The season might seem cooler and appeal to stay indoors, but the "Portugal ao Vivo" event will herald the reunion among artists and audiences; two of the major national producers joined the city Hall of Porto and of Lisbon to present 40 shows simultaneously: 20 performances at the Super Bock Arena - Pavilhão Rosa Mota and another 20 performances at the campo Pequeno. The first show is scheduled for 31st October, with Xutos & Pontapés taking to the stage; the final concert happens on 19th December, with Mariza. 

The event is themed "Santa Casa - Portugal ao Vivo", and the main goal is to help livelihoods of arts and culture, supporting arts and the artistic sector in Portugal.

The "20 20 Cultura para todos" ["20 20 Culture for all", free translation] initiative is jointly produced by Everything is New and PEV Entertainment, in partnership with the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, the City Hall of Lisbon, EGEAC and Porto City Hall, via the municipal company Ágora - Cultura e Desporto.

The headliners are 100 per cent Portuguese artists, the cream of the crop of the Portuguese music and sitcom: Xutos & Pontapés, Mariza, Rui Veloso, Amor Electro, Aurea, Jorge Palma, Diogo Piçarra, Carminho, Dino D'Santiago, Mafalda Veiga, Paulo Gonzo, Camané and Mário Laginha, Plutonio, Richie Campbell, Fernando Rocha, Moonspell, Anjos and David Carreira are some of the confirmed artists.

All performances are organised following the health measures in place, issued by the DGS. The use of face masks is mandatory, all places will be duly identified, and the public must comply with social distancing measures, if they are not part of the same household. Entry and exit follow separate circuits.
