By Saturday, Back Stage returns to a more familiar kick while keeping the same closeness. Four by four with a housier touch and hypnotic vibes. Music chosen by experienced selectors, well acquainted with the long road from warm-up to close.

Peter Mør b2b Sepypes, Solar, Freshkitos, Bikas b2b Nuno Di Rosso and Cruz b2b Zé Salvador bring different versions of club music. Some come from Porto’s old underground circuit, all of them crossed over from radio shows to record shops to labels and parties that defined the era that spawned NEOPOP.

Beyond the realm of the predictable, the Back Stage seeks to expand the Festival’s artistic horizons, and is one of the core reasons why we can say out loud, this is our most ambitious edition. Ever.
