Are You in Your Fifties? Remember 80's Festival Was Designed For You!

It's in Crato, it's not near, but remember, you can dance to the sound of your youth. Remember 80's is the reason to squish into those 36 size pants and go crazy.

 

The inland begins, thank God, to appear less and less forgotten and distant thanks to this type of event: if you want to dance to the sound of your youth, come, come altogether to Crato, there is an elixir that will take you again to your twenties, to wide shoulders and Mohican hair design.

Remember 80's, in the village of Crato, Alentejo, remembered us, those who in 1980 were 20 years old and were lean, desirable and daring. Whatever the reason that takes us to the inland will help it revitalizing. What matters is to get out of crowded Lisbon, all Portugal is beautiful and unique, and nothing is distant than 3 hours by car.

 

 

The Cock Robin duet, and in the opening photo, the LP Cairo by Portuguese Taxi, in 1982, boldly edited not in cardboard but in a circular metal can. Today this is considered a cult record, both package and music.

 

The Crato village is very close to the Portalegre - Marvão - Castelo de Vide magic triangle, a unique historical landscape, at Portugal and worldly, full of Jewish tales and stories of enchanted Moors princesses, alluring men by ruined castles on full moon light.

But this time it is not classical History that takes us to the Alto Alentejo, it is our most recent story, that one about each of us, who crossed their youth dreaming about Madonna, or Nick Kershaw. Or both.

This is the first of, hopefully, many editions of Remember 80's Festival, desirable not only for your youth idols, but also, in fact, by the opportunity to see many of them, live. 

For now, confirmed are the presences of Cock Robin (immortalized with "Remember the promise you made" and Anna LaCazio's uncombed swish), Jesus Loves Jezebel, best known for the Break the Chain song, Imagination (it's all an illusion, huhuhuhu-haha) and our Portuguese band Taxi whom, of all the participants known so far at the festival, are the only ones who are more beautiful now than when they were in their 20’s. It must be for this reason, how gracefully we age in Portugal, that all famous people want to come to live here.

 

 

The Jesus Loves Jezebel, or the Gothic from thef 80's, a fashion that is an eternal returning.

 

The festival takes place July 6 and 7, Cock Robin and Imagination on the first day and Taxi and JLJ on the second.

The price is so cheap that we could almost say that the ticket is free: € 5 each day, bought at Ticket Line.

By the end of August, pop music and rock will return to Crato with the usual Crato Festival from August 29 to September 1, and this year as headliners we can count on Morcheeba, Ugly Kid Joe and Xutos & Pontapés.
