As the sun went down, the festival atmosphere kicked in, the beer flowed, the burgers were munched and the porta-loos became a place you only visited in dire need! The warm up acts of Portuguese bands Blind Zero and João Pedro Pais got everyone jumping to their guitar driven mix of pop, rock and grunge before the stage was cleared for Sonique and her three dancers – for me, the highlight of the night. Her powerful voice rang out over the crowd and, even though she only performed four tracks, her set was breathtaking; although I’m not sure if all the Portuguese in the crowd completely ‘got’ the nature of her music.
In true celeb style, Jay Kay kept us waiting, and waiting, before finally making his appearance, greeted with an eardrum shattering scream from the crowd. Fully armed with his band of drums, guitar, keyboards, percussion, three backing singers and signature wacky head gear, he certainly made the 30 euro ticket fee well worth it. Performing songs from albums old and new, Jamiroquai ended with one of their best known and loved tracks, Deeper Underground.
The crowd were buzzing as they made their way from the stage and, for the die hard party goers, the music carried on in the two dance tents, with DJs playing hard house and uplifting tracks well into the early hours, welcoming the sunrise of Sunday morning.The two-day event was dominated by the anticipation surrounding the big performance from front man Jay Kay and his band Jamiroquai on Saturday 13, the final night.
