But guess what? A brand new urban festival, <b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indourofest.com\/\">INDOURO FEST<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p>obviously a pun between Indie and Douro, the river separating the cities of Porto and Gaia<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p>is taking place next weekend (May 2nd-3rd) right across the river, at the Serra do Pilar, this steep hill overlooking Porto by the riverside. The place is also known for its ancient monastery, right next to the main stage.<\/p>\n<p>Does it work? For a fact, Indouro won\u2019t be the first festival at Serra do Pilar, the place used to host many concerts years earlier and that might help explain why it is such a brilliant scenery. While simple and plain, the monastery and the surroundings really work together at any time of the day, and it\u2019s expected for many people to gaze around, although probably you should pay attention to what\u2019s going on on the stage. Or stages.<\/p>\n<p><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>Yes, there will be another stage at Jardim do Morro, a nice garden by the end of the hill, where a metro station can be found \u2014 in fact, the festival\u2019s organization guarantees Indouro is the only festival with a metro station inside its area. But Guinness World Records aside, this stage, named FNAC Stage, will feature lots of up and coming or already established Portuguese acts, like local singer-songwriter<b> The Weatherman<\/b>, who closes the stage on Sunday. And all of this for free.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"tmblr-full\" data-orig-width=\"600\" data-orig-height=\"450\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hoverZoomLink\" src=\"https:\/\/66.media.tumblr.com\/7fd94900a5647e5fdaa5ff44eef72d12\/tumblr_inline_nngpaik9q41qdmxm3_540.jpg\" alt=\"image\" data-orig-width=\"600\" data-orig-height=\"450\" \/><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p><i>Clinic<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Back to the Main Stage, where you can make your euros worth (\u20ac32 for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilheteiraonline.pt\/Comprar\/Bilhetes\/24633-indouro_fest_bilhete_diario-mosteiro_da_serra_do_pilar_jardim_do_morro\/\">one day<\/a>, \u20ac55 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bilheteiraonline.pt\/Comprar\/Bilhetes\/24636-indouro_fest_passe_2_dias-mosteiro_da_serra_do_pilar_jardim_do_morro\/\">full pass<\/a>), Indouro Fest presents us with a very modern, contemporary UK indie rock-based line-up, while at the same time featuring two strong headliners who have been around for some time &#8211; but not in Portuguese stages. The first being <b>Clinic<\/b>, revival rockers from Liverpool, provided with synths and dysphonic harmony, unscrewing the place by Saturday night. Also for the first day, we count on<b> The Lucid Dream<\/b> to keep with the British psychedelia, or Jo\u00e3o Vieira\u2019s <b>White Haus<\/b> to bring the dancing electronica, while <b>DJ Kitte<\/b><b>n<\/b> (a.k.a.

Because Sunday, to the exception of Portuguese openers <b>Malcontent<\/b>, all the names come from the cultural relevant and influent London and its surrondings (well, Brighton isn\u2019t far). Starting with <b>Yuck<\/b>, authors of the great shoegazing influenced self-titled <i>Yuck <\/i>LP from 2011, and although with new frontman and record from 2013, the quality isn\u2019t shaken. <b>Lola Colt<\/b>, as the film which gives name to the band, really captures the spaghetti western feel, both starring leading females. And then <b>Toy <\/b>will be playing (worst pun ever), continuing this English conquest, now directly from Brighton. Their rock miscellany (post punk, Manchester\u2019s music scene, shoegazing, all there) would be enough to satisfy us from the indubitably stronger day of the Fest, but Brighton isn\u2019t done as<b> British Sea Power<\/b> ends headlining the final day in their melancholic but incessant indie rock, as well as presenting their last art-rock effort, <i>Sea of Brass<\/i>. How about that for a Sunday?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"tmblr-full\" data-orig-width=\"1200\" data-orig-height=\"800\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/66.media.tumblr.com\/b415801aecbcaac0138f33058f382868\/tumblr_inline_nngpb3DSHV1qdmxm3_540.jpg\" alt=\"image\" data-orig-width=\"1200\" data-orig-height=\"800\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>And how about that for a festival as well?
