From Eternalized Weasel and Imagine Dragons ″unforgettable″ on the last day of life
The return day marks the end of Alive. Da Weasel immortalized the soul of Portuguese hip-hop on stage, and Imagine Dragons celebrated their third festival appearance with the craftsmanship we’ve become accustomed to on a sold-out day. This year, the festival was visited by 210,000 people, confirming its return in 2023.
Early on Saturday morning, dozens of T-shirts from Imagine Dragons, one of the headliners that closed the last day of Alive, were already wandering along the Alges promenade. Thiago Fernandez, 29, and Casemira Lima, 28, traveled over 300 kilometers to see the pop rock band for the second time. “When we saw them in 2017 it was impressive and now I know it will be the same,” defended the Guimarães youth. Despite being “more commercial”, the couple assumed they were looking forward to the return of the Dan Reynolds band.
“It’s time”, the band’s first single, released in 2011, set the tone for the “catchy” performance that Imagine Dragons presented NOS Alive to the public. “I can’t pick a highlight. The whole concert was unforgettable and every moment was unique,” said 21-year-old Joao Maia from Santarem. Wearing a T-shirt with the band’s name on it, the young man revealed that the pauses created in the performance to introduce the next song, and therefore to make it easier to communicate each one, were his favorite moments. Imagine Dragons arrived with a structured show where a male voice sang around the room between songs, explaining the next song and its meaning. For two hours vocalist Dan Reynolds was always in touch with the audience and made inspirational messages part of the show. As everyone expected, there were some hits from the group such as “Thunder”, “Bones”, “Enemy” and “Radioactive”. Surprisingly, the band performed a cover of Alphaville’s hit “Forever Young” to honor the memory of all Ukrainians who are going through a difficult time. Thus, the talented Imagine Dragons celebrated their third performance at one of the largest festivals in the country.
Nostalgia with Da Weasel
It was the moment everyone has been talking about ever since the reunion was announced in 2019. “This is a special day for Alive. The Portuguese band has exhausted a historic moment,” said Alvaro Kovois, director of the festival, at a press conference. , hours before the performance. “I’m curious to look at Da Weasel, I’ve never seen them perform, but I believe that all this will break,” Thiago Fernandez admitted at the beginning of the day, and it seems that the hunch was correct. “The climax happened from start to finish,” Tanya Nogueira said excitedly. The now 32-year-old Porto native grew up listening to the rhymes and beats of Da Weasel. “I’ve already seen ten of their concerts, and even after so many years it seems that time has not passed.” On one of the happiest days of her life, Tanya found her teenage group again, she says, and hopes she doesn’t have to wait “another 14 years for it to happen again.”
The magic of Da Weasel is that she didn’t reach one generation. Proof of this is that the group, formed in 1993 and disbanded in 2010, remains one of the most popular bands in Portugal. There are those who adore them even though they were only ten years old when it came to an end. “We listened to the band when we were 10-15 years old, and today’s concert was a new meeting with those times. I still can’t believe that I managed to hear them,” said Salvador Meira, 28 years old. For Ana Faustino, the chilling moment of the evening was “when everyone sang the theme ‘Retreatment’ a cappella.” As the stage fell silent, the audience chanted the chorus of one of the band’s most popular themes. The Da Weasel giants are older but no less talented. After so many years, they continue to sing “Gials of tenderness”, “Casa” and “Advinha quem return” with the same skill.
Closing the stage It was at the Two Door Cinema Club, where their latest album, False Alarm, was premiered, with the band returning to the studio. Not forgetting topics such as “What do you know” that delight everyone.
Famous rockers Parov, Phoebe Brigders and even Manel Cruz performed on the stage of Heinken, who performed at the same time as headliners Imagine Dragons.
confirmed return
210,000 people marched through the Alges Seaside Promenade in four days, with only Wednesday not reaching its maximum capacity of 55,000 spectators. The “dream” of the “Best Comeback of All Time” has come true and will be repeated on July 6, 7 and 8, 2023 at the usual location.

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.
