You read it right, it’s time for some November Events suggestions!
We know the month of November can be hard as we are still trying to get used to the cold, but we are sure these events will give you that extra push to get out of the house. This month we have very experimental events, unique experiences that will occupy both your time and your mind plus, concerts, cinema and a suggestion for a (probably) much-needed night out on the town.
Come check out our November Events suggestions!

Stavroz

Stravroz gave their own special touch to electronic music due to their unique orchestration of sounds, leading to their enigmatic, complex and hypnotizing sets. This vibe matches extremely well with Pérola Negra and we believe it will be one of those nights where everything will be aligned so that you can have an unforgettable time. Don’t miss this chance to see these guys perform live as it will be their only performance in Portugal!

Balthazar

In November it’s time to receive with open arms Belgian band Balthazar, for their first concert in Porto. After a short break, the band released the album “Fever” that was a massive success amongst long time fans and the perfect introduction to new audiences. These recent songs can be described as groovy, with distinct bass lines and a somewhat retro sound that is already characteristic of the band. Tickets are flying away, so hurry and get yours here.
