“We have limits to follow, we follow them.” At the end of the line, Nick Farkas, vice-president of concerts and events at EvenCo, said he was sorry so many people were upset by Rammstein’s concert at Ile Sainte-Helen. “The concert ended at 10:20 p.m….”, he adds.
On Sunday, on social networks, people from Saint-Lambert, Longueuil, Boucherville and Saint-Bruno said they heard the concert in their homes. Some wrote The walls of their house are creating a lot of vibrations.
In various media, the mayor of Saint-Lambert, Pascale Mongrain, declared that the German rockers’ scene was “extraordinarily loud and disturbing”.

She said that about 20 complaints have been received from citizens.
Nick Farkas has heard about thirty complaints. But he didn’t know if Evenko had received calls from some towns in Monteregi. “We talk to the park often [Jean-Drapeau]. We make sure that the restrictions are respected.
“We never want to cause harm. I am always disappointed to know that there are people who complain,” continues the promoter. […] We worked on this show for three and a half years. We are fortunate to be the only city in Canada and one of the few in America to host the show. 45,000 people want to see the show.
In 2019, Evenco opened a new amphitheater in Parc Jean-Drapeau at a cost of $73 million.
While renovating the space, the developer thought about how to improve noise control.
“We have spent a lot of money over the years [d’argent] Try to ensure that sound travels as little as possible over the technology. This is important to us, says Nick Farkas. […] Setting up delay towers will cause the noise to be directional. This resulted in fewer complaints.
