Sun, February 1, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Coliseu dos Recreios
The tour of Epica, Amaranthe is: "Arcane Dimensions Tour".
This was my 2nd epica show. I saw them for the first time in 2023/02/14. Story here: Epica + Apocalyptica 2023-02-14 Coliseu de Lisboa, Lisbon
And this was a show with 3 bands, Charlotte Wessels and the Obsession (1st band), Amaranthe (2nd band) and Epica (3rd band).
I arrived at Coliseu dos Recreios at 13:30. Was raining.
During the day, I talked to some fans that I already knew.
I arrived later because I had already purchased the VIP packages for Epica and Amaranthe. I had received an email instructing me to be there at 16h.
Around 17h finally they called the Epica VIP buyers and then the Amaranthe VIP buyers.
First we went to the Epica VIP area where they signed our merchandising (I had the vinyl "The Ghost In Me" they gave us on the VIP package) first and then took our picture with the band (Simone was not present). Talked a little to the guys of the band. They were all very friendly.
And right after that I went to the Amaranthe VIP area. Autographs first and then the picture. They autographed a poster. They were cool. Elize Ryd even ask me my name. I told her and the rest of the guys that I was very happy to finally see them live. I told them that I like their music since I first heard the song "Amaranthine". Also that I like their energy on stage, always moving around.
We had to wait a little more to get inside the Arena because someone was still rehearsing. We got in at 18:20. I just got in to the middle of front row (1 meter to the left of the middle in my case).
Scheduled times next.
18:00 General doors
19:00 Show was scheduled to start "Charlotte Wessels and the Obsession"
20:10 Show was scheduled to start "Amaranthe"
22:00 Show was scheduled to start "Epica"

We had 2 bands playing before Epica.
Before "Epica" Coliseu de Lisboa, played 1st band Charlotte Wessels and the Obsession (Dutch Singer), they started at 19:05 and played 42 minutes. Played a set of 7 songs.
I like her voice and the rest of the band was awesome. I already knew at least 1 song: Dopamine. I also loved the song: Soft Revolution. They were amazing.

Simple Minds 2017-05-05 Facebook Official, Some Words From Lisbon - A Night Overflowing With Energy
https://www.facebook.com/simpleminds/posts/1335299059883360
http://canelaehortela.com/simples-minds-fizeram-reviver-euforia-dos-anos-80/
They opened with "New Gold Dream" and not a minute after stepping on stage, Jim Kerr was already giving a hand to an element of the audience. He knelt down, rolled the microphone in the air and realized that this would be an unusual acoustic concert. In the second minute of action, the singer walked out the side area of the stage and into the enclosure by the access door to the audience. He came to greet his admirers! Never stop singing, allowed to hold and shoot for who approached him. He came along to the control room to greet people who were on the balcony and wave to the boxes and then returned to the stage.
The concert was held in great excitement, Jim Kerr thrilled the audience out of the chairs to dance. "See the Lights", "Glittering Prize", "Mandela Day" and "Chelsea Girl" were the themes that followed.
In between, the singer shared moments with the audience in a relaxed and fun approach. He began by making fun of his own Scottish accent thick as "the real James Bond, Sean Connery, you see?".
He then toyed with the huge chandelier hanging over the stage, only decorative element of the scenario. also recalled the first pass through our country in Cascais, a Peter Gabriel's opening concert. Between laughs, the singer said he made the drive from Glasgow to here. At the time, "was all drugs, it is now smothies and sushi-Pushi" ... he says.
Before "Stand by Love" explained that this idea of doing an acoustic format emerged 20 years ago. "The idea took ...". The greatest fear of the band was that the result was a boring concert. Far from it, and this set is closer to pop rock, it continued with "Someone Somewhere in Summertime."
A more serene moment began with "Waterfront." This was followed by a tribute to David Bowie, during which called Gordy Goudie ahead, to sing "Andy Warhol". He spared no praise for the guitarist. He explained that, in the most difficult moments, Gordy always been there for the band. Then handed the microphone to Sarah Brown, voice choir, which ensured an interesting version of the original theme of Patti Smith's "Dancing Barefoot".
One of the issues that could not miss in the alignment was "Do not You Forget About Me." All accompanied feet. Arms air letter more than decorated. The party continued with "Sanctify Yourself" and gave a brief withdrawal of the band.
Returning for the encore, Jim Kerr respond to repeated requests for "Alive & Kicking". "Yes ... but we still want to sing some tunes other before." For "Promised You a Miracle" he calls KT Tunstall, the singer who secured the first part of the concert. KT also participated in the recording of the album Acoustic and Jim says that as soon as the singer went into the studio, "was she who dictated the rules."
No big surprise, but with genuine emotion, the night ended with "Alive & Kicking". Translation of an acoustic concert is for the Simple Minds, something that goes beyond the idea of a room covered with candle lights.
It is a night to overflowing energy in you realize that they really like what they do and especially the contact with the public. The concert took place at the Coliseum, but the environment he felt was closer to the stage of euphoria.

