Sun, June 21, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque Tejo)
It was a sold out show with 90.000 people.
I went to Rock In Rio especially to see Linkin Park (for the 3rd time) with the tour "From Zero World Tour" and also for The Pretty Reckless.
Linkin Park I saw them before in September 9, 2003 (Pavilão Atlântico, Lisbon) and in May 30, 2014 (Rock In Rio, Parque da Bela Vista, Lisbon).
I had never heard of the other two bands: Grandson and Cypress Hill.
I arrived at Rock In Rio at 5:10 am. Was still night. And then came a sunny and very hot day. I went to the road to the main entrance to enter later. There were already some people on the lines.
We got in at 1 pm. The security guards removed the barriers so we could move forward to the next stop to be searched by the security guards. We walked slowly with the security guards forming a protective rope to the new stop. After that we have to go to a final stop to get our tickets checked and after thart finally we get in.
Was time to run to Palco Mundo that is in the opposite site of the Rock In Rio. Around 800 meters. Of course I couldn't keep up the pace. I had to stop and walk calmly to the Palco Mundo. When I got there, the front row was already packed with people on the right side, but I managed to see a guy who had been with me outside in line since 5 in the morning. And I managed to get on his side.
I immediately noticed two differences from Rock in Rio two years ago in the same place. The stage was higher and we were closer to the stage, but this meant I couldn't see the whole stage, especially the back parts and the river itself.
Scheduled times next. General doors - 13:00
To start (1st band) at 17:00 -> Grandson -> End at 18:00
To start BPI Apresenta "Força Portugal" com a SIC - 18:35
To start (2nd band) at 19:00 -> The Pretty Reckless -> End at 20:00
To start The Flight - O Grande Espectáculo Aéreo - 20:00
To start (3rd band) at 21:15 -> Cypress Hill -> End at 22:15
To start Stage For Dreams - Espetáculo Pirotécnico e Audiovisual - 23:00
To start (4th band) at 23:15 -> Linkin Park -> End at 00:45 Close of Rock In Rio - 02:00
The first band on stage was Grandson. They played for 60 minutes (17:00 - 18:00).
Just went to google to find the story of this band and found this:
"Grandson (stylized as grandson) is the stage name of Jordan Edward Benjamin, a Canadian-American alternative rock musician. His music blends rock, hip-hop, and electronic elements to tackle socio-political issues like economic inequality, systemic injustice, and mental health.
Born in New Jersey and raised in Toronto, Benjamin initially planned to become a teacher. He studied education at McGill University in Montreal but dropped out to pursue music. In 2014, he relocated to Los Angeles to kickstart his career, where he developed his genre-bending sound.
The Meaning Behind the Name -> The moniker "grandson" is a direct homage to his late grandfather, who introduced him to legendary musicians like Ray Charles. He styles the name in all lowercase letters because he wants the focus to remain on the music and the community message, rather than personal ego."
Now my opinion of the concert. Was freaking cool rock. I like it. At the end of the show, the vocalist put on a Portugal football shirt.
01. AUTONOMOUS DELIVERY ROBOT

05. BELLS OF WAR
06. Stigmata
07. GOD IS AN ANIMAL

16. Blood // Water
On the break before "The Pretty Reckless" Rock In Rio show us a special event dedicated to the Football team that is playing a World FIFA Tournament trying to win it and become World Champion for the 1st time.
The event was: -> "BPI Apresenta "Força Portugal" com a SIC"
They show special videos of the portuguese players from our story in euro and world events in the past. They also show all the players in video and with name on screen for the public to shout their names. Last name that was shown was from Ronaldo.
Hoping this could be a very special surprise to our portuguese team.
I was in the front row (on the right side) and saw a bunch of people putting up a giant banner for us to lift with our hands and send it backwards (the idea was to fill the audience with the flag). On the other side, they did the same with a national team t-shirt. At the right moment, we started pulling the banner back as far as possible. A little later, we pulled it forward again. It must have been a cool show to watch from the back.
The idea behind doing this is to then create a montage of our work that will be sent to the entire national team to show our support.
The second band was The Pretty Reckless. They played for 60 minutes (19:00 - 20:00).
It was amazing to finally be able to see them. I already knew of this band for a few years, but I never really got to know them (well) until I found out they were coming to Rock in Rio on the same day as Linkin Park. So I started exploring their catalog more thoroughly, and that made me really like them, especially some of their songs.
Current members
Taylor Momsen – lead vocals, rhythm guitar (2009–present)
Ben Phillips – lead guitar, backing vocals (2010–present)
Mark Damon – bass (2010–present)
Jamie Perkins – drums (2010–present)
Taylor Momsen is freaking cool. Love how she was always moving around everywhere.
The songs I most wanted to hear were: "For I Am Death" and "Make Me Wanna Die". And they sang both. Freaking awesome.
I will write here the setlist:
01. Death by Rock and Roll
02. Since You're Gone
03. Follow Me Down 04. Miss Nothing 05. For I Am Death
06. When I Wake Up

