Meo SW is one of the biggest music festivals in Portugal. For 5 days thousands of campers from all Portugal, but also from other countries, enjoy the sun, the beaches, the music and all the fun that Costa Vicentina provides. It’s all about having fun with your friends, meeting new people, listening to music and enjoying the hot, beautiful white sandy beaches where we can refresh ourselves in the big blue ocean.

In 2012 I was on holiday with Carolina, her parents and some of their friends and, as Eddie Vedder was playing that night and he is a great singer, we all decided that it was an opportunity that we couldn’t miss.

So we went that night to watch Pearl Jam’s lead singer. In the venue thousands of people were watching the other concerts, but the main goal of all of them was to listen to Eddie Vedder. The concert finally started two hours later, but everyone was thrilled to finally see him on stage.

The concert was amazing. Eddie Vedder is a wonderful singer and also a very good guitarist. The stage was meant for him. He played some of his greatest hits such as “Better Man” and “Just Breath “.

I really liked to watch him singing on stage and I really want to go see him next time he’s coming to Portugal.

Few months ago I went to a Dealema concert because I love their music and to have fun. The venue was too small for so many people, but even so the crowd was all singing along, dancing and having a good time. The atmosphere couldn’t be better, everyone went wild.

I don’t know for sure how many people were there, but we could barely move. The performance was just amazing, the sound was out of this world, as was the company, and as it was carnival there were accessories everywhere and they were passed along to everyone.

The band sang their biggest hits they composed as musics from the new album, but I didn’t know them as well as the others. But, thinking positively, I discovered new songs, I enjoyed seeing them again and singing my favourite songs while the group was singing in front of me. However, as I was late, I missed the first part of the concert and there were too many people in the room, so it was hard to find a place where I could see the band.

Queima das fitas is one of the only festivals in Braga and the most famous ine. In 2013, a well known band, called Kaisershifs , came to the festival and for me it was my opportunity to see a good band in my hometown.

When I went there were lots of people and they were insane.There were so many people that I couldn’t breath.

They took some time to start, but when they started everybody, including me, started screaming and clapping, because they were so great. When they started playing I was amazed, because I would never have thought that they could have had such a great sound and such stage performance.

At the end everyone started screaming for them to play one more and because they are cool, they played another one, so the crowd started shouting even louder the lyrics.

I really loved the concert and I wish they would come to Portugal again so I could see them again.
