Durante the three days of the event, artists such as Barbara Tinoco, Wet Bed Gang, D.A.M.A, HMB, Chico da Tina, The Gift, Moonspell, Clan, Slow J, Carminho or the Algarve Orchestra will perform at the festival and offer the public a poster “that goes through pop, hip hop, fado, rock, electronics and jazz”, highlighted the organization, in charge of the Chamber of Faro, Ambifaro and the Theatre of Figures.

On the stage there will also be names such as Branko, Papillon, Mind da Gap, Maninho, Danni Gato, Chameleon Azul, among many others, but the F Festival has also planned tertulias during the three days, diversifying the festival program, which extends until 5 September.

On Thursday, “the starting point is Music in Female. A 04, Manuela Azevedo, Fernando Ribeiro and Martim Sousa Tavares gather at a table that crosses pop, metal and classical music, the same day that the Clan and Moonspell rise to the festival stage. The 05, the national hip hop is at the center of the discussion ", anticipated the organization.

Galp Street will host “the Artists & Fleas”, space that “reunites creators, artists and independent small producers” and where you can find crafts, ‘design’, illustration, fashion, jewellery, natural cosmetics and other copyright projects.

A space for children from 6 to 10 years old, in Largo de San Francisco, next to the Stage Ria, will be available between 8 p.m. and 00 p.m., with “activities and playful-pedagogical experiences”.

Visitors can also see the exhibitions “Look at the Landscape: From the collections of the MNAA” and “Portuguese Art XIX-XX Century: Miguel Duarte Collection”, while the photograph will be present with an exhibition of ALFA – Free Association of Photographers of the Algarve, of the American photographer Kathryn Barnard.

It is also planned to perform ‘videomapping’ shows at the Factory Stage, where “the Fuse – design lab presents projections that cross image, light and sound, leading to visual creation into the public space and adding a new dimension to the path through the historical center”, said the organizers.

The festival also prepared street animation between concerts, with the Choral Ossónoba Group, the dance of Urban Expression, Poetry and Company and the ruins of Al Fanfare and Funkarmonica to take “different languages to Vila Aentro”.

“ There are 67 concerts distributed on seven stages, on a route that occupies streets, squares and broads of the historical center and turns the city back into a live stage for three days ", highlighted the organization.

Faro thus receives, between Thursday and September 5th, a poster that “collects some of the most striking names of Portuguese music” and presents to the public “projects in full affirmation and artists who now make their first appearances at the festival”, he considered.