Another break of changing bands to have another surprise show. This time was: -> "The Flight - O Grande Espectáculo Aéreo"
It was an event with 5 small planes by Yakstars performing an aerial acrobatics show.
Very cool to see it.
The third band was Cypress Hill. They played for 65 minutes (21:15 - 22:20).
I did not like them. And don't understand why this band (Hip Hop) was put on the same line up (day) of Linkin Park, The Pretty Reckless and grandson that are all great and amazing rock bands.
I only wanted them to finish their set and go out. I was not there to see them.

Another break of changing bands to have another special show. This time was: -> "Stage For Dreams - Espetáculo Pirotécnico e Audiovisual"
Started with Freddy Mercury and Queen playing in an old Rock Show.
It was cool with also an amazing laser show. And fireworks.
The fourth band was Linkin Park. They played for 98 minutes (23:22 - 01:00).
They played a set of 23 songs.
It was my 3rd time watching them. But this time was with Emily Armstrong. The other 2 shows I saw was still with the amazing Chester Bennington that is not alive anymore.
Current members:
Mike Shinoda – lead and rap vocals, keyboards, sampler, programming, synthesizer (1996–2017, 2023–present); rhythm guitar (2001–2017, 2023–present)
Emily Armstrong – lead vocals (2023–present)
Brad Delson – lead guitar (1996–2017, 2023–present); keyboards, synthesizer, sampler (2007–2017, 2023–present); backing vocals (2000–2017, 2023–present)
Dave "Phoenix" Farrell – bass (1996–1999, 2000–2017, 2023–present); backing vocals (2002–2017, 2023–present)

Colin Brittain – drums, percussion, backing vocals (2023–present)
Current touring musicians
Alex Feder – lead guitar, backing vocals (2024–present)
I loved the show, always electrifying and full of energy. It was spectacular to see the new songs with the new vocalist and also to see the old ones with Emily Armstrong's help. Although, of course, I prefer Chester's versions, which will always remain in our memories.

Sat, June 15, 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque Tejo)
It was a sold out show with 80.000 people.
Saw Xutos & Pontapés (for the 4th time, all in Rock In Rio editions: 2004, 2012, 2016 and now 2024) now with Orquestra Filarmónica Portuguesa live.
Saw Extreme (for the 3rd time) live. The "Thicker Than Blood Tour 2024".
I went to Rock In Rio especially to see Evanescence (for the 3rd time) live. The "The Bitter Truth" Tour.
And also saw Scorpions (for the 1st time) live. The "Love at First Sting 40th Anniversary" Tour.
I arrived at Rock In Rio at 6 am. Sunny day. I went to the road to the main entrance to enter later, waiting that somebody else came. Around 7 or 8 am people start arriving.
After waiting for a few minutes on the main entrance we got in. We got inside at 1 pm. We had to run to be checked by the police. And after that we had to run again to the main entrance where they checked our tickets. A lot of people ahead of us taking photos, making videos and trying to give us "things". And then we had to run again already inside to go to Palco Mundo.
At 1:05 pm I was already on front row on the right side of the stage in the place where I wanted to stay.
Finally I could rest on a sunny and windy day with the river on my left.
Scheduled times next.
13:00 General doors
To start (1st band) at 16:00 -> Xutos & Pontapés with Orquestra Filarmónica Portuguesa -> End at 17:00
To start (2nd band) at 18:00 -> Extreme -> End at 19:00
To start (3rd band) at 20:00 -> Evanescence -> End at 21:15
To start 22:15 -> Show 20 Years -> End at 22:30
To start (4th band) at 22:30 -> Scorpions -> End at 00:00
00:00 Show ends
The first band on stage was Xutos & Pontapés with Orquestra Filarmónica Portuguesa. They played for 56 minutes (16:00 - 16:56).
Saw them for the 4th time, all in Rock In Rio editions: 2004/05/30 (with Seether, then Xutos, Charlie Brown Jr., Kings Of Leon, Evanescence and Foo Fighters), 2012/06/03 (Kaiser Chiefs, James, then Xutos and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band), 2016/05/19 (Rock In Rio-The Musical, Stereophonics, then Xutos and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band)
and now 2024 live. This was a special show that Xutos & Pontapés had already thought about a few years ago and it was finally possible to come to fruition.
It was nice, a little different with the orchestra. Xutos & Pontapés were happy. The orchestra conductor was always jumping from one side to the other, it was cool to see.
I will write here the setlist:
01. Abertura (Medley Instrumental - Orquestra Filarmónica Portuguesa)
02. À minha maneira
03. Fim de semana
04. Enquanto a noite cai
05. Avé Maria
06. Remar remar
07. Contentores

