Serralves Collection

Fundação Serralves
Paula Rego (Lisbon, 1935) is one of the great realist artists of the contemporary era, who follows in the tradition of Goya, Hogarth and Beckmann. Her works, that are both figurative and narrative, are never conservative and address provocative issues, such as the condition of women and sexuality. Born in Lisbon in 1935, Paula Rego has lived in London since the 1960s, and is considered to be one of Portugal’s best known artists. The Serralves Museum organised a major solo exhibition of her work in 2004, presenting a selection of works produced since 1996, focusing in particular on the relationship between her paintings and drawings, as well as construction of her unique and idiosyncratic fictional situations. The core of Paula Rego's works held in the Serralves Collection, produced since the 1960s to the present day, will be the starting point for a monographic exhibition that, after a 15-year interval, will see her return to Serralves.

The human body and unusual objects of everyday life of each of us are the stars in the STOMP shows.
Masters of percussion and humor, for the Stomp everything, even everything!, has a movement and sound of its own. From the boots to the buckets, from the lids of the dustbins to the lighters and brooms, from the sinks to the water bottles, their originality is overwhelming and the mood is contagious.
For 29 years running the five continents, the Stomp continues to amaze fans with the new objects that go including in their spectacle. This return to Portugal will not be any different!

Coliseu do Porto
The 25th Anniversary tour of the Machine Head debut album, "Burn My Eyes", passes through Portugal in 2020.
On April 23 at the Colosseum Porto Ageas, the American band considered by many one of the pioneers of the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal presents the classic "Burn My Eyes" in full.
Edited in 1994, "Burn My Eyes" has 11 themes, including the timeless "Davidian" and was the most successful debut album in the Roadrunner publishing catalog for several years.
Rob Flynn returns to Portugal in April accompanied by Logan Mader and Chris Kontos, with whom he recorded "Burn My Eyes" and also by Jared MacEachern instead of Adam Duce.
On this tour the Machine Head return to the heaviest sounds of "Burn My Eyes" and to themes that have not been touched for years. It is the promise of a memorable spectacle!