Simple Minds 2017-05-04 Canela & Hortelã, Simples Minds Fizeram Reviver A Euforia Dos Anos 80 (in portuguese)
http://canelaehortela.com/simples-minds-fizeram-reviver-euforia-dos-anos-80/
Simple Minds
Quando pensamos num concerto acústico, imaginamos um ambiente intimista, luz fraca, plateia sentada a assistir atenta, sem grande movimentação. O que os Simple Minds demonstraram ontem, no Coliseu dos Recreios, desde o primeiro minuto, é que pode ser tudo isso, mas também uma grande festa.
Os Simple Minds são uma grande banda, que construiu uma sólida carreira. Encheram estádios e hoje, ao celebrar 40 anos de atividade, mantém a simplicidade e humildade de dar ao público toda a atenção e carinho que este espera de um grande artista (e poucas vezes recebe).
Abriram com “New Gold Dream” e nem um minuto depois de pisar o palco, Jim Kerr já estava a dar a mão a um elemento da plateia. Ajoelhou-se, rodou o microfone no ar e percebemos que este iria ser um concerto acústico invulgar. No segundo minuto de atuação, o vocalista saiu pela zona lateral do palco e entrou no recinto pela porta de acesso à plateia. Veio cumprimentar os seus admiradores! Sem nunca parar de cantar, deixou-se abraçar e fotografar por quem o abordou. Veio junto à régie cumprimentar as pessoas que se encontravam no balcão e acenar para os camarotes e só depois voltou para o palco.
O Coliseu estaria longe de estar cheio, ocupado por um público maduro. Antes de chegarem os cabelos brancos aos presentes, os Simple Minds foram a banda sonora de quem viveu nos anos 80. Alguns dos seus grandes êxitos foram hinos de verão, repetidos nas discotecas da moda.
O concerto decorreu em grande euforia, com Jim Kerr a empolgar a plateia a sair das cadeiras e a dançar. “See the Lights”, “Glittering Prize”, “Mandela Day” e “Chelsea Girl” foram os temas que se seguiram. Pelo meio, o vocalista partilhou momentos com o público numa abordagem descontraída e divertida. Começou por gozar com o seu próprio sotaque escocês cerrado, tal como “o verdadeiro James Bond, Sean Connery, estão a ver?”. Brincou com o enorme candelabro pendurado sobre o palco, único elemento decorativo do cenário. Recordou ainda a primeira passagem pelo nosso país, em Cascais, num concerto de abertura de Peter Gabriel. Entre risos, o cantor contou que fizeram a viagem de carro desde Glasgow até cá. Na altura, “era só drogas, agora é mais smothies e sushi-pushi”…diz.
Antes de “Stand by Love” explicou que esta ideia de fazer um formato acústico surgiu há 20 anos. “A ideia demorou…”. O maior receio da banda era que o resultado fosse um concerto aborrecido. Longe disso, e até mais perto do pop rock, continuaram com “Someone Somewhere in Summertime”.
Um momento mais sereno começou com “Waterfront”. Seguiu-se uma homenagem a David Bowie, durante a qual chamou Gordy Goudie à frente, para cantar “Andy Warhol”. Não poupou elogios ao guitarrista. Explicou que, nos momentos mais duros, Gordy sempre esteve lá, pela banda. De seguida entregou o microfone a Sarah Brown, voz do coro, que assegurou uma interessante versão do tema original de Patti Smith “Dancing Barefoot”.
Um dos temas que não podia faltar no alinhamento foi “Don’t You Forget About Me”. Todos acompanharam de pé. Braços no ar, letra mais do que decorada. A festa continuou com “Sanctify Yourself” e deu-se uma breve retirada da banda.
Ao regressar, para o encore, Jim Kerr responde aos insistentes pedidos de “Alive & Kicking”. “Já lá vamos… ainda quero cantar outras antes!”. Para “Promissed You a Miracle” chama KT Tunstall, a cantora que assegurou a primeira parte do concerto. KT participou também na gravação do álbum Acoustic e Jim conta que, assim que a cantora entrou em estúdio, “foi ela quem ditou as regras”.
Sem grande surpresa, mas com genuína emoção, a noite fechou com “Alive & Kicking”. A tradução de um concerto acústico é, para os Simple Minds, algo que extravasa a ideia de uma sala coberta de luzes de velas. É uma noite a transbordar de energia, em que se percebe que eles gostam mesmo do que fazem e principalmente do contacto com o público. O concerto teve lugar no Coliseu, mas o ambiente que se sentiu era mais próximo da euforia de estádio.

I went to Coliseu in Lisbon to see Simple Minds (for the 5th time) live (Acoustic Live'17).
Saw them 4 times before and the shows were with all the great songs:
In 1991-07-31 - Estádio José de Alvalade, Lisbon, Portugal - They played 115 mn.
In 2002-05-27 - Pavilhão Atlântico, Lisbon, Portugal - They played 118 mn.
In 2012-02-14 - Coliseu, Lisbon, Portugal - They played 125 mn.
And in 2015-02-07 - Coliseu, Lisbon, Portugal - They played 137 mn.
