Diogo Piçarra

Altice Arena, Lisboa Rossio dos Olivais, Lisbon

Diogo Piçarra's South Side Boy Tour debuts at the largest concert hall in the country, the Altice Arena. This will be the first time that the artist will give a concert in his own name in this room, and it will also be the first time that he will present the songs from the new album “South Side Boy” live. Diogo Piçarra arrives at Altice Arena after a break of more than a year from the country's great stages, having, during 2019, performed a very successful acoustic tour in the main national auditoriums, with more than 30 sold out concerts.

Bloom, JP Simões

Teatro Académico de Gil Vicente, Coimbra Praça da República, Coimbra

The Phantom of Liberty. "Drafty Moon" is a combat, shadow dissipation, enlightenment and detoxification disc. Far from the dormant bucolism of "Tremble Like a Flower", Bloom’s discographic debut, this second breath brings a more assertive attitude, sometimes close to punk (but only spiritually), with whistles of energy sometimes overflowing, sometimes tense and restrained as an outburst. Although eclectic in the variety of styles it manages to conjure, the album is traversed by a constant tension between shadow and light, firmly anchored in the lyrics and voice of JP Simões and finely woven into the narrative architecture of the arrangements, Exemplary marriage between acoustic and electronic elements, and in the lead Miguel Nicolau exuberant. With its restlessness and its dramas ofdeception and disagreement, in the unhealthy galloping of the great human machine that corrodes freedom and nature with a commercial smile, "Drafty Moon" manages to be a full record of a subtle and salutary good humor: as if, on the verge of sinking into treacherous quicksand, our American hero could still say with an unbearable smile: "One day we will laugh at all this".

Peste & Sida

ACERT Associação Cultural e Recreativa de Tondela R. Dr. Ricardo Mota 79, Tondela

A mythical Portuguese rock band takes the stage and there will be no shortage of songs that everyone knows by heart. Formed in the summer of 1986, fleeing the mainstream by principle and conviction, Peste & Sida are now more than a band, assuming themselves almost as a lifestyle. Plague and AIDS is like group therapy.
