Epica, Amaranthe, Charlotte Wessels 2026-02-01 Coliseu dos Recreios, Lisbon

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"
23:18 Show ends

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.

Tarja & Marko Hietala 2026-01-29 Coliseu dos Recreios, Lisbon

Thu, January 29, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Coliseu dos Recreios

The tour of Tarja & Marko Hietala is: "Living The Dream Together Tour 2026".
This was my first time I saw Tarja live as the main act. I saw her in 2024/11/25 & 26 when she was a guest of Within temptation 2 times. She only sang 3 songs at each of those 2 shows. I never saw Nightwish before. Was always a dream to see that band when Tarja was there.

I arrived at Coliseu dos Recreios at 06:30 am. It was raining.
During the day, some fans that I already knew started to arrive. At 13:00 the main doors of Coliseu opened and we got in to do the queues inside.

20:30 Show was scheduled to start "Marko Hietala"
21:55 Show was scheduled to start "Tarja"
23:39 Show ends

At 18:10 we got inside. First we went through the ticket scanner and then I started running inside the arena. I went up 2 flights of stairs. And then I could see on my right the main stage. Already a few people in the middle (the VIPs who got in early, around 10 people). I went to the right side.

We had 3 bands playing before Tarja.

Before "Tarja" Coliseu de Lisboa, played 1st band Serpentyne (London, UK Band), they started at 19:00 and played 30 minutes. Played a set of 6 songs.

I watched a few videos on the days before the show. Some cool sound. I liked to see them here live. They were singing while their own videos were on the screen behind.

The band members are:

Current members:
Maggiebeth Sand – Lead Vocals
Lee Willmer – Guitars
Nigel Middleton – Bass, Vocals
Kevin Murphy – Drummer
John Haithwaite - Keyboards, Drums, Backing Vocals

Before "Tarja" Coliseu de Lisboa, played 2nd band Rok Ali and the Addiction (Nashville, American Band), they started at 19:39 and played 26 minutes. Played a set of 6 songs.

Never heard of them before. To be honest, I wasn't impressed with the vocalist's voice.

The band members are:

Current members:
Alison Krebs (aka Rok Ali) – Lead Vocals
Christopher Nix – Guitar Vocals
Lee Beverly – Bass, Vocals
Kevin Murphy – Drums

Finally was time for Tarja. She started at 21:57 and played 100 minutes. Played a set of 18 songs.

Key Historical Context:
Nightwish (1996–2005): Tarja was the original vocalist for Nightwish, alongside founders Tuomas Holopainen and Emppu Vuorinen.
Collaboration: She has recently reunited with former Nightwish bassist Marko Hietala for live performances.

It was an amazing show. I loved the concert. First time I saw Tarja live as the main act.
She sang many of her solo songs and even a few of Nightwish. So cool to see Marko singing with Tarja a few songs.

The band members are:

Current members:
Tarja Turunen – Vocals
Alex Scholpp - Guitar
Doug Wimbish (touring) - Bass
Christian Kretschmar - Keyboards
Max Lilja - Cello

Within Temptation 2024-11-26 MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, Lisbon

Tue, November 26, 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal @ MEO Arena-Sala Tejo

The tour of Within Temptation is: "Blled Out 2024 Tour".
It was my 5th Within Temptation show.

I arrived at MEO Arena-Sala Tejo at 07:10 am. Now it was my second time in this pavilion. It was a sunny day.
During the day, some fans that I already knew started to arrive. Later in the afternoon they set up a merchandising stand where I could see some of the official material for sale.

Scheduled times next.
18:30 General doors
19:25 Show was scheduled to start "Blind8"
20:00 Show was scheduled to start "Annisokay"
21:00 Show was scheduled to start "Within Temptation"
22:35 Show ends

At 18:30 we got inside. First we went through the ticket scanner and then the police check and then I started running inside the pavilion. I went down 2 flights of stairs. And then I could see on my left the main stage already with a lot of people in the middle (the VIPs who got in early). I went to the right side, in front of the end of the stage (about 1 meter to the right from the day before).

We had 2 bands playing before Within Temptation.

Before "Within Temptation" MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, played 1st band Blind8 (Ukranian Band), they started at 19:27 and played 23 minutes. Played a set of 6 songs.

Was my 2nd time watching them. Between the 4th and 5th song they spoke for a few minutes about the war happening in their Country.

You can check all the details of the show in the setlist below.

Here it is the setlist:

Before "Within Temptation" MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, played 2nd band Annisokay (Metalcore German Band), they started at 20:02 and played 33 minutes. Played a set of 8 songs.

