The third edition of the Pollença Rock festival will take place on July 7 and 8, and its program will include exclusive concerts this summer, such as the performances by Fora des Sembrat and Sau, during the first day.

The operation to lift the 20-ton rock beneath which the man was trapped after a rockfall early Tuesday morning in Cala Sant Esteve, El Castell, Menorca, concluded this evening with the recovery of his body. In addition to the man, who was approximately 65 years old, a woman was injured when the large rock fell, according to sources from the SAMU 061 emergency service. The rockfall caused a boulder to fall onto the building, trapping two people inside. SAMU 061 personnel, firefighters, and the Civil Guard were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, paramedics located the people trapped under the rock. One of the victims, a man of approximately 65 years of age, died at the scene. The other victim, a woman in her sixties, was rescued in serious condition and taken to Mateu Orfila Hospital after the activation of the severe polytrauma protocol. Firefighters are carrying out maintenance work to prevent further landslides.

The Menorca Fire Chief, Juanjo Franch, attributed the rockfall that killed a man on Tuesday to the rain and dense vegetation. Emergency services, Franch explained, carried out safety work on the structure of the three-story building and are removing debris that fell onto the roof. The mayor of Castell, Lluís Camps, detailed that the affected couple lived on the ground floor, while some of their children and their families lived on the first and second floors. All of them were evacuated because, according to the Fire Chief, drone footage detected cracks in the cliff face that could cause further rockfalls. For this reason, residents of neighboring houses were also evacuated, and work will continue to secure the cliff face and remove the existing vegetation.

Death is never welcome. Much less so when it's the death of a friend. Christian Völker Llull (Manacor, 1962) left us the day before Christmas Eve, a victim of illness. Far too soon for a person with such captivating energy and attitude. Always ready to defend, courageous in attack, projects sprang from him and he pursued them with the punk passion that always drove him. One of the last times we saw each other, at his house, we talked about music (always music) and aboutPunk in LondonA 1977 German documentary featuring the new bands on the English scene, which, of course, we watched in its entirety.
