Radio Moscow

March also brings some rock n’ roll to Porto since Radio Moscow will be paying us a visit. They managed to create the perfect formula: a little bit of psychedelic rock with some blues, resulting in a somewhat retro sound that makes you want to ride a motorcycle and go on a road trip. Their insane guitar riffs are definitely worth listening to live, so you shouldn’t miss this one if you’re a fan of the genre. The Black Wizards will also be performing as a supporting act.

When: 20/03/2019
Where: Hard Club
