Music, Creativity & Technology in Lisbon this weekend!

The international Sonar Festival hits Lisbon this weekend with an impressive 24/7 program on 4 super venues scattered around town.

And NO – this is NOT a festival or event for specific generations. If you – like me – got lost in grooves and beats from electronica, minimal techno and EDM in the 90ies I am pretty sure that Plastikman brings back memories. He (Richie Hawtin) is headlining on Friday (Saturday) at 2 am!

And If you – like me – find the Ghetto Sound of Lisbon much more interesting than Fado I am pretty sure that get your a** shaken when the father of Príncipe Records DJ Marfox shares his Nintendo-Afro-beats the at 1:25 same day/night (Why are these 2 super acts playing at the same time????)

If you – again like me – got soaked into the www in the 90’s, got your mind blown away by augmented reality and AI in the 00’s and widened you office to include the whole world thank’s all the new possibilities from new technologies no one could imagine only a few years earlier then the days are packed with inspirational talks, exhibitions, shows and people.