10. Para ti Maria

12. A Minha Casinha
The second band was Extreme. They played for 59 minutes (18:03 - 19:02).
It was amazing to finally be able to see them again. Last time I saw them live was 30 years ago: 1992/11/06 (with Joker, Thunder and then Extreme) in Pavilhão Dramático de Cascais, Cascais, 1994/06/12 (Extreme and Aerosmith) in Praça de Touros de Cascais, Cascais,
and now 2024 live.
I love the show. Gary Cherone the vocalist always jumping around from one side of the stage to the other. And Nuno Bettencourt always amazing with his guitars.
Extreme are a band from Boston, USA.
When Extreme played "We Will Rock You" by Queen Nuno arrived with a Benfica hat, his heart club.
Nuno spoke portuguese a few times during the show.
One time he said "I went to the United States of America when I was four years old. When I return to the Azores, to Portugal, everyone says that's where I'm happiest". This was just before a magic moment when a Portuguese flag fluttering on the screen on the stage. And Nuno started playing an acoustic version of the national anthem (Portuguesa), which made the audience join in in unison and sing the lyrics.
After this incredible moment Nuno started playing with his guitar "More Than Words" and Gary Cherone joined in to sing. Of course, the audience sang along to these amazing lyrics.
01. It ('s a Monster)
02. Decadence Dance
03. #REBEL
04. Am I Ever Gonna Change
05. Play With Me (with Queen's "We Will Rock You" intro)
06. Hole Hearted
07. Midnight Express
08. A Portuguesa (Nuno Bettencourt played an instrumental version of Portugal's national anthem as the crowd sang) 09. More Than Words
10. Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee
11. Get the Funk Out
12. RISE

and now 2024 live.
They started playing still on a sunny day and they finish still on day time but with no sun and almost night.
I love the show. Amy Lee with her amazing voice. Always running around from one side of the stage to the other. Even sang a few songs on the piano like usual.

Before the last band, Rock In Rio show us the celebration of 20 years of Rock in Rio here in Lisbon in the screens and with fireworks. They call it Show 20 Years. It took 8 minutes (22:20 - 22:28).
Was cool to see the memories in videos of bands and singers that they had in the last 20 years on the Rock in Rio stages here in Lisbon.
The fourth band was Scorpions. They played for 96 minutes (22:31 - 00:07 and encore 23:50 - 23:53).
Scorpions perform a 17-song set at Rock in Rio Festival, 15 songs plus 2 on the encore.
It was my first time watching them. Happy to see them here in Rock In Rio finally.
Current members:
Rudolf Schenker – rhythm, lead and slide guitar, backing vocals (1965–present)
Klaus Meine – lead vocals (1970–present)
Matthias Jabs – lead and rhythm guitar, backing vocals (1978–present)
Paweł Mąciwoda – bass, backing vocals (2003–present)
Mikkey Dee – drums (2016–present)
Amazing how Klaus Meine has already 76 years old. He moves very slow but stil has an amazing voice.
It was a great rock show. Voice, guitars, drums were awesome. Cool to see the guitar players always running around the stage.
I made a few videos of my favorite songs, will add them below the setlist.
01. Coming Home
02. Gas in the Tank
03. Make It Real

