Portuguese Da Weasel meet today on stage at the NOS Alive festival in Oeiras, twelve years after the group’s breakup, on a sold-out day that features Imagine Dragons, Phoebe Bridgers and Manel Cruz, among others.
“This will definitely be one of the best moments of our lives,” the band members stressed at a press conference at the festival.

We definitely have more experience,” said Carlao. “We have everything to give the closing concert of the cycle,” he added.
In an interview with reporters, Virgul said that the line-up for the concert at NOS Alive was closed in 2019. “It was difficult with such a long history and so many albums, but we needed to come to a consensus (…) has changed since 2019. “, – said the artist.
About a possible tour or new album, the band resorts to football puns without saying anything new. “Our ‘Mr’ said we’re only talking about the next game after this game,” the band’s bassist Jay (João Nobre) told the press a few hours before the band took to the festival’s main stage. Alive, which takes place on the Alges promenade.
“The official biography will be released early next year. And this is the only thing we can say about the future, ”the group said.
Da Weasel, formed in the early 1990s, announced in 2009 that they were looking to take a break after years of touring and recording.
The following year, the band’s dissolution was officially announced, leaving fans with a discography that had been edited up to that time – six studio albums, one EP and two live DVDs – and songs such as “Good Bless Johnny”, “Dúia”, “Agora e forever (passion)”, “Hangover”, “I give with my soul”, “Gentle dialects” and “You are cool”.
The group’s reunion concert was announced in 2019 and was scheduled to take place in July 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been postponed to 2022.
According to Jay, it was “two years of great expectations, great suffering”. “It was hard, but everything is over. It’s almost, we don’t even think about it anymore,” he said.
Not wanting to open the game in regards to future shows or albums, the bassist shared that “an official band biography” will be released “early next year”.
As for the possibility that the thousands of people who sold out the festival’s capacity today came just to see them, Carlao said he couldn’t connect one to the other.
However, he shared that “Since 2019, the six members of the group have felt ‘an incredible surge of love and energy from all over the country.’
During the tour of the hall, several people wear Da Weasel “t-shirts”.
Adriana Costa and Rui Chanfana are two of those people. They bought the ticket in 2019 when the concert was announced, in a package that also included a “t-shirt” with the concert start date: July 11, 2020.
Rui has seen “many concerts” by Da Weasel, but can’t remember when the last one was. Today, he believes the group will “surprise” and agrees with Adriana when she says “it will be fantastic, unforgettable”.
Rui believes that this concert will be “the only one, unfortunately”, Adriana still believes that there could be more.
The two traveled from Felgueiras with several friends, including Joao Carvalho and Ana Baptista. They also had tickets purchased in 2019 and “12 years of waiting for this concert”.
Today, João expects that “it’s normal for the best Portuguese band on the scene, the energy of the entire lineup will explode like they did 15 years ago.”
For Ana, this will be Da Weasel’s first concert. He expects it to be “a great concert that he had some influence on”. [João]”.
As for being able to see them on stage more often after today, João Carvalho claims that “it can’t go without [os Da Weasel] go back there [ao Norte do país]”.
“Da Weasel had a very strong fan base in the North. There are many people “from there” who did not come and deserve a concert there in Porto,” he said.
Teresa Matos and Thiago Gaspar also had a ticket to the Da Weasel concert in 2020, “from day one [em que foram postos à venda]”.
“I went to buy tickets,” recalls Thiago, who hasn’t seen the band live since 2004, at a show in Masao.
Like many other fans, Thiago is also hopeful that the band will continue beyond today, but finds it “difficult”. “I think [este concerto] This is a memory of the old days,” he said.
Teresa Matos believes that “it will be like a shooting star”.
“They will appear from time to time, and from time to time we will see them. But it will not be a normal return,” he said.
Only after today’s concert will it be known whether this “shooting star” will shine in the sky more often, or whether it was once unparalleled.
The Da Weasel concert is scheduled for 21:00 and will be broadcast on RTP1 from 22:00.
Before the band takes the stage, the festival will screen the documentary “Da Weasel (Agora e para semper)” by Antena3, written by Bruno Martins, directed by Katarina Peixoto and illustrated by António Piedade.