Was also my 2nd time watching them. They sing a song with Sharon "Like A Parasite" and after that they sing the Linkin Park cover song of "One Step Closer". They were awesome (this time I was not surprised).

Finally was time for Within Temptation. They started at 20:59 and played 92 minutes. Played a set of 17 songs.

It was an amazing show. I loved the concert. I hadn't seen them for 13 years.
And to see finally "Tarja" playing 3 songs with Within Temptation was a dream. I never made it to see her live not with Nightwish not even when she played as a solo artist.
Was cool that Within Temptation changed 2 songs in the setlist. On the 1st day we had "All I Need" (15th song) and "Mother Earth" (17th song) and on the 2nd day they played "Angels" (15th song) and "Ice Queen" (17th song). This 4 songs are so epic. "All I Need" was always one of my favorite songs. "Mother Earth" and "Ice Queen" are just so epic live. Also love "Angels".

Current members:
Sharon den Adel – lead vocals (1996–present)
Robert Westerholt – rhythm guitar, unclean vocals (1996–present, studio only since 2011)

I arrived at MEO Arena-Sala Tejo at 08:10 am. It was the first time I went to this pavilion. They had said it might rain during the day but it was a day of clouds and sun.
The day before I had gone to the MEO Arena to see Bryan Adams and when I left I was hit by a huge downpour.
During the day, some fans that I already knew started to arrive. Later in the afternoon they set up a merchandising stand where I could see some of the official material for sale.

20:00 Show was scheduled to start "Annisokay"

22:35 Show ends

At 18:30 we got inside. First we went through the ticket scanner and then the police check and then I started running inside the pavilion. I went down 2 flights of stairs. And then I could see on my left the main stage already with a lot of people in the middle (the VIPs who got in early). I went to the right side, in front of the end of the stage.

We had 2 bands playing before Within Temptation.

Before "Within Temptation" MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, played 1st band Blind8 (Ukranian Band), they started at 19:23 and played 22 minutes. Played a set of 6 songs.

Was my 1st time watching them. Between the 4th and 5th song they spoke for a few minutes about the war happening in their Country.

You can check all the details of the show in the setlist below.

Here it is the setlist:

Before "Within Temptation" MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, played 2nd band Annisokay (Metalcore German Band), they started at 20:03 and played 34 minutes. Played a set of 8 songs.

Was also my 1st time watching them. They sing a song with Sharon "Like A Parasite" and I was surprised with the Linkin Park cover song of "One Step Closer". They were great.

Finally was time for Within Temptation. They started at 20:59 and played 96 minutes. Played a set of 17 songs.

It was an amazing show. I loved the concert. I hadn't seen them for 13 years.
And to see finally "Tarja" playing 3 songs with Within Temptation was a dream. I never made it to see her live not with Nightwish not even when she played as a solo artist.

30 Seconds To Mars 2024-05-29 Altice Arena, Lisbon

Wed, May 29, 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Altice Arena

The tour of 30 Seconds To Mars is: "Seasons Tour".
It was my 7th 30 Seconds To Mars show.
The concert was awesome. With Jared Leto, Shannon Leto and Stephen "Stevie" Aiello - bass, guitars, keyboards, backing vocals (2013–present).

From Wikipedia: Seasons Tour

The Seasons Tour is the seventh world tour by American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars in support of their most recent album It's the End of the World, But It's a Beautiful Day. It was announced on November 9, 2023 just after frontman Jared Leto became the first person to legally climb the Empire State Building in New York City. It began on March 14, 2024 in Santiago, Chile at Lollapalooza and will end on September 19, 2024 in Auckland, New Zealand. The first non-festival show of the tour is in Krakow, Poland.

I arrived at the Altice Arena at 05:40 am.
First one to arrive.
We queue on the shadow of the trees just a few meters outside the pavillion. Cool day with friends.
At 6:30 pm we got in. I was a little worried because I didn't know how many VIPs with early entry there were. But I got lucky. I saw occupied spaces on the right side of the catwalk but in front of the catwalk it was almost all empty. I was 1 or 2 meters away from the middle in front of the catwalk that had some stairs.

Before "30 Seconds To Mars" in Altice Arena, played Jaguar Twin, he played 31 minutes.

I had never heard of him. I didn't really like what I heard. He was sincere in some situations but his music isn't really my thing.

You can check all the details of the show in the setlist below.

Here it is the setlist:

Edit this setlist | More Jagwar Twin setlists

01. The Circle
02. Down To You
03. Life is good
04. I Like To Party
05. Happy Face
06. Great Time To Be Human
07. Loser
08. Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)

Finally was time for 30 Seconds To Mars. They played 119 minutes (93 minutes + encore of 26 minutes) with a 6 minute break before the encore.

