PET SHOP BOYS are the most successful duo in the history of UK music. Known for their innovative approach to live performances, they have redefined the intersection of pop and theatrical spectacle. At MEO KALORAMA, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe bring DREAMWORLD, their first greatest hits tour, featuring iconic songs such as “West End Girls”, “Always On My Mind”, and “It’s A Sin”.

Since the release of ‘LP1’ in 2014, British singer, songwriter, and producer FKA TWIGS has cemented herself as a trailblazer in alternative pop and electronic music. Her latest album, ‘EUSEXUA’, released in January, has received critical acclaim, earning a 9.1/10 from Pitchfork and a perfect 5/5 from NME.

It took just four songs for DAMIANO DAVID to dominate all the global charts. The Italian musician, who already has a strong connection with the Portuguese audience due to his career as the frontman of Måneskin, will step onto a Portuguese stage for the first time under his own name, for a concert filled with the energy he’s already accustomed us to.

JORJA SMITH is one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary British soul, and her connection to Portugal runs deep. Since her 2018 debut album ‘Lost & Found’, Portuguese fans have followed her rise, and now she’s set to make her long-awaited debut at Parque da Bela Vista.

AZEALIA BANKS also returns to Portugal. The New York rapper has built a singular career blending hip-hop, pop, and dance music, with hits like “212” bringing a taste of Harlem to clubs worldwide.

FATHER JOHN MISTY will present ‘Mahashmashana’, his late-2024 release that solidified Josh Tillman’s status as a leading figure in modern folk. At Parque da Bela Vista, it will be nothing but real love baby between Father John Misty and his Portuguese fans.

In an unmissable show, THE FLAMING LIPS will celebrate ‘Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots’, their 2002 conceptual album that helped define alternative music for a new generation. In this iconic album, the American band blends psychedelic rock with electronic touches to tell a science fiction story that has inspired bands like MGMT and Tame Impala.

French electro-disco band L’IMPÉRATRICE has proven time and time again that they can turn any festival stage into a dance floor. At MEO KALORAMA, they’ll bring ‘Pulsar’, their latest album, after selling out their most recent Lisbon show.

Joining these names are the return of ROÍSÍN MURPHY to Portugal, whose latest album ‘Hit Parade’ we’ve never stopped playing on loop, Scissor Sisters, queer icons capable of setting any dance floor on fire with tracks like “I Can’t Decide” and “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’”, BADBADNOTGOOD, a prodigious trio blending jazz, hip hop, and electronic music, BOY HARSHER, an American duo at the forefront of the new wave of dark wave, KELLY LEE OWENS and MODEL/ACTRIZ and the debut of JASMINE.4.T., a British group signed to Saddest Factory Records, a label founded by Phoebe Bridgers.

Representing the Portuguese music scene will be BRANKO, an essential figure in electronic music with a unique career as both an artist and producer, BEST YOUTH, veterans of dream pop and national indie, CARA DE ESPELHO, the breakout band of 2024 with members from Deolinda, Gaiteiros, A Naifa, Ornatos Violeta, and They’re Heading West, as well as the Lisbon-based MAQUINA. and YAKUZA.
