Harry Styles epic night
The Love on Tour concert in Portugal, sold out for many months, produced more than 20 songs, which was a celebration for the audience and the singer.
Effervescent, festive, deafening atmosphere all the time. There are many possible adjectives to describe what happened at the Altice Arena in Lisbon this Sunday during Harry Styles’ solo debut in Portugal, but few can sum up what actually happened. It was one of the most anticipated concerts of recent years in Portugal and the former One Direction member, who is now leading a brilliant solo career, paid tribute to him.
It must be remembered that the anticipation around this event was monumental. Sold out for many months, twice postponed, Love on Tour caused an almost unprecedented ticket rush. Inspired by their teenage sons and daughters, desperate parents have spent the past few weeks trying to find the best tickets. lucky, he told JN the local security team. Fans paid almost 200 euros for special seats, the rest went to the pavilion very early, under the scorching sun. There were flags, colorful scarves, T-shirts, posters, statements.
However, in Lisbon, it was noted that not only teenagers are becoming more numerous and devoted fans of Styles. There were a lot of young people in the hall, yes, One Direction fans, right – the sheer hysteria with which one of the band’s themes sounded in the speakers before the concert was met, if there were any doubts. But there was much more. This is a whole phenomenon that includes enthusiastic parents, lovers of all genres – after One Direction in the break columns, Kings of Leon was met with almost the same hysteria as the incredibly sung “Bohemian Rhapsody” from beginning to end. crowded room, including children and teenagers. Altis was a sea of people of all ages, couples, families, pregnant women; groups of friends, new and newly created, foreigners.
Stiles, 28, dozens of records and accumulated prizes, 12 minutes late and then power; started with “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” accompanied by a band of five, two of them women – an impressive drummer and bassist/keyboardist. Everyone is dressed the same, all in pink, like a singer. Immediately, the phenomenon and reputation of the Briton began to be perceived live: on the first topic it already seemed that it was worth a trip, such was the energy, dance, greetings, communication, kisses and winks of the eyes to the public, racing, claw. How are you, Lisbon? he asked the second “Golden”, already playing the guitar, at a moment when it was almost difficult to hear the concert, as the audience was screaming loudly. “Good evening Lisbon, my name is Harry and welcome to the last show of the tour,” he later said. “I want you to have fun, dance. Feel free to be who you always wanted to be,” he emphasized before asking the audience to join hands with the person next to them; and even to say “I love you” to the person next to him, the instructions, however unusual, are quickly carried out.
The room was made up of designated places, but not for sitting: this is because the chairs were for everyone, but few people used them. In each of them, upon arrival, the fans were waiting for a paper heart, setting the tone of the night and the following theme: “I adore you.” The interaction with the audience was constant and even during the songs there were constant kisses, bows, thanks, running around until the end of the stage. After “Daylight” and “Cinema” “Keep Driving”, the theme of the new “Harry’s House”, which touches on a more alternative side of the musician, preceded the acoustic moment with “Matilda”. Once again thanking the fans, he sang it in the center aisle of the stage with two of the female members of the band and, seizing the moment, in the same register and in the same register of the new album, “Boyfriends” followed.
In “Lights Up”, Harry receives from the audience and wears a rainbow scarf and flag to symbolize LGBTQIA+. Then, in his habit of giving space to public displays, he reads many request posters and chooses the one that read “Help me propose”; passes the microphone to a Portuguese couple proposing in public, in the middle of a concert. Harry jokes and says that after “celebrating something beautiful, this engagement”, he wants to celebrate his “second favorite thing to do in Portugal”: with the right to “drum roll”, he shows a pastel de nata and speaks with a strong British accent, draws to the typical village humor that “these things are unbelievable.”

After love, its other causes and attributes – tolerance and kindness – are in the next topic, which is also the motto of Stiles and his followers: “Treat people with kindness.” After the One Direction tour with “What Makes You Beautiful” and also with “Late Night Talking”, the artist once again defends how incredible the Portuguese public is, and then with “Love of My Life”. He then drops a “thank you Lisbon” as if he’s walking away but can’t leave the stage and picks up a guitar for a rare “Fine Line” with some fans already crying profusely – perhaps because of the theme itself. , surprise, catharsis of the concert or its imminent finale.
The encore is “Sign of the Times”, a key song in Styles’ career: after the collapse of One Direction, the solo debut with this single came as a surprise to many, since it was not a simple and fun pop theme, but with its time, more dense, almost a child between booty, indie and the 70s – like Stiles himself. The song caught the attention of a new audience in the early days of his solo career, and the risk paid off, nearly reaching a billion views on YouTube. Live, it was an amazing new moment, consisting of deafening choirs and thousands of lights.
Still encore, from the second album “Fine Line”, “Watermelon Sugar” – one of the singer’s other great record hits – was hysterically received in Lisbon. An unexpected calmer moment ensued when Stiles calls Ellie Rowsell of Wolf Alice, the band from the first leg of the Lisbon tour that he never tired of thanking and praising nightly, an indie band with a cult following also growing in Portugal. With Ellie, he performs “No Hard Feelings” before the final party in chameleon mode, first with the infectious pop of “As it Was” and then again with some 70s-sounding rock, mannerisms and The dance that got him started is often compared to Mick Jagger (including aerial kicks) in Kiwi.
“No one knows like me that it’s useless if you don’t come. You have changed my life and are constantly changing my life,” he tells the audience again at the end, adding, “This shouldn’t be happening to people like me and it’s only because of you.” On the last night of July, it was a tropical and heavy night outside Altice Arena due to the smell of smoke from fires near the capital. Indoors, in the same abrasive heat, more than 15,000 people of all ages, styles, expressions, tastes celebrated music, kindness and freedom for almost two hours, messages from a chameleon and whole artist, where energy, gratitude and return are undeniable; and where all the airtime and attention of thousands of fans is dedicated to promoting love and inclusion. Everything about Styles is peace, tolerance and gratitude, and it seems sincere, starting to understand why this phenomenon would even become the goal of a research department at an American university. “It was the best summer of my life,” the singer once said of a tour that ended Sunday in Lisbon. Certainly, it was the best night in the lives of many young people present in the hall.

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.