Sat, June 25, 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque da Bela Vista)
I went to Rock In Rio to see Duran Duran (for the 6th time) live. This time was "FUTURE PAST EUROPE". After a week of some crazy weather we got a sunny hot day. But it worth every minute of it. 70.000 people.
It was my sixth Duran Duran show. I went to 3 shows outside Portugal and with this one will be my third show in Portugal.
I arrived at Rock In Rio at 6 am. Still night. Cold night with some rain. I went to the road where we will be in line to enter later, waiting that somebody else came. And about 9 am a A-Ha fan arrived.
We got inside a little after 12 pm.
After waiting for a few minutes on the main entrance we got in. When I was waiting my friend Tania appeared behind me (she wanted to see "Bush"). A lot of people ahead of us taking photos and trying to give us "things". Well, so I run to the front and then went to the left side. I got in to the front row corner on the left and my friend Tania went to the front row corner on the right side.
Finally I could rest on a sunny and hot day.
Before Duran Duran in Rock In Rio, Lisbon we saw the band "Bush", also "UB40 featuring Ally Campbell" and "A-Ha".
The first band on stage was Bush. They played for 53 minutes (17:00 - 17:53).
I never saw them before but I like them. Gavin Rossdale just went outside the stage to the fans everywhere while singing a few times. When he passed from me I touched his arm. And on the other side of the stage my friend Tania just got a special hugh from him. Awesome moments for sure. The sound was really awesome. Love one of the songs where we could see a video of people flying on roads. It was "Comedown". Love the song and the video behind was freaking awesome. Also great moments: "Bullet Holes" from the movie "John Wick 3: Parabellum" with images from the movie also behind. "Glycerine" another great moment.

Finally was time for Duran Duran. They started the show at 23h04 and played for 102 minutes (23:04 - 00:31 and encore 00:33 - 00:48).
Duran Duran perform a 19-song set at Rock in Rio Festival, 17 songs plus 2 on the encore.
They still are freaking amazing. A lot of energy on stage. For some 60 year old members they still look fit. Simon a bit voiceless in some parts, but nothing out of this world.
Cool that they played some of the new songs, but always awesome when they play like a greatest hits set. Great songs from the 80s and 90s that will always stay with my memories.

