On the night of the Queen, Fergie was also Queen – Daily News – Lisbon

With the full enclosure like an egg to see the Queen, the American singer was another of the protagonists of the second day of Rock in Rio, where the sun of yesterday become the electronic stage of the pool one of the busiest places of the festival.

After hurricane Bruce Springsteen, it seemed impossible that the second day Rock in Rio had more people the day before. But it was precisely the feeling that looked barely transposed the doors of the enclosure. And in the evening since it was almost impossible to move around the lit to the upper area of ​​the Bela Vista Park.

Even without Freddie Mercury, Queen of fans not wanting to meet with Brian May and Roger Taylor, the remaining members of the legendary British band, who called the American Adam Lambert to take the place of the charismatic singer, who died in 1991. Perhaps so expectations were not the highest, despite the flood. But certainly also why the concert of Queen turned out to be one of the biggest and most memorable surprises in this year’s Rock in Rio.

The real summer sun yesterday was felt throughout the day may explain the early riser flood that mid-afternoon had already taken account of the Bela Vista park. “Today the weather helped, is a fantastic heat”, welcomes Luis Soares, one of the liveliest responsible for Pool Parties of the electronic stage, the day before proved to be a real flop, due to strong wind. Completely different from what could be enjoyed yesterday, with dozens of people to dance and dive around and in the pool.

“The space has a capacity for one hundred people simultaneously, but only 30 in the pool “, explains this charge. The festivities continue until the 21:00, when the national DJ sound (yesterday acted Paul Day, DJ Poppy and Fauvrelle) through space, after that time, working as a VIP area of ​​the electronic stage, always with an open pool those who wish to go swimming.

from towel and bathing suit

to access the space in the open period to the public, it is necessary to be part of a list guests, to which it was entering through participation in hobbies carried out in the weeks before the festival. “And every day, between five and six, the sponsors of the space walk the grounds distributing invitations,” reveals Luis.

Or you do not need any of this and just get there early, as happened with Diogo and Eduardo, 29 and 19 years. “We arrived early in Coimbra and we were the first to enter and then come here,” says the first, I already knew what was coming, equipped with towel and trunks. “I saw a story in the newscast and decided to risk it. We had no bracelet, but as yet there were few people left us in, now only go out when evict me”, assures Diogo. However already given a couple of dives recorded by Eduardo chamber, which as not brought swimming trunks, makes private fellow photographer.

Unlike the two boys, Margaret and Catherine, 19 and 20 years remain in a corner away from all the excitement. Dress color swimsuits orange and fits them ensure the safety of all these people, but have not yet had to intervene. “We had some fear because of alcohol, but all they have behaved very well,” confirmed Daisy, who took the course of swimming-saving this year and premiere here in these roles. Catarina colleague already has three years of experience and perhaps why not find so funny to surprise people to see them there on duty: “They think that we are extras Maybe it’s because we are women and youth.” …

Fergie dominatrix

quieter Well was the environment in Vodafone stage where the Portuguese Sensible Soccers were enlivening the few present with their ethereal music, a scenario that although with more people, not much has changed with the psychedelic rock of Boogarins Brazilians. Realize that this is a stage for connoisseurs or discoverers and they also are in the Rock in Rio, but not so in such large numbers.

At this time, the animation is all concentrated on Rock Street, where lines succeed door yes door yes. “Look, there are giving scenes,” says a young girl to her boyfriend, pulling him by the arm. But this is something that happens over there everywhere.

Time to set sail for the world stage, where Fergie, also known for being one of the lead singers of the Black Eyed Peas, but begins to act. The amphitheater da Bela Vista is well composed, but still joins more people when the singer changes the look of Kim Wilde, who played with part of the solo album The Dutchess, for an outfit to dominatrix style. And with latex boots, bikini and black leather jacket that artist the US kicked off to a succession of classic rock as Start Me Up, the Rolling Stones, Black Dog, Led Zeppelin or Barracuda, the Heart. Yes, the day was the Queen, but Fergie was another of the queens of the night.

The Rock in Rio now pauses until the next Friday, the day that Johnny Depp and Hollywood Vampires are headliners. , To follow on Saturday, the Maroon 5 (and Ivete Sangalo, and DAMA Gabriel the Thinker) on Sunday to Ariana Grande and Avicii close down the festival.
