“They will not control us. We will be victorious– “Something like” they won’t control us. The chorus sang “We will win” uprising At the top of their lungs, under the rain that insisted on falling, tens of thousands of people attended the Muse concert, this Saturday, at Roc in Rio. Matt Bellamy’s Screams of Rebellion band closed the first day of the festival’s return after a break due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The masks were rarely seen at Bela Vista Park, in Lisbon, with the British Muse making headlines on day one. Bellamy (vocals, guitar, keys), Chris Wolstenholme (bass and back vocals) and Dominic Howard (guitar) opened their concert at Mondo Theater with Will of the people, with Bellamy hidden behind a silver mask. And he never lost the pedal, browsing old songs and new ones.
The rain did not succeed in laying off a legion of cheerful fans will not back downwhich brought the first moment of shooting to leave the stage, with compliance A hail of blue and white streaks fell from the sky, mad He lay the whole room with his arms in the air waving, starlight Bellamy got off the stage and greeted the audience closely, before another rain, this time colored paper clips Eggs announced the end of the party.
But the apparition was missing, which would bring Bellamy, Wolstenholme, and Howard on stage: the back of a huge helmeted skeleton doll accompanies kill or be killed The final apotheosis with knights of sidonia. Lyrics on giant screens helped even the most mind-wandering fan follow Bellamy on a song that started with the Wholstenholme harmonica and ended with a fireworks shutdown on day one. And with a lot of wet but happy fans.
Before that, the afternoon at Mundo Theater had begun with the unstoppable Xutos & Pontapés. Rio’s rock followers couldn’t miss it all and they all started singing and jumping, ending with little house. Liam Gallagher followed suit, always between the exuberant and provocative songs scattered from Oasis and his solo career. At times, closed English doesn’t seem to make it easier to communicate, but everyone took note of the football reference to Bernardo Silva and Rubén Dias, two Portuguese players from his beloved Manchester City. and nothing like Wonderwall In order for everyone to understand each other in the end.
After the break that conveyed Simone de Oliveira and a message of peace to the stage, Nacional took the stage. And if this is their 18th concert in Portugal, Matt Berninger’s band sang with the same sentiment as if it was their first concert. And there was no shortage of salutes for the zoo adventurers or the “scary” angels.