And the video:
Num dia de Rock in Rio Lisboa em que “nostalgia” era o conceito que abarcava tudo, os Duran Duran seriam, sem dúvida, a banda mais esperada pelas 70 mil pessoas que se deslocaram ao Parque da Bela Vista neste sábado, 25 de junho. Há mais de dez anos que a banda britânica de pop rock e new wave formada no final dos anos 70 não atuava em Portugal. Para uma geração, trata-se do grupo responsável por muitos dos hinos de juventude com que vibraram em escutas partilhadas através de discos de vinil, nas danceterias, ou que serviram de banda sonora para alguns dos momentos mais emocionantes e entusiasmantes das suas vidas.
Sendo assim, era de esperar que os Duran Duran fossem recebidos por uma enorme multidão no Palco Mundo. A fasquia era alta e, como em qualquer grupo com mais de 40 anos de atividade, a resistência ao teste do tempo é fulcral para que a sua mera existência e apresentação ao vivo faça sentido. Os Duran Duran já não são os mesmos que tocaram no Super Bock Super Rock em 2008, nem tampouco aqueles que passaram pelo Coliseu dos Recreios em 2005. Quanto mais os jovens que fizeram três datas em Portugal em 1982.
Porém, e como é óbvio, a idade traz experiência e umas quantas vantagens. O frontman Simon Le Bon e companhia — o baixista John Taylor, o teclista Nick Rhodes ou o baterista Roger Taylor, sendo que a formação é alargada em palco — mostraram funcionar como uma máquina bem oleada.
Para uma banda como os Duran Duran, o alinhamento é previsível mas eficaz. Os fãs querem ouvir os grandes êxitos — e o grupo faz questão de os tocar o melhor que sabe, incluindo pelo meio alguns temas mais recentes, neste caso, do álbum “Future Past”, de 2021, que não geraram grande entusiasmo junto da plateia.
Foram, claro, canções como “Notorious”, “Hungry Like The Wolf”, “Come Undone”, “Girls On Film” (que culminou num crossover moderno com “Acceptable in the 80’s”, de Calvin Harris), “Save A Prayer”, o grandioso e apropriado “Rio” ou “Ordinary World”, dedicado ao povo ucraniano que tem sofrido diariamente desde fevereiro, que animaram verdadeiramente o público.
Apesar de a sua voz não ser a mesma, e de a rouquidão se notar a partir de certo momento do espetáculo, Simon Le Blon conseguiu atingir a grande maioria das notas certas e, com a ajuda de duas vozes femininas de apoio, cumpriu o seu desígnio.
Ao vivo, e como reflexo direto dos seus temas, os Duran Duran mantêm-se como uma banda anglo-saxónica pop rock invulgarmente recheada de groove — com destaque para o baixo, instrumento tantas vezes menosprezado na música pop e rock, e para o saxofone. Ao contrário, por exemplo, do caso dos A-ha (que estão em boa forma e também deram um concerto bastante competente), a música dos Duran Duran soa atual e virtuosa.
Sim, sabemos que foi composta num determinado tempo e contexto, mas não a pressentimos como uma peça museológica com 40 anos quando a ouvimos nas colunas do Palco Mundo do Rock in Rio — continua refrescante. E penso que esse seja um dos melhores elogios que podemos dar a qualquer músico ou artista.
A banda pareceu estar genuinamente empolgada durante a atuação e também deixaram assim os fãs de longa data, que dançaram e vibraram com aquelas músicas que tão bem conhecem e que, por mais que o tempo passe, muito provavelmente vão continuar a ser as músicas das suas vidas. Qualquer melómano que se preze terá de defender a descoberta constante de novos sons e artistas, mas a nostalgia é um refúgio natural — e inofensivo — do ser humano. Deixemo-nos envolver por ela em noites como esta.
Carregue na galeria para ver outras imagens do concerto dos Duran Duran no Rock in Rio Lisboa. (link no inicio do blog para poderem abrir o link das fotos).
Com mais de 40 anos de história, a banda britânica deu no Rock in Rio Lisboa um enxutíssimo concerto com a melhor pop/new wave dos anos 80 (e algumas pérolas posteriores pelo meio). Sexagenários, os Duran Duran dançaram, fizeram dançar, foram bombásticos e fizeram bombar. Pareceram genuinamente jovens (apesar da rouquidão de Simon Le Bon ter aparecido a meio). (Também) é assim que se faz.
Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor e Roger Taylor estão todos nos 60 e tais. Mas a pop é ilusão e os Duran Duran, em palco na noite de sábado da Bela Vista, pareceram uma banda mais jovem (especialmente se formos amigos e fizermos ouvidos moucos a uma certa perda de voz de Simon Le Bon a partir da exigente 'Ordinary World').
Com o património de mais de 40 anos de canções - uma discografia iniciada no homónimo álbum de 1981 -, o grupo de Birmingham cumpriu no Rock in Rio Lisboa dois desígnios: deu ao público tudo o que o levou a comprar bilhete (um sem fim de êxitos imorredouros da pop e da new wave dos anos 80 e início dos 90); mostrou que a longevidade na pop não tem que ser embaraçosa (à semelhança do que, de resto, também demonstraram os noruegueses e também veteranos A-ha, que antecederam Duran Duran no maior palco do festival).
Principiando à hora certa, os Duran Duran não se pouparam e atiraram-se, desde logo, à frenética 'Wild Boys' (bateria de Roger Taylor bem pujante), espécie de teste de força para os 90 minutos que se seguiriam. E manobra para ganhar crédito para duas canções de "Future Past" ('Invisible' e 'All of You', o álbum de 2021 que só os indefetíveis das primeiras filas souberam reconhecer, com o resto da plateia (de perder de vista) a acusar indiferença.
A partir daí, com apenas mais duas visitas ao disco mais recente ('Give It All Up' e 'Tonight United') a entremear o alinhamento, os Duran Duran dedicaram-se à antiga e nobre missão de agradar. Veja-se o luxo: 'A View to a Kill', colheita James Bond 1985, 'Notorious', funk do melhor com o dedo de Nile Rodgers (aquele pequeno riff de guitarra tão, mas tão comestível) via 1986, 'Union of the Snake', do igualmente soberbo ano de 1983. A acompanhar o quarteto-base, um coro de duas vozes femininas, saxofonista e guitarra elétrica.
'Come Undone', vestígio de um início dos anos 90 em que os Duran Duran voltaram a sintonizar-se com as tabelas de vendas, não deslustrou, mas perdeu para uma aprumada 'Hungry Like the Wolf' (primeiro 'sintoma' de "Rio", de 1982, de que se ouviriam outros dignos espécimes mais adiante) e para a bem-vinda recordação de 'Friends of Mine', penúltima canção do álbum de estreia (e uma das poucas canções do alinhamento que não foram single).
A partir de 'Ordinary World' (dedicada ao povo da Ucrânia, "que está a sofrer inexplicável e inimaginavelmente"), Simon Le Bon mostrou uma crescente rouquidão que se refletiu numa menor capacidade em atingir notas altas com o mesmo acerto, mantendo contudo a afinação na maior parte do tempo e incutindo, galhardamente, alguma rudeza mais rock na entrega. Não foi perfeito, mas esteve longe de ser um grande problema. E a aspereza, já perto do final, até deu jeito em 'White Lines', versão de Grandmaster Flash e Melle Mel lançada no mal-amado álbum de versões de 1995.
