The balloon that deflated with the absence of Queens of The Stone Age has been reinflated
The expectations for the four days of concerts that will take place until Saturday are high. “We are going to enjoy the festival a lot. We are going to see all the bands,” says another João, part of the same group.
Nevertheless, it is possible to see that the cancellation of the Queens of the Stone Age show caused some upset. “I was a bit sad,” admits the young man.
The absence of the band led by Josh Homme forced the organization to make last-minute changes to the lineup, which included offering free entry on the first night, fully dedicated to Portuguese bands, and bringing in The Cult to strengthen the lineup for August 22.
We came for the camaraderie and the aura of this festival – Filipe
However, for this group, the important thing is to live the spirit of the festival. “We came for the camaraderie and the aura of this festival.” I bought the ticket because of that, not for the concerts. However, The Cult and Waterboys will pull in the crowd. Yes, it will be a good festival,” concludes Filipe.
Soulfly, The Darkness, and Die Antwoord are other prominent names in this year’s edition.
