Description

VIBES & BEATS has been a dynamic actor in Portugal's entertainment world. They are now one of the largest national concert producers and manage events in many of the country's main venues.   

The funds raised through this campaign are intended to co-finance the production of two concerts by Brazilian artist Ana Castela at the Superbock Arena in Porto and the MEO Arena in Lisbon on 4 and 5 October 2024.

After doing the North Festival and Brasil Vibes, also with Vibes&Beats, Ana Castela returns to Portugal for two concerts. In 2022, she stood out as one of the leading names of the new generation of Sertanejo (country) music in Brazil with more than 15 million monthly listeners, her hit "Pipoco" was in 1st place on Spotify for three months, and at the end of the same year, the artist was one of the names chosen as an Under 30 personality by Forbes Brasil.

This is the promoter's seventh campaign, after having raised 1.075.000 euros through Vibes&Beats I, II, III, IV, V, and VI to leverage costs before shows, which were later settled by the ticket sellers (usually 15 days after the events).

In 2024, the promoter produced 24 shows in the country's largest venues:

• Eros Ramazzotti with 2 dates at MEO Arena,
• The Waterboys with 3 shows at the Coliseums of Lisbon, Porto, and Casino do Estoril,
• Barões da Pisadinha with 2 dates at Super Bock Arena and Sagres Campo Pequeno,
• Brasil Vibes at MEO Arena,
• North Festival with 3 dates at Alfândega do Porto,
• DJAVAN with 3 shows at Coliseu de Lisboa and Super Bock Arena.
• TRABALHADORES do COMÉRCIO S at the Estoril Casino,
• ROCK à MODA do PORTO with 2 Super Bock Arena dates,
• TITANS at the MEO Arena,
• SILVA with 2 dates at the Super Bock Arena and Sagres Campo Pequeno,
• THE ELTON EXPERIENCE with 2 dates at Super Bock Arena and Sagres Campo Pequeno
• LUAN PEREIRA with 2 dates at the Super Bock Arena and Sagres Campo Pequeno.

The year of 2024 began with Laura Pausini's show at the Meo Arena. There are currently four shows with tickets on sale, as well as the 6th edition of the North Festival (24, 25, and 26 May at Serralves Park):

• Brasil Vibes at the Meo Arena,
• North Festival with 3 dates at Serralves Park,
• Bell Marques at Muralhas de Faro,
• Ana Castela with 2 dates at the Super Bock Arena and the Meo Arena.

The promoter's goals are to create new concepts of events, concerts, and festivals, where music is not the only focus of the public.

The Impact

Promotion of cultural economic activity: strengthening trade in cultural goods and services provides stimulation for local and national markets, which in turn provides employment opportunities and promotes local production. This is especially important after the cultural sector suffered serious setbacks by the Covid-19 pandemic in the last two years, and starts now to recover. The financing of Vibes&Beats enables:

• Maintenance of 8 full-time formal jobs
• Boost of the national cultural industry: partnering with around 80 other national companies for the realization of the events – including marketing, communication, and structures services, it encourages the cultural infrastructure.

Promotion of cultural diversity and heritage: the realization of the events promotes and recognizes national artists, cultural production, and heritage, and by bringing international artists to tour it contributes to an appreciation of cultural diversity.
