Director for the District Institute of the Arts, Santiago Trujillo, was extremely pleased with how Colombia’s biggest music festival went this past weekend. He noted that while attendance fell compared to previous shows, that the crowd’s behavior was the best it had been in years.

Trujillo highlighted the performance of Colombian group Sicotropico, or Psychotropic, who received the greatest amount of crowd preference votes.

Other bands that played were NOFX, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Blonde Redhead along with Colombian bands Systema Solar and Seis Peatones.
