The Noite Gerações takes place today in Porto d'Ave, integrated into the traditional Romaria de Nossa Senhora do Porto de Ave, and is considered by organizer Alexandre Peixoto as "the biggest edition ever" of this event. This year's lineup includes Xutos & Pontapés, Diogo Piçarra, ÁTOA and Insert Coin, among other names, with thousands of people expected again. In the previous edition, the event received more than 30 thousand people in a single night, a number higher than the population of the Municipality of Póvoa de Lanhoso, which is around 23 thousand inhabitants.
Frederico Castro, president of the Municipal Chamber of Póvoa de Lanhoso, highlighted the importance of the event for the promotion of the municipality and attraction of visitors, considering it "fundamental and strategic". The mayor also recalled the entry of the Municipality as an official partner and co-producer of the event, highlighting that this partnership makes it possible to reinforce the ambition of the initiative and that Xutos & Pontapés will be in the municipality for the first time.
The programming is spread across three stages. On the BYD Stage, the main stage, the performance of Xutos & Pontapés is scheduled for midnight, followed by Batalha de Gerações at 02h00 and Insert Coin at 03h15. The Journey Stage is dedicated to electronic music, starts at 16h30 with DJ Palenta and closes at 04h30 with Dave Oak. The 4830 – NG Kids Stage offers entertainment for the youngest.
The organization is once again providing the free transportation service "Bai-Bem", with departures from Póvoa de Lanhoso (in front of Intermarché) to the NG Venue in Taíde, at times ranging from 16h00 to 23h40. The return trips are scheduled between 03h00 and 05h00.
