A concert of Arcade Fire is always synonymous with celebration and celebration. The Portuguese public knows it well. That said, there was hardly better way to end the tenth edition of the festival IN Alive than with a concert of Canadians. Win Butler and company were the masters of ceremony which gathered a huge mass of people at the main stage this Saturday night.
You have to go back to 2005 to talk about the first time that the Montreal band played on Portugal, further north, in Paredes de Coura festival. At the time they were virtually unknown to the Portuguese public. Today, with a wide range of fans and after several concerts on national soil, almost can be said to have been part of the family. And how good rediscover family members who have not seen for some time
It is true that brought no new album to the Promenade of Algés -. The last, “Reflektor” is 2013 – but that does not imported.
Win Butler, dressed in white, and Régine Chassagne, with a silver dress, they led a spectacle that was, above all, of communion. And that had an alignment that will have pleased the most.
The Arcade Fire visited four albums, “Reflektor”, “Neon Bible”, “The Suburbs” and “Funeral”. Remembered songs are true hymns of indie music as “Rebellion (Lies),” No Cars Go “or” Neighborhood # 3 (Power Out) “and have undergone more recent issues (unless it is because they are three years ago) as” here Comes the Night Time II “,” Reflektor “(the song that gives title track) or” Afterlife. “age is nothing for them. And the years do not go through these songs.
by the middle there were balls of soaps, a shower of confetti and Win Butler with a scarf Portugal. and of course, the room naturally running high. But then came the “Wake up.” “Woah oh oh oh oh oh”, sang fans with one voice. the reunion, party … was all about to end.
Grimes, queen “gothic pop”
the frail figure of Claire Boucher, or Grimes, may have led some festival-goers to deception. it is the concert that the Canadian gave this last day of the NOS Alive was truly explosive. With electronics it is pop and at the same time, gothic, dancers unstoppable and intense play of light, Grimes made his debut this Saturday in Portugal. And that premiere.
It was already 1:30 when he began to act on the Stage Heineken. with a gay flag on his back. He came to present the latest album, “Art Angels”, released this year. The album divided fans, since the Canadian approached the more conventional pop tunes – after all she is an admirer of artists like Katy Perry. But judging by the flood (probably higher in this stage) and the enthusiasm with which was awarded from start to finish, no one would say.
Topics such as “Flesh Without Blood”, “realiti” or “Kill V. maim “gained new strength to live and left the public NOS alive in delight, with jumps and frantic bodies.
in this latest work, the former” Visions “that more trials and more dense textures also took place in alignment. . “Genesis” and “Oblivion” responded to the wishes of fans
Among the songs played and sang energetically, Grimes spoke several times with the public in as shy as adorable – “Oh she’s so cute, “said beside us. The audience was ecstatic for an hour, that is to say, throughout the concert. The Stage Heineken was it
electronics to dream of M83 and ad music
While Grimes -. A half hour overlap – M83 played on the Main Stage, the electronic music project lidrado by Anthony Gonzalez.
a concert started late. Apologizing for ten minutes the fans were waiting, the M83 went on stage to the sound of “Reunion.” – Theme of Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming “released in 2012
For an hour, the French conquered the audience and knew how to put it to dance well, not all of the image that most repeated throughout the event -.. the groups that took the side of the main stage (and others too) to sit – returned to check up tonight, a little everywhere
But until those same fans shook the “heel prick” when the French band brought to the stage “Midnight City” and “Go,” two. of his best known songs – the first part of an ad to a car brand and was used by the BBC as the theme of the special of the London Olympic Games in 2012. Those who were already standing did the party in large and Within seconds, they jumped, jumped, shouted.
Shortly after the top of the concert when the audience began to disperse. in small groups, many were turning back to what was happening on the main stage, heading to other stages or even home. While many of those present in the Walk of Algés Maritime demanded the return of the band, many ran – yes, literally -. Out of the festival grounds in the hope of not having to make the CRIL walk
The tenth edition NOS Alive festival had sold out in three days and festival-goers from 88 nationalities. Good news for those who want to return: the festival organizers confirmed that the next edition will take place on 6,7 and 8 July. That is to say: to the year for more
