Believe it or not, they've done quite a lot of concerts there but apparently, after what happened at TS concert, they want to stop ^^'

yeah, i read that people were complaining it felt like an earthquake, an archaeologists are pissed. i think the city councilman quoted at the end of the nyt’s article on it is on the take.

It's an open field next to an archeological area, it's not that different from most festivals I've been at. This one was an absolute fucking mess because crowd control was nonexistent and the barriers sucked.

I've been to several concerts there and it was always great! Like, I've seen Måneskin and Bruce Springsteen there, so not exactly quiet crowds, and it was an absolute positive. I'm gonna go ahead and assume it was Travis who's at fault for shit poor organisation.