'Girls on Film', o terceiro single da carreira da banda (e ainda hoje, um portento de concisão new wave), mereceu cruzamento com 'Acceptable in the 80s', de Calvin Harris. A banda saiu depois de cena, mas voltou depressa para um encore, também ele uma 'instituição' de outros tempos em festivais: Simon Le Bon, agora vestindo apenas uma t-shirt com a expressão "courage est au courant" e voltando a pedir orações pela Ucrânia, parece ter tomado meio rebuçado de mentol para 'Save a Prayer'. O final, esse, só podia ser um: 'Rio' (gloriosamente mais 'Pop in...' do que 'Rock in...'), o glamour de 1982 diretamente para um 2022 que ainda não sabemos bem de que terra é, mas pelo menos em Lisboa vem com solo de saxofone.
A banda inglesa terminou a noite de sábado do Rock in Rio Lisboa com os maiores êxitos, alguns com 40 anos, e continua a ter no vocalista Simon Le Bon um "frontman" com uma energia inesgotável.
A plateia junto ao Palco Mundo do Rock in Rio Lisboa já estava composta quando uma dúvida assaltou dois amigos na casa dos 50 anos: ele, antigo emigrante na Suíça, ia comprar discos dos Duran Duran à Holanda porque os LP"s só chegaram mais tarde a Lisboa, a uma pequena loja dos Restauradores que os seus cabelos brancos já não o ajudavam a lembrar. Ora, o espaço chamava-se "Bimotor" e foi essa a metáfora da banda britânica na noite deste sábado no Parque da Bela Vista: um avião antigo, restaurado mas fiável, com músicos de excelência para lá dos 60 anos mas a um ritmo frenético.
O espetáculo começou eletrizante, com o tema "Wild Boys" a conquistar, de imediato, a plateia. De casaco branco e calças prateadas, Simon Le Bon empolgou-se, chegou perto da audiência, ao lado do baixista John Taylor. Seguiram-se, num ápice, outros êxitos, como "A View to a Kill", um dos temas da saga de "James Bond" e "The Union of The Snake".
"Come Undone" catapultou a banda para os temas mais calmos, com Nick Rhodes a brilhar nas teclas e a filmar a multidão e Roger Andrew Taylor na bateria. De seguida ouviram-se temas mais recentes do novo álbum, "Future Past", até regressarem os êxitos antigos como "Save a Prayer".
Em resumo, um concerto nostálgico e do agrado dos milhares de fãs com t-shirts com o nome da banda estampada e que recordaram o concerto em Portugal em outubro de 1982, no antigo Pavilhão Dramático de Cascais. Porque eles estão para durar...
Dia para maiores de 40
Depois da noite do rock, com Muse ou Xutos e Pontapés e do dia dedicado aos mais jovens, com Black Eyed Peas e David Carreira, no último fim de semana, o Rock in Rio Lisboa recebeu ontem festivaleiros de meia idade, nostálgicos dos anos 80 e 90. Para "matar" saudades dos tempos de há 40 ou 30 anos, o Parque da Bela Vista deu as boas-vindas a outras bandas do século passado, mas que ainda dão cartas em 2022: Bush, UB40 e A-Ha.
Pouco passava das nove da noite quando a formação norueguesa de "new wave" e "pop rock", nascida na cidade de Oslo, em 1982, subiu ao Palco Mundo. Os músicos, que alcançaram sucesso mundial nos anos 80, rapidamente mostraram ao que vieram e conquistaram a audiência com um "boa noite Lisboa, tudo bem?". Alguns dos maiores êxitos como "Take on Me" não foram esquecidos e se em Liam Gallagher rebentaram duas tochas e em Ivete Sangalo sobressaíram as bandeiras brasileiras, no sábado à noite foi a vez de uma bandeira da Noruega se destacar entre a imensa multidão. As hostilidades foram abertas com os membros do grupo com óculos de sol, já a tarde se tinha posto. Até ao fim ouviu se "pop" electrónico, com o piano em destaque, a lembrar os "eighties".
Ainda era de dia quando os UB40 se apresentaram. A banda britânica com influências do "reggae" e "pop", formada em 1978, na cidade de Birmingham, mostrou ter uma legião de adeptos em Portugal. Ali Campbell, o convidado da tarde, continua, aos 63 anos, com um alcance vocal assinalável. A audiência dançou ao som do "reggae" durante uma hora, embalada pelos sons do grupo e, ao contrário do que tinha acontecido nas tardes do fim de semana anterior, o recinto encheu, com 70 mil a vibrar com a interpretação de "Purple Rain, de Prince, uma das músicas mais celebradas.
Os grandes êxitos dos UB40 ficaram para o fim da tarde, entre eles "Cant Help Falling in Love" ou "Red Wine". O fim do concerto coincidiu com a entrada de Ney Matogrosso no Galp Music Valley. A exuberância e performance do artista brasileiro levou vários milhares ao local, que se desviaram do palco principal do Rock in Rio Lisboa.
Às cinco da tarde tinham entrado na Bela Vista os Bush. Banda "grunge" formada em 1992 em Inglaterra e que vendeu milhões de álbuns... nos Estados Unidos, terminaram em 2002, mas voltaram em 2010, com Gavin Rossdale, como "frontman", Chris treynor na guitarra, Corey Britz no baixo e Nick Hughes bateria. Sem as camisas de flanela que celebraram, também, os Nirvana ou os Pearl Jam, há 30 anos, o vocalista desceu mesmo do palco e juntou se ao público ao agarrar várias mãos de fãs em êxtase, enquanto celebrava as centenas de t shirts que notou "com o nome da banda". "Último espetáculo na Europa e que maneira de terminar", atirou Gavin, com uma cerveja portuguesa na mão. O público aplaudiu mas notou que o concerto teve menos de uma hora de duração. Soube a pouco, porque o "grunge" esteve em alta. "São ingleses e não estão habituados a este sol", brincava-se nas primeiras filas. Verdade ao não, minutos depois começava, no Galp Music Valey, o concerto de António Zambujo. A organização não quis sobrepor atuações e o espetáculo do cantor português foi transmitido em direto nos ecrãs gigantes do Palco Mundo, para entretenimento de quem já marcava o lugar para os UB40.
Pelo Galp Music Valley passaram ainda os Delfins e, a encerrar a noite, José Cid. Os artistas foram uma alternativa aos cabeças de cartaz do Palco Mundo e puseram os espectadores a cantar e a dançar os grandes êxitos... em português.
Sat, September 7, 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio Celebration Lisbon 15 years (Garden of Torre de Belém)
A different Rock In Rio. A Celebration of the 15 years of Rock In Rio here in Portugal with a free concert. 1st edition was in 2004 in Parque da Bela Vista, Lisbon.
It was the second time I saw James here in Portugal on a live show. First show was on June 3rd, 2012 also at Rock In Rio but in the usual space, Parque da Bela Vista, Lisbon. I went there on that day to see Bruce Springsteen. On that day I saw 1st Kaiser Chiefs, then was James, then Xutos & Pontapés and then Bruce Springsteen.
I arrived at Garden of Torre de Belém, Rock In Rio at 8 am. Arrived there in front of Torre de Belém to try to find the gates to get in. As it was free I could get inside the garden. About 10 or 11 am other James fans arrived. From UK, Mexico and even from Canada. Very awesome people super fans of James. I stayed with them all day.
Close to 11:50 am James come to the stage to do the soundcheck. Awesome to see them. Very hot weather. Tim Booth (vocalist) asked to put there some shades. And they finish the soundcheck on the shades. They finish at around 1:10 pm.
Before James We got at 9 pm the video mapping projected on the three faces of the Belém Tower, telling the story of the 15 years of Rock In Rio in Portugal. And it was freaking awesome.
Finally was time for James. They started the show at 21h15 and played for 93 minutes.
James perform a 16-song set at Rock in Rio Festival.

