The poster of the event was presented this Monday, June 4th, at Capitólio, in Lisbon, event in which the Sul Informação was present.
Salvador Sobral is part of this year's lineup, after the 2017 concerts were canceled due to the musician's state of health.
Other confirmed names are Dead Combo, The Gift, Sergio Godinho, Manel Cruz, Rodrigo Leão, Blaya, Aurea, Cristina Branco, Moonspell, Slow J, Piruka and the Brazilian DJ Patife.
Kátia Guerreiro with the Southern Classical Orchestra, Raquel Tavares, The Legendary Tiger Man, Daniel Kemish and Paus will also perform.
The poster also includes Bispo, Brass Wires Orchestra, DJ Glue, Domi, Elisa Rodrigues, Ermo, Filipe Sambado, Golden Slumbers, Holly Hood, Homies and Janeiro.
The “F” is closed with João Só, Kappa Jotta, Luís Severo, 1955, Nuno Luz (DJ Rádio Comercial), Papillon, Sacik Brow, Sean Riley and Wilson Honrado, also a DJ at Comercial.
Moving from music to stand up comedy, there will be the participation of Eduardo Madeira and the Algarvian Môce dum Cabréste. The “F” will also have exhibitions, theater, in partnership with the LAMA association, street animation, video mapping, gatherings, visual arts, children's programming and author's handicrafts.
The success of the space of street food, proven in previous editions, ensures its presence again in 2018.
In the presentation of the festival, Rogério Bacalhau, Mayor, highlighted the fact that “F” is a “Portuguese music” event, bringing together “acclaimed artists and others on the rise”. The mayor also made a point of mentioning Joaquim Guerreiro, creator of the festival, who died in September 2017.
In total, there will be seven music stages, including the Ria, in Largo de São Francisco, distributed throughout Vila Adentro.
Paulo Santos, vice president of the municipality, revealed that Palco Afonso III will return and in a different format. There will be a DJ, with the audience being able to choose between two sets and listen, in headphones, without causing noise.
This year there will also be a new gateway to Arco do Repouso, which joins Arco da Vila and Ria. As for the venue space it will be similar to last year.
Whoever goes to the "F" will still have a big news: it will be possible to see Faro from above, through three hot air balloons.
In total, 137 bands have gone through the festival and the space has grown from 5 thousand, in the first year, to 38 thousand square meters today.
Children up to 12 years old, inclusive, do not pay a ticket, as long as they are accompanied by an adult and their identification.
