The festival that combines music, dance, art, and technology returns this Friday until Sunday, June 30th and July 2nd. Parque Urbano da Pasteleira hosts the fifth edition of Elétrico, which gathers producers from electronic music of great notoriety internationally.

Ricardo Villalobos, A Guy called Gerald, Todd Terje or Carl Craig stand out in the 21 acts of the line-up, which groups some of the biggest entertainers nation-wide, such as Diana Oliveira, David Moreira, Moullinex, and Rui Vargas.

Many electronic music and dance niches will be represented, with creators from different generations entertaining an environment that combines the urban and the natural. The first beats will be played at 2pm, but there is a lot more to the festival than just the DJ sets.

An exhibition of banners, a fair with art from local artists, conferences on innovation and technology, a space dedicated to mindfulness, yoga, and meditation, and also a space for children complete the program.

The festival, that according to its organiser, Sidebeats, “brings the world to Porto and brings Porto to the world”, has Municipal support once again, through Ágora.

Daily (40 euros) and general (80 euros) tickets are still available in the event’s website.

Schedule:

Friday: 2pm – 1am
