Optimus Primavera Sound 2013
30, May, 2013 >> 1, Jun, 2013
Parque da Cidade
Given the huge success of Porto Primavera Sound of 2012, which gathered in Porto City Park about 65,000 people from all corners of the world, Porto hosts the festival's 2nd edition, with the support of Porto’s Municipality, through Porto Lazer. This Portuguese city is ideal to receive an event with the “Primavera Sound” seal, since it shares with Barcelona certain idiosyncratic traces, such as its location by the sea, the pleasant climate, its dimensions, its entrepreneurial character or its services' offers.
This edition will take place from the 30 May to the 1 June in the City Park, a big sized urban park,located close to the Atlantic coast and capable of receiving around 30,000 persons a day.
Many artists have already booked their place on the stages of the Optimus Primavera Sound, which is increasingly becoming indispensible for those who enjoy good music.
