Primavera Sound Porto 2016 Line -Up


Today it was revealed the complete line-up of my city's main festival.
The festival will be from 9 to 11 of June and the ticket for the 3 days is 90€.

First, Primavera Sound in Porto is not only a festival it's also a great experience. Imagine watching to your favourite bands' concerts 5 minutes from the beach and sea, in a beautiful green park with 3 stages, foods, drinks, nice atmosphere and beautiful people. The only "almost bad" thing of it is that it doesn't have camping (but personally, I really don't need it).

Well, I admit I was expecting a little bit more from the line-up. I honestly was hoping for a double Suede concert just like what is going to happen in our twin brother Primavera Sound Barcelona. ~

Although we don't have Suede we have a lot of superb acts, which includes PJ Harvey, Brian Wilson, Savages, Sigur Rós, Beach House and Air between others.

This festival is becoming, or already is, the strongest Indie festival of Portugal.
But just look at the picture above to see the complete line-up and I hope to see you there at the festival!

Summer In Portugal


These last days some fantastic artists were confirmed to perform in Portugal this summer.

So, very quickly:
- Bruce Springsteen will be headlining Rock in Rio Lisboa.
- The french duo Air will be in my hometown Porto for NOS Primavera Sound.
- Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys will be here, probably also at the Primavera Sound but it's not official yet where he's going to play.
- Radiohead will play at NOS Alive festival.
- LCD Soundsystem were the first name for the mythical Paredes de Coura festival.

As the Barcelona and Porto Primavera Sound have usually very similar artists, I'm really expecting to see Suede here in the summer. They will play two times in Barcelone this year, a Night Thoughts section and a greatest hits one. It would be great also to see here PJ Harvey.

Looks like I'll spend some money in the summer.
