NEW CONFIRMATIONS

Among the new confirmations revealed today for the 2nd edition of MEO KALORAMA in the Metaverso space, which was developed by the Instinct communication agency, providing a meeting point that will remain in operation from today until the festival, we highlight The Hives who will present their sixth album “The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons”, due to be released in August and the first in over a decade. Englishman Baxter Dury, son of the late “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll” author (Ian Dury & The Blockheads), who came to prominence in the early 2000s as the lead singer of Kilburn and the High Roads and has released four solo albums and collaborated with artists such as The Kills, Jarvis Cocker, and The Whites Stripes, will also be at Parque da Bela Vista to present the new “I Thought I Was Better Than You”, released last June 2nd.

On the electronic front, Tiga promises to remind us why he continues to be one of the most consensual names, while James Holden takes us on a journey of discovery of “Imagine This Is a High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities”, the new album released at the end of March.

Shygirl brings her fast and direct rhyme, while Chima Isaaro and Saint Caboclo complete the programming of the PANORAMA stage, one of the great novelties of this edition, dedicated exclusively to electronic music, with a quadrifonic sound design, and that in its debut parades a daily cast of luxury dedicated to all the aficionados of the dancefloors, since the opening of the doors, until the closing of the enclosure.

This year MEO KALORAMA embraces again the initiative “Chelas é o Sítio”, project founded by Sam The Kid with other figures of the neighborhood of Chelas, which finds in the festival voice and stage for the rising talents in the neighborhood community and in the national music scene: Rato-Chinês on August 31, Gui Aly and NECXO on September 1 and Snake Gr on September 2.

We regret to inform you of the cancellation of performances by Lil Yachty and Slowthai for reasons beyond the control of the festival.

MUSIC, ART AND SUSTAINABILITY

Regarding Sustainability, in 2022 MEO Kalorama was an absolute success in terms of waste management. The event managed to recycle 62% of all waste collected, while the remaining 38% was used to generate energy. It was thus distinguished as an ECO EVENT by Valorsul, which identifies MEO KALORAMA as a zero waste to landfill event. In this second edition, Last Tour, promoter of MEO KALORAMA, consolidates the 3 pillars of the festival, Music, Art and Sustainability, at a time when it has obtained the prestigious B CORP certification, which attests to its commitment to the community and the planet, in line with UN Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals.

WE ARE MEO KALORAMA

7 people 7 hills 7 stories

The WE ARE MEO KALORAMA community takes shape and ballast by showing the intersection between cultures, art and the people who inhabit and shape the city of Lisbon, embodying the 3 pillars of the festival, Music, Art and Sustainability. Inspired by the 7 hills of the city, WE ARE MEO KALORAMA shows the perfect blend of what it means to live in Lisbon in 2023: Portuguese and foreigners, visual artists, ceramists, tattooists, booksellers, skaters who find in the Portuguese capital the perfect inspiration and rhythm to create and share their art.