RAMMSTEIN @ Estádio da Luz, Lisbon
Announcement
Four years have passed since Stadium tour belonging RAMMSTEIN started in Germany. Much more since the itinerary was originally announced, and given the pandemic, it has been just under 365 days since tickets for the Portugal concert went on sale. However, after such a long wait for the return of the German band to the national soil, the day finally came when the titans of industrial metal honored us with their presence again. It was the stadium debut of a band that first visited us with two performances in 1998 at Paradise Garage and Hard Club and the national audience saw it grow step by step. Despite the absence we’ve been left with for the past decade (the last show here dates back to 2013 at the then Pavilhão Atlântico), the arrival of the Germans turned Lisbon into a black sea. In fact, a simple trip to the supermarket in the morning would be enough to realize that people from all over the country (and not only) have gathered there, the Portuguese almost all with backpacks on their backs, converging to host a group that is about to celebrate three decades careers. According to some, recent accusations that Till Lindemannthe band’s lead singer, has become the subject of much conversation on social media and the media in recent months – a story unfortunately repeated in the entertainment world.
Let’s face it, it was the national date for the third route Stadium tour on the Old Continent RAMMSTEIN arrived in Portugal in disgrace rather than grace. Even so, the metro ride to Estádio da Luz was electrifying. Inside, we were greeted by a sea of people all along the useful perimeter, with bars packed to capacity and a cool breeze that began to rise in the late afternoon, chasing away any shadow of a potential stadium elephant. Whether you think about it or not, or realize that the future seems increasingly uncertain for the band (or for the band with Till), the truth is that everything is set to welcome you with open arms. You can understand why if you look ahead. A gigantic stage dominates the stadium with several towers dotted across the lawn. Up there, the gray sky is preparing to receive all the explosives that will be detonated all night. Let’s face it, it’s not every day that we go to a show where we have to spend a few very long minutes to even grasp the size and scope of everything that lies ahead of us. And yes, even though the lineup had been circulating widely since the start of the tour, expectations were still high for it. performance in itself. But let’s start because this scene is really impressive; built to recreate an impressive dystopian cityscape that could very well have emerged straight from the classic silent “Megapolis”from Fritz Lang, which is easily confused with the futuristic structure of the current SLB home. Result with the French ABELAR playing piano versions of the classic headliners (on a dais at midfield left), it was just right for a band with such a penchant for imposing, dramatic gestures to shine in all their glory.
We could try to distort the text as much as we like, and at times it may even seem pointless to write about a show of force like that RAMMSTEIN. They are a HUGE, fiery band when needed; the choreography is thought out to the smallest detail – and, in truth, they have set the standard for what a great concert can be over the past two decades. with every tour becoming even larger and more imposing than the previous one, by this time nothing will allow them to give anything but an exceptional concert. Despite the restrictions, this unmissable event of the year also proved to be no exception to this rule, and once again the idea that no one represents a live show like these people was strengthened. The main export of German metal became famous for two reasons; they cause more explosions than a fireworks factory fire and play music at such a volume that it can often be heard 17 kilometers from where they play. Well, the same thing happened here, with a powerful and loud sound (perhaps too low in the place where we were present at the concert), well supported by sound towers strategically placed so that everyone can hear everything in loud and clear sound. . With the volume pumped up, you could feel the bass rumble through the foundation of the stadium. Taken into account: nothing much has changed on the stage since we last saw them, but everything has gotten bigger, much bigger.