It was a great show. Jared Leto, Shannon Leto and Stephen "Stevie" Aiello.
Jared Leto always moving everywhere. A lot of energy. Jared speaking some Portuguese every now and then is always cool.
On "Closer To The Edge" the final song Jared called on stage the fans. This time I was lucky. And got in to the stage. Just went to the middle of the stage to see everything. Always a cool experience. I saw Jared, even Shannon just in front of me. And Steve also passed by me on the stage.
Crazy moments. Took a few photos, crazy photos from the stage. Amazing memories that will stay forever.

Taylor Swift 2024-05-24 Estádio da Luz, Lisbon

Fri, May 24, 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Estádio da Luz

The tour of Taylor Swift is: "The Eras Tour".
It was my 1th Taylor Swift show.

I arrived at Estádio da Luz at 06:00 am. Went to the VIP 1 entrance outside the Stadium Area, on the gate. Went inside at 07:15 am to the VIP Stage left and right queue together.
I had the VIP 1 Front Stage Esquerdo (It's Been a Long Time Coming Package). My gate to go in the left side of the stage was 26. The 25 was to the right VIP Stage tickets.
At 03:25 pm we got inside. First we went through a police check and then run to the gate 26. Got in the 26 and run again to get in the left side of the stage.
The time we got in was with a little delay. And the general doors also opened later. A big mess outside the stadium with thousands of people wanting to get in. And I know a lot of people had to run outside to get in. Many fans were late to get in and even lost the first band "Paramore" I'm thinking of my niece who only got in 10 minutes before Taylor Swift started. She went to the "Bancada Piso 3".

Scheduled times next.
15:00 VIP early entry
16:00 General doors
18:15 Show was scheduled to start -> Paramore
19:30 Show was scheduled to start -> Taylor Swift
22:45 Show ends

Before "Taylor Swift" in Estádio da Luz, played Paramore, they started at 19:03 and played 45 minutes. Played a set of 9 songs.

Current members

Hayley Williams[a] – lead vocals (2004–present), keyboards (2006, 2012–present)
Taylor York – guitar (2009–present; touring 2007–2009), keyboards (2012–present), backing vocals (2017–present)
Zac Farro – drums, percussion (2004–2010, 2017–present), keyboards (2017–present), backing vocals (2007, 2017–present)

Current touring musicians

Joey Howard – bass, backing vocals (2015–present)
Logan MacKenzie – keyboards, guitar (2017–present)
Joseph Mullen – percussion, drums (2017–present)[300]
Brian Robert Jones – guitar, backing vocals (2022–present)

I liked to see them for the 1st time. I missed when they come here a long time ago. But was cool to see them now. Hayley Williams always so freaking cool. She went to the stage with her eyes painted with dark colours. Very cool.

You can check all the details of the show in the setlist below.

Here it is the setlist:

Edit this setlist | More Paramore setlists

01. Hard Times
02. Burning Down the House (Talking Heads cover)
03. Still Into You
04. Caught in the Middle
05. Told You So
06. The Only Exception
07. Misery Business
08. Ain't It Fun
09. This Is Why

Finally was time for Taylor Swift. She started at 20:15 and played 200 minutes (3 hours and 20 minutes). Played a set of 45 songs.

It was an amazing show. I loved the concert. Incredible to see all of this eras (albums) coming together in one big show. A lot of memories.

Telling a little of how I started to love Taylor Swift and her music:
The first video I ever saw from Taylor Swift was "Love Story" in 2009 and love the video and the song.
Then "Speak Now" the album was out, also I love it. I bought the blu-ray "Speak Now World Tour – Live". I still remember to see that concert so many times.
Then "Red" album with all those amazing songs. Still one of my favorite albums.
When "1989" album was out I think that was the one that made me love her. The complete album is a masterpiece. Still my Taylor Swift favorite album.

About this concert in Lisbon. Was freaking amazing to see The Eras Tour in my hometown, Lisbon, Portugal. I was waiting for so many years to see her live. Finally she decided to come here. I bought my ticket in July 12, 2023. About 10 months ago. I wanted so much to buy tickets for both shows. I tried the codes but no lucky in those. I made it to buy the VIP for the 1st show. Was very happy about that for sure, to see her in my city. And when I tried to the 2nd show was all sold out, with no chances of getting any ticket.

I will never forget this concert. Amazing memories. Watching "Cruel Summer" live was really incredible, to see everyone singing the song, always one of my favorite songs. This was from the "Lover" era.
Especially this part.

"I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
And I screamed for whatever it's worth
"I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
He looks up grinning like a devil

It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules, in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer
With you"

Believe me, to hear this with a million people singing at the same time is really incredible.

