Remember the long lines and overall mayhem that was the day before? Well, Sunday for some reason (and obviously for some effort put by the organization of the festival) was the complete opposite, dragging no crowds at the entrance and quickly charging the bracelets of festival-goers so they could buy stuff inside the festival. An explanation for this is certainly the fewer people to arrive earlier at Parque Eduardo VII, instead of the VIP crowd gathering at the improvised food zone next to the stage on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moving on, no reasons to be witty, since we arrived late as well to Mr. Herbert Quain<\/b>\u2019s set during the afternoon, but it sounded gracefully when entering the site. Hoping to catch you again sometime, mister.<\/p>\n

The hangover wasn\u2019t that troublesome, we\u2019ve had worse, but you kind of get into that brainfreeze state when listening to Andras & Oscar<\/b> performance. And not in a bad way! Allow me to explain: this duo brings an aura of sunset, chillout house, and it\u2019s easy to imagine that, if we actually had a hangover, these slow jams would make wonders to cure it. But of course, shall we not reduce their talent and comfort when performing, since Andras can really play the synths and Oscar\u2019s voice is on point. Really cool concert for this time of the day!<\/p>\n

\u201cConcert\u201d is a word we didn\u2019t use a lot during our review of Lisb-On. And presumptuous of me for bringing this antiquated distinction to the table, but for god\u2019s sake, Jazzanova<\/b> knows how to play a concert. Lead by Paul Randolph on voice and occasional guitar, Jazzanova brought some of their Funkhaus Sessions, starting with \u201cLook What You Are Doin\u2019 To Me\u201d – right when Paul Randolph joined the stage and after the band ended their jam for beginners. This concert was really a complete joy. It would be hard to find a low point during the whole show, and they sure aren\u2019t single note: funky at times, slow groovy here and there, with the constant soul vibe of Randolph, this was a party.<\/p>\n

As for Todd Terje<\/b>: I must start with the disappointment it was for me (and many) that the \u201cLive\u201d aspect of the concert was him playing, alone, with the synth and running the rest of the songs with his computer. Sure, Lisb-On, you didn\u2019t assure us it would be with his band, but at least you could certify it wouldn\u2019t leave it to expectation. Nevertheless, this was pretty good as well, being actually more pumping and, erm, duh, electronic than it would be with band. But hell, I missed the strings and the flutes, the more gaudy drums and the equal result: dancing. At least \u201cOh Joy\u201d and \u201cInspector Norse\u201d for closing were incredible as usual, leaving us on a high note and hoping for more of Todd Terje\u2019s moderate and effective house.<\/p>\n

The sun was about to set entirely and Lisb-On was about to give us their last name: Michael Mayer<\/b>. And what a class of a DJ, a very much deserved name to conclude the festival. Although very much straight-foward techno at times, Mayer knew how to build up the song and by the time the drop came, the structure of the song would be much richer and complexe, adding actual melody appealing to the ear. And of course, nice touch to play \u201cLoud Places\u201d by Jamie xx and closing the set with the tongue in cheek \u201cLove is in the Air\u201d by John Paul Young. <\/p>\n

\n

Surely this Sunday proved the naysayers of the previous day wrong, with a stronger line-up and space to dance and move around. And we hadn\u2019t said this yet, but even with all that free space, the festival had sold out. I think it\u2019s safe to say then that Lisb-On, by its second edition, has space to grow, either as a household name within the Portuguese festivals\u2019 circuit, or as grounds to fill with bigger crowds. Expectations are high for next year\u2019s edition, we can\u2019t wait to be surprised by newer and exciting names in 2016! Keep \u201cOn\u201d Moving! <\/p>\n
