Após dois anos à condição, 2022 foi finalmente um ano cheio. Cheio de concertos, festivais e música fora de portas em geral, com um claro vislumbre sobre o que era a vida cultural antes de 2020.
Foi em 2022 que vimos o regresso de alguns dos principais festivais nacionais, como NOS Alive, Super Bock Super Rock, Rock In Rio Lisboa, Primavera Sound Porto ou Vodafone Paredes de Coura. Foi também o ano de estreia do MEO Kalorama e do Sónar Lisboa e de reafirmação de festivais especializados ou de nicho, como o SonicBlast, o OUT.FEST, o Extramuralhas ou o Woodrock, entre tantos exemplos que podiam ser citados.
Em baixo fazemos o balanço individual de cinco membros da equipa, em discos e concertos. Que 2023 seja um ano igualmente preenchido e culturalmente relevante.
Bom ano.
