The Primadonnas

Wikipedia Work - The Super Bock Super Rock Festival

Affirming itself as the precursor of the format of all the actual festivals of music that take place in Portugal, the Super Bock Super Rock festival it’s the only one that have been taking place during the passed 11 years, consequently, placing Portugal on the route of the great European music festivals.

The Super Bock Super Rock was the predecessor of the other music festivals, demonstrating that Portugal is a country that acquires human resources and structures of quality, that allow to receive great events and artist of international name, that throughout the years have been the best ambassadors of Portugal next to the musical industry at a world scale. The first editions of the festival allowed a contact with the Portuguese public, in a direction of knowing its profile, its tastes and habits of consumption, its behavior, helping to create a better way to attend to one public each way more informed and selective.

It all started in 1995, when some of the European countries had already made mega concerts (festivals), the company Unicer, in an association with the brand of beer Super Book, decided to produce a mega concert of two days, with a dozen of national and international bands, near the Tagus River, behind the Gare Marítima of Alcântara.

The first Super Bock Super Rock had open the way for Portugal to appear in the European circuit of summer festivals.

In this edition, 13 bands, 20 hours of music with artists like Yousson N’Dour, The Cure, Faith no More, Morphine or Young Gods, ended up in good critics from the media and the public in general.

The second edition took place the year after, 1996 at the Passeio Marítimo de Alcântara, on the 21^st, 22^nd and the 23^rd of June.

This second Super Bock Super Rock was as great as the first one and had bring artist to Portugal such as David Bowie, The Prodigy, Neneh Cherry, massive Attack, Divine Comedy, between others.

At 1997 at Passeio Marítimo de Algés the mega concert was only two days of great music.

Two years had been enough to make this festival one reference of the biggest international music events. “(…) the Super Bock Super Rock festival is the pionner of the new era of festivals in Portugal” – in Blitz * - 01.07.97 * Blitz- Portuguese music magazine.

Portugal had receive in 1998 the World exposition, the Expo’98, and in this year the festival had move to Parque das Nações (the area created to receive the Expo’98), more specifically, at Praça Sony.

By this time the Super Bock Super Rock was already one of the highest points of annual agenda of modern music in Portugal, seen as a spot were some of the greatest artist of the moment perform.

On this fourth edition, the Praça Sony was crowded with an enthusiastic audience assisting live to performances of Morphine, Fastball or Van Morrison.

At the fifth Super Bock Festival, the organization decided to revolutionize the cultural industry in Portugal, through the decentralization and diversification of the festival, make it happen in six different show rooms, three cities (Lisbon, Oporto and Gaia) in ten days.

From the 27^th of June until the 6^th of July it took place at Coliseum of Recreios, Aula Magna, Paradise Garage, Praça Sony, Oporto Coliseum and Hard Club. Dozens of concerts, different styles and music tendencies.

On 2000 the festival had been transformed into a real cultural event, with a total of 29 shows, 25 bands, 38 performances and 5 stages in three cities (Lisbon, Vila Nova de Gaia and Oporto).

It were two electrifying weeks, with the realization ok workshops about guitar, base, drumming and keyboards and one day dedicated to the era of cinema, the megamarathon of cinema (at Rivoli) had made the relationship between modern music and the seventh art (with movies chose by Mario Dorminsky) plus the seminars that took place at the Fnac store’s (at Lisbon and Oporto) which had marked the first serious attempt for a conversation about modern music at Portugal.

On this sixth edition the organization initiates the selling of Festival Tickets (passes) per rooms at competitive and economic prices, allowing the public the easy access to all shows.

Success? Clear and Absolute! And not only in public support but also in quality of the concerts, it will be difficult to forget the Beck party (that already had confessed that haven’t yet found public like the Portuguese one), the invasion of the stage by the Bush (that No Doubt had came to see acting), the triumphal reception of Da Weasel, Ornatos Violeta , Paralamas do Sucesso (with a legion of musicians watching the concert: Delfins, Rui Veloso, Xutos, between others) or the insane Bloodhound Gang.