Four minutes late – 9:34 p.m. seems to have been strategically chosen to ensure that the musicians would only take the stage at night – and the stadium went dark. To the sounds “Music for the Royal Fireworks”now made an anthem RAMMSTEIN, the group’s symbol hangs on the screen of the structure’s giant central tower. The stage lights up as we see Lindemann being lowered in the elevator. The first flames appear and RAMMSTEIN start engines, as is known, with the help of “Rama Song”. Cell phones stay in the air, capturing the moment, but bodies move to the sound of always benevolent “Links 2-3-4”with priceless Christian “Doctor Flake” Lorenz to remain unstoppable on the treadmill next to the keyboard, while the audience alternately dances and shakes their heads, lulled by undeniable hooks. Journey into the past withPunish me” e”Yearning“, how in “poisonous” in the middle of the passion subsided a little. This or all approached what he saw. After that there is a feeling “My heart burns” and alivePuppet” they made everyone sing in unison again. For two hours, the sold-out crowd at the Estádio da Luz not only saw the band play some of their greatest hits. It really happened. Played almost all big games hitsA “Germany”A “Do you have”A “My Part”A “Sonne”A “I want” and even the song of the same name, but it was the show itself – performance – which turned out to be completely out of this world.
The level of pyrotechnics is indescribable: Lindemann wears a wheel on his back, spewing fire in all directions, and the guitarists Paul Landers e Richard Kruspe armed with two huge flamethrowers attached to their guitars and firing huge flames. There are more innocent things like huge guns confetti which envelop the entire stadium with paper tapes. And everywhere there is fire, a lot of fire. At times, heat was felt on the face, anywhere from the lawn to the stands farthest from the main structure, and waves of pyrotechnics lit up not only the stage, but also the four towers that towered above the crowd and left them. dark puffs of smoke hang in the sky. There was literally a feeling that we were among the rubble of some devastated post-futuristic city. Then there were more earthy things, with a small stage arranged in the middle of the hall (slightly to the left of those who are facing the stage), where musicians joined the crowd. ABELAR interpret “Engel”, which opened the first Encore. After that, the band members returned to the main stage in inflatable rubber boats and attacked the luxurious trio, consisting of “Foreigner“,”You smell so good»e«Without you“. in a second bis planned, but still very much in demand) there was still time to listen to “Rammstein“,”I want“and, at the moment of farewell, very appropriate”Goodbye“.

Exposed. Images Proving Thiago Rodriguez Wasn’t Defeated, He Just Fell
Brazilian actor Thiago Rodriguez, 42, was exposed by CCTV footage near the site where he was allegedly attacked and robbed. After all, he had just fallen from the structure on which he was sitting, and hit his head and face on the ground, which led to injuries.🇧🇷 He ended up lying on the floor for about 30 minutes until he was rescued by two people passing by who helped him. The case angered the Brazilians.
It was the Brazilian Civil Police itself that released the CCTV images showing that the thesis defended by the Brazilian actor, who is currently starring in the TVI soap opera Quero É Viver, is not true. Police Chief Bianca Lima confirmed to Record TV’s Domingo Espetacular that the fall was the cause of the actor’s injuries, not the robbers’ aggression.
The images were captured by cameras at a commercial establishment located in Plaza Santos Dumont in Rio de Janeiro, 200 meters from the Jockey Club where Thiago went to party and was expelled from. According to the records, it was 5:40 in the morning when the actor sat on a metal structure, which is located in the square, lost his balance and fell face down on the ground. Only at about 6:10 am he was rescued by two people passing by. However, it is not clear if these people stole the actor’s mobile phone, which has since disappeared, or if Thiago simply lost it in the fall.
As a result of the fall, the actor received cuts on his head and was even forced to put a few stitches on his head. After that, Thiago went to file a complaint with the police, claiming that he was attacked and robbed by criminals. But that theory didn’t make much sense as the actor still had the wallet and backpack he had that night. “A backpack with things, a wallet and a rope were with him. And we wondered if anyone who goes for such violence would take only a mobile phone,” the police chief explained.

After all, Thiago Rodriguez was not beaten. The actor will be left alone – News
Brazilian authorities have denied the story of an alleged attack that allegedly targeted Thiago Rodriguez. The police, agreeing with the video, which is already circulating on social networks, indicate that the actor did fall alone.
Security cameras in buildings near where Thiago Rodriguez was found show him sitting on an iron and falling forward moments later.
The G1 website guarantees that the authorities will suspend the investigation into a possible robbery, given that “the investigation has proven the absence of criminally significant facts.”
However, it is still necessary to understand where the actor’s mobile phone is located. The police, according to the same media, are trying to understand if it was stolen when Thiago was lying on the ground unconscious.
Recall that the 42-year-old artist said that he was robbed at the exit of a bar in Rio de Janeiro.
Thiago Rodriguez is part of the cast of the soap opera Quero É Viver currently airing on TVI.
Watch the video below, published by the Brazilian press, in which you can see the fall of the actor.