Thu, May 19, 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque da Bela Vista)
I went to Rock In Rio to see Bruce Springsteen (for the 3rd time) live. This time was "The River Tour 2016". Another big and sunny day of waiting. But it worth every minute of it.
It was the third time the BOSS was here in Portugal to do a live show. I was on the first show he did here in Lisbon on May 1st, 1993 at Estádio José de Alvalade (23 years before). This 1993 show was really awesome. I remember to see Bruce Springsteen playing for 3 hours. And the second show was 4 years ago also in Rock In Rio on June 3rd 2012.
I arrived at Rock In Rio at 5 am. Still night. Cold night. I sat up a little on the road where we will be in line to enter later, waiting that somebody else came. Other fans of Bruce Sprignsteen began arriving a little after 8 am.
Just before 4 pm me and other fans started to run up the long road, hard race until the main entrance. I managed to go to an empty door of close to 15 or 16 doors available to stop.
A few minutes later we get in. A lot of people ahead of us taking photos and trying to give us "things". Well, so I run to the front and then went behind other fans to the left side but I notice the right side was almost empty. So I turned around, just couldn't run anymore. Walk a little behind the bars and there I ended up on the right side that was where I wanted to go. I saw a friend of mine on front row with a little space on his right side and went there.
Finally I could rest on a sunny and hot day.
Before Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band in Rock In Rio, Lisbon we saw a musical "Rock In Rio - The Musical", we also saw the bands Stereophonics and Xutos e Pontapés.

