That evening, sources say protesters threw rocks at vans taking, a promoter at Bizarro Entertainment who was also the general producer of Viña del Mar, and none of the artists canceled their sets. “But we did have artists calling to ask what was going on.”
Discontent in Chile reached a boiling point on Oct. 18, 2019, when thousands of students protested a spike in subway fares. That day, Merino was producing the second of four shows byat Movistar Arena. “They called me literally in the middle of the concert,” he says. “I turned on the television backstage, and I saw the army in the streets.
