèric and the Science Museum have been drained as a precautionary measure should the festival infrastructure be installed. If the documentation convinces the authorities, approval will need to be 'surgical,' as the court that issued the ruling rejected a request to relax the procedure, emphasizing that it is the administration's responsibility to verify noise levels are respected.

Residents have insisted on full compliance with the ruling. Bigsound festival director, Miguel Torres, admitted that the 85 decibels maximum permitted by municipal regulations are a challenge 'practically impossible' to hear clearly, suggesting that the Festival de Les Arts is seeking a way to make it feasible.