The feedback of the 2000 festival was so positive that the expectations for the next one were higher, but the challenge was owned once again in 2001, not only because of the quality of the bands chosen and the prolongation of the seminars and workshops, but also because of the creations of the Super New Bands (Super Novas Bandas) and the tribute to The Beatles “Come Together”, one distinctive and unrepeatable musical event, specially produce by the Super Bock Super Rock team. Ala dos Namorados, Blind Zero, Clã, Mafalda Veiga, Rui Veloso, Silence 4 e Xutos e Pontapés were names invited to make parte f this special and never made event were versions of some classics of the band of Liverpool were played.

The Super New Bands was a project made to give opportunities to the Portuguese bands without a discography work already edited. With was a show of talent, an opportunity for the bands to show their value and to get out of anonymity.

The organization had received more than 300 k7 and 12 bands were chosen by a jury.

Nowadays famous bands like Toranja and Yellow W Van came up from this “talent contest”, the Super New Bands.

The winner had the chance to play at the festival.

The 8^th edition ended up in apotheoses with the sound off the British band Muse, who had sold out the Aula Magna, at Lisbon.

With 32 shows, the edition of 2002 was the deepest of ever with an audience of 60.000 persons in total.

Like the edition of 2001, the Super Bock had once again chosen Portuguese bands to act at the festival, with the Super New Bands contest. Other Portuguese band had already participated on the Super New Bands edition of 2001.

On 2002 the festival had open doors and went to Coimbra and to Vigo in Spain, were the international band Scorpions had give a concert.

The next edition on 2003, the festival went to Madrid. With a diverse style of bands, like Coldplay, Beth Gibbons, Lemon Jelly, De La Soul and Charlie Brown Junior, the 9^th edition of Super Bock Super Rock festival was a success and also arrived at Évora.

Thematic nights were created for this edition like “Electro night”, Hip Hop night” (in Lisbon and also in Oporto) and an “Iberian night” (in Lisbon and in Madrid).

The year of 2004 was a year of modifications. It was the year of the 10^th anniversary and from 9^th until 11^th of June the festival took place at Parque Tejo (Tagus Park) at Parque das Nações, being the biggest and completed event of ever in Lisbon.

The date was well thinking, not to be coincident with the 2004 European Football Championship occurring in Portugal and so the festival was finished at the morning of the day of the begging of Euro 2004.

Taking place at Parque Tejo, in the most modern area of the city, near the Tagus River, served by the biggest net of public transportation (Gare do Oriente), with green spots, parking, good access, the 10^th edition was prepared to receive not only the Portuguese people that were already familiar with the festival, but the international, the European tourists that arriving a few days before the Euro 2004 could appreciate a good Portuguese musical festival.

This edition return to the original format of three days at an open area near the Tagus River, with two stages: Principal Stage and Stage Quinta dos Portugueses (for Portuguese artists).

The commemoration of the 10^th anniversary gave rise to a Super Bock Super Rock festival at Luanda, on the 30^th if April with performances of artists such as Daniela Mercury, Tito Paris, Santos e Pecadores, Kataliana, Dog Hurras and Patricia Faria.

On 2005 the format was the same as the year before. During 3 days, on 2 different stages had passed band like The Prodigy, Moby, New Order, Audioslave, Incubus, the Gift, Boss AC or Blind Zero.

The 12^th edition of the festival more good music as heard at Parque Tejo, and this time with significant improvements made at the infrastructures.

The festival took place during 4 days: 25^th and 26^th of May (Act 1) and 7^th and 8^th of June (Act 2).

Names like Korn, The Editors, Franz Ferdinand, Placebo, Keane, Boss AC, Pharrel appear at the artist list of this edition.

The last editions of the festival were produce by Musica no Coração, a Portuguese company of events organization.