The next eras on stage were "Fearless" from 2008, "Red" from 20212 and "Speak Now" from 2010.

These were the albums that made me like her more. And was the time I started to buy her CDs.
I made the videos from this 2 albums. Amazing to see this songs live. "Love Story" the first song that I ever heard and saw the video from Taylor.
"Fearless" and "You Belong With Me" the songs I heard many times when they were out. And to see them live were amazing.
The songs from the "Red" era are all amazing specially "All To Well", one of my favorite songs. And to see live the 10 minute version is really incredible. To see everyone sing the song at the same time: again, amazing. In the video I made of "All To Well" more or less in the middle of the video someone knocked my phone. But I got to it again and continue filming.

On the "Speak Now" era we only got 1 song. But 1 amazing song: "Enchanted". She took out of this setlist one of my favorite songs "Long Live".

"Reputation" era was next. I love the "...Ready for It?". To see this live was another epic moment.

"In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you, so I take my time
Are you ready for it?"

Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off and never sayin' sorry
But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist, and
We'll move to an island, and
And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor
Every love I've known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now
Never be the same now, now

I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know (No one has to know)"

Next the folkmore double era. The joining of two eras: "Folklore" and "Evermore", both from 2020.

Seeing that cabin on the main stage was really cool. That 3 minute standing ovation after "Champagne Problems" was awesome. We could see that Taylor was really happy and surprised.

"1989" era was next. My favorite album.

So cool to see this songs live. "Style" "Blank Space" "Shake It Off" "Wildest Dreams" "Bad Blood".
"Wildest Dreams" is always one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs. Love this so much. And to see this live was realy awesome. I made a video where I joined this song with "Bad Blood".

It was great to see the new album being included in the concert setlist: "The Tortured Poets Department". This was next. This album have some amazing lyrics. Taylor with her genious brain could write the best things possible.

One of my favorite songs is "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?". Love this lyric and song and the portuguese people singing along was incredible.
Love to see Taylor singing with great power and determination this in a platform that went all over the stage.
In the moving platform singing this was really fantastic. It was like something out of a movie:

"… So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
"Who's afraid of little old me?"
I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean
"Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"
Who's afraid of little old me?
Well, you should be

… You should be
(You should be) You should be
'Cause you lured me (you should be)
And you hurt me (you should be)
And you taught me

… You caged me and then you called me crazy
I am what I am 'cause you trained me
So who's afraid of me?
Who's afraid of little old me?
Who's afraid of little old me?"

Another awesome moment of this album. Other of my favorite songs was "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived". This was one of the best momemnts of the night. Hearing everyone singing this song with Taylor.
When the drums appear on stage was epic. A lot of people with drums going higher and higher while taylor was singing:

"Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?
Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?
Were you writing a book? Were you a sleeper cell spy?
In fifty years, will all this be declassified?
And you'll confess why you did it
And I'll say, "Good riddance"
'Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden
I would've died for your sins
Instead, I just died inside
And you deserve prison, but you won't get time
You'll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars
You crashed my party and your rental car
You said normal girls were boring
But you were gone by the morning
You kicked out the stage lights
But you're still performing

And in plain sight you hid
But you are what you did
And I'll forget you, but I'll never forgive
The smallest man who ever lived"

Then, was time for the surprise songs.

Time for what comes next. And we got a few "1st time playing" live.

"Come Back…Be Here" (Red album 2012) / "The Way I Loved You" (Fearless album 2008) / "The Other Side of the Door" (Fearless album 2008)
With spoken intro, mashup on guitar and tour debut for “The Way I Loved You”.

"Come Back…Be Here" and "The Way I Loved You" simply amazing songs. We got only a little of "The Other Side of the Door".

Then was "Fresh Out the Slammer" (from the new TTPD album).
Also a live debut, on piano, with "High Infidelity" outro.
I love this song. Epic lyric.

"Now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to you
Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to
(Fresh out the slammer, oh)

Another summer taking cover, rolling thunder
He don't understand me
Splintered back in winter, silent dinners, bitter
He was with her in dreams

Gray and blue and fights and tunnels
Handcuffed to the spell I was under
For just one hour of sunshine
Years of labor, locks and ceilings
In the shade of how he was feeling
But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

Now pretty baby, I'm running back home to you
Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to
(Fresh out the slammer, oh)"

And finally the last era of the show. The "Midnights" era is coming from the 2022 album.

This is just a happy album. Awesome cool pop songs.
We got 7 songs. They are all cool in their own way.
Finishing the show with "Karma" with confettis and fireworks to end the show on the best way possible.
