May 15
Good morning and welcome to the end of this journey! The venue is empty and load out is almost completed, with 6 hours to spare! This project has been an amazing joy ride from start to end and I am so grateful and honored to have been a part of it! All you wonderful people of Portugal- THANK YOU! You are absolutely amazing! And you will always have a very special place in my heart. I’m coming back for sure! That is a promise, and a threat! 🙂
And a HUGE THANK YOU to the entire team and all our suppliers! Always happy, always smiling, always striving to be at your best. And you were! Every second of the day! I’m sure I’ll see many of you down the road!
AND A HUGE THANK YOU to all your readers that inspire me to continue with this blog, even though there are days when I have absolutely no energy left to do an update.
I WISH YOU ALL A FANTASTIC SUMMER!
Below is the credit list of all the amazing people that came together, and produced three kick ass shows in the Altice Arena on May 8, 10 & 12 – 2018!
