Bringing people from all over the world together, it will create a truly safe space for everyone who knows and understands that music is an act of liberation.
“Combining inclusion with fun, the festival will help the City of Porto and local organizations to raise their support for LGBT+ people and will be the epicentre of the celebration of equality values. It will give a stage to LGBT+ artists and their allies, whilst elevating national artists to new heights.”
