Eyes of the Algarve is the first event of its kind, put on by local Lagos Deadheads as a way to showcase original rock and jam artists here in Lagos (like Los Pissarros and Franc GuitarO & The MachinE) as well as familiar favorites of the music we love with the headlining band each night being Grateful Nights from Barcelona. We’ve got musicians from Portugal, Germany, Mozambique, Italy, Argentina, Ireland, Spain, the US, and more performing at this small yet impactful event!
Throughout our time in Wake Park, local artisans will have tables with homemade artworks for sale, themed menu items, lots of dancing, and good vibes only.
This isn’t just a music event: it’s a cultural event that celebrates a band that has brought love and light to people of all backgrounds. This is about bringing people together through music and art in a way that Deadheads have done for more than half a century.
Thank you to all our early supporters and Sponsors who made this event possible.
