Porto is already preparing the big night of New Year's Eve. At a party with a Porto accent, the New Year's Eve will be livened up by Tiago Nacarato and Miguel Araújo. In between, there will also be the traditional firework display, launched at midnight sharp from the City Hall building.


Tiago Nacarato and Miguel Araújo will liven up the New Year's Eve


A year after having recorded the biggest throng in its history, gathering around 200 thousand people, Avenida dos Aliados is once again the stage of all the celebrations on the night of New Year's Eve. Tiago Nacarato and Miguel Araújo will be the artists who will liven up the evening, before and after the traditional fireworks display, launched at midnight sharp from the building of Porto City Hall.


The first one to step on the stage will be the native from Porto, Tiago Nacarato, from 10:30 pm, in what will be his solo debut in the largest "hall" of the city.

The musician that Portugal got to know two years ago when he participated on RTP's "The Voice", now has a solid solo career, selling out concert halls from north to south of the country, but also in Brazil. Born and raised in Porto, but with strong Brazilian roots, he released his first album, "Lugar Comum", on October of this year.


Then, Miguel Araújo will be back “home” for the first major concert of 2020. With five solo albums - "Cinco Dias e Meio" (2012), "Crónicas da Cidade Grande" (2014), "Cidade Grande ao Vivo no Coliseu do Porto" (2015), "Giesta" (2017) and "Uma Noite na Philarmonie Luxembourg" (2018) - Miguel Araújo is back at Aliados to share with his audience some of the hits of Portuguese music from this century.


The party will continue later, until the early hours, with the duo Radiola, which joins the Dj Gonçalo Mendonça and Francisco Aires Pereira, two of the biggest promoters of the city’s nightlife.


Gonçalo Mendonça has performed in several festivals such as AliveMarés Vivasand Iminente, and is now 100 percent dedicated to Calypso, a traveling series of secret parties that began in London and has also passed through Frankfurt and Porto, among others. Francisco Aires Pereira, in turn, is a resident DJ of avant-garde venues in the city, such as Plano Band Pérola Negra.


Apart from Aliados, there will be two more alternative stages in the city, respectively in Praça dos Poveiros and Largo Amor de Perdição, both of which have free access.


However, be sure to take into account the traffic restrictions that exist during this festive season in the city, precisely due to the entertainment programmes that advise to use public transport to reach the city centre.
