Hello NEARians & mutiDAO!
We are excited to present to you today the first edition of Echo Sound 2022 happening in Lisbon.
// FACTS
Name: Echo Sound 2022
Location: Lisbon, Portugal
Dates: 10 & 11th of September
Website: echosoundfestival.com
// DESCRIPTION
Echo Sound presents itself as a festival that promotes the Lisbon music scene. The program mostly features emerging artists, presenting approximately 15 local bands and DJs. The festival is also aiming to bring international bands as well as projects from other Portuguese cities to Lisbon.
In addition to showcasing the local music scene of Lisbon, it intends to invite visual artists and VJ’s to complement the program with its artistic contamination. Another presence of the festival will be a market for products from small local shopkeepers related to the music scene (vinyl, labels, merchandise producers) as well as craft and food stands.
Through recordings, videos and photography, we are not just archiving the festival, but also increasing the visibility of the emerging artists - this material can be used by the bands e.g. also for future promotional activities. Echo Sound sees itself as a starting point to spotlight emerging artists and provide them a stage for their future development.
// OBJECTIVES
Echo Sound’s main goal is to bring the music scene of Lisbon together. The festival wants to give artists a stage, where they can present their creation to the local community and raise their visibility. In addition to this, Echo Sound wants to create a network between the local artists of Lisbon and other players in the music scene.
- Bring the music scene of Lisbon together - min. 85 % of the presenting emerging artists are based in Lisbon;
