Exclusive concerts «laria adentro», on board a boat, and glamping, or luxury camping, at the Nautical Center of Praia de Faro are the big news of the 2019 edition of the F Festival, which will take place from September 5th to 7th, in Cidade Velha de Faro.
The Chamber of Faro announced today, Thursday, some news that will mark this year's edition of the F, in an initiative carried out in conjunction with Altice, which will, in 2019, deepen the partnership with the Faro municipality, which had already rehearsed, albeit in a small scale, in the 2017 edition of the festival.
Even so, the poster has not yet been announced, nor the values for this year's ticket, nor the price associated with the two great novelties, which will have to be paid separately and will have a "differentiated value adjusted to them"
In «intimate» concerts to be held on a boat, between 18pm and 00pm, «the public will be able to enjoy a spectacle, but also the sunset, in the middle of the Ria Formosa», described Gil Silva, director of Teatro das Figuras.
In this case, «the invited artists will be exclusive, that is, they will not give other concerts within the scope of Festival F, only those on the boat».
The capacity of these concerts, whose ticket will have to be purchased separately, is «from 150 to 200 people, depending on the technical solutions that are found».
Another novelty are the glamping tents that will be made available, for rent, at Praia de Faro, more precisely at the Nautical Center.
This offer comes as a result of several requests, since, according to Gil Silva, «many people asked us about the possibility of camping».
The solution found is not for the masses, but only for some of the festival-goers, since only “15 to 30 tents” will be installed. Those who rent them will have the guarantee of transportation to the festival and back to the Nautical Center, during the three days of the festival.
«More than a camping offer, it will be, above all, a unique experience that brings together camping, enjoying the Ria Formosa and the F/Praia de Festival itself Faro», according to the Chamber of Faro.
Today's session also served to announce the deepening of the partnership between Altice and the Chamber of Faro, «after a first, more discreet experience, in 2017».
In 2019, Altice will reinforce its presence at the festival and ensure "all wi-fi and communications solutions on the premises", open to the general public, as well as "technological solutions inherent to the operation of the event itself".
Alexandre Fonseca, executive director of Altice, says that the «direct and indirect» participation of this company, in the festival, «will involve a financial effort between 30 and 40 thousand euros». In addition to the technology to be made available, there will be a financial sponsorship.
«Coming soon», the poster of the F Festival 2019 will be presented.