Fri, May 30, 2014 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque da Bela Vista)
I went to Rock In Rio to see Linkin Park (for the 2nd time, first time was in Pavilhão Atlântico in 2003) live. I arrive at Parque da Bela Vista at 2h00 am. It was another big night and day of waiting. But it worth every minute of it. It was not as cold as the week before when I went there to see Robbie Williams.
Linkin Park are always amazing live. Love to see their energy on stage. The guys are always running all stage from one side to the other specially Chester and Mike. This time they even got a special surprise that was Steve Aoki on stage in "A Light That Never Comes". Steve Aoki was on stage for a minute or two and went to the right side and jump all over the crowd. Crazy dude. When he got out of the fans he passed just in front of me to go below the stage.
Before Linkin Park in Rock In Rio, Lisbon played Capital Inicial and Queens Of The Stone Age.
The first band was Capital Inicial. They played for 64 minutes.
They are a brasilian rock band. The vocalist is a crazy dude who was always jumping around the stage. Talk about the brasilian politics and even send them to a special place. They were fun to see.
I will write here the setlist:
01. O Bem, O Mal e o Indiferente
02. Independência
03. À Sua Maneira
04. O Cristo Redentor
05. Como Se Sente
06. Depois da Meia Noite
07. Quatro Vezes Você
08. Primeiros Erros (Chove) (Kiko Zambianchi cover)
09. Música Urbana
10. Should I Stay or Should I Go (The Clash cover)
11. Natasha
12. Fátima
13. Que País é Esse? (Legião Urbana cover)
14. Mulher de Fases (Raimundos cover)
15. Veraneio Vascaína
The second band was Queens Of The Stone Age. They played for 83 minutes.
They are a rock band that I don't like. They play rock but not my kind of rock. A presenter of SIC Radical, Carolina Torres was in front of me rocking and jumping with their sound.
I will write here the setlist:
Spiders and Vinegaroons
01. You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire
02. Go With the Flow
