The Puerto Rican singer performed this Saturday at the Cook Music Fest in Seville, but his show lasted only 60 minutes, provoking complaints among attendees who paid up to 80 euros for the ticket.
The Cook Music Fest in Seville promised to be the night of reggaeton in the Andalusian capital, with Don Omar as the headliner. However, the concert on Saturday at the La Cartuja stadium has left a trail of outrage among attendees, who claim that the Puerto Rican artist performed for barely an hour.
A Show That Left Fans Wanting More
Don Omar took to the stage shortly after ten in the evening and, after performing hits like Dale Don Dale, Repórtense, and Guaya guaya, he said goodbye without warning before eleven. Influencer Cristina Sorroche, who was present at the event, has been one of the most critical voices on social media. "We thought it was a joke. They set up the screens, the exits, and it was no joke at all," she stated in an Instagram video.
The surprise was immense for many, who expected a longer concert. "I paid a fortune and ended up with this," complained another attendee on Twitter. The festival, which started at six in the afternoon with performances by Greeicy and Farruko, had initially been advertised as an event focused on Don Omar, although the organisation later included other artists.
The Debate on Social Media: Was It a Festival or an Exclusive Concert?
The controversy has sparked an intense debate on social media. While some argue that the full lineup had been known for months, others claim that the first tickets were sold as a "exclusive concert by Don Omar" and that the other artists were added later. "If I had known it was a festival, I might not have paid so much," explained a user on Facebook.
Don Omar himself, during the show, made a comment that many now interpret as a warning: "
When you all get tired, let me know and we'll leave". What seemed like a joke has become the centre of the controversy.
The Attendees' Reaction: From Euphoria to Frustration
The attendees, who filled the La Cartuja venue, went from initial euphoria to frustration in a matter of minutes. "I can't believe it, he literally didn't say goodbye," Sorroche lamented. Complaints have multiplied on platforms like Instagram and Twitter, where many are demanding explanations from the organisers.
The Cook Music Fest had generated great anticipation in Seville, with all tickets sold out. However, the brevity of Don Omar's concert has overshadowed the evening. "Tell me that all of you who paid for your tickets feel the same way I do," the influencer added in her post, which has already garnered thousands of reactions.
So far, neither the festival organisers nor Don Omar's representative have commented on the controversy. Attendees are awaiting a response, while the debate over whether the show was a scam or a misunderstanding continues on social media.
