Before heading to Viana, the first night of the Academic Week is in Refoios do Lima, Ponte de Lima, with Toy being the headliner of a night that will also feature Kalhambeke and DJ Cozta.

But first, the Academic Week has two of the most emblematic moments: the Monumental Serenade, on the 18th, at 11:59 pm, and the finalists’ mass, the following day, at 10:00 am, at Campo da Nossa Senhora da Agonia.

The Academic Week takes a break on May 21st to recharge its batteries and resumes the following day, with the academic procession, dedicated to the theme of Historical Events. And this is where one of the “greatest achievements” of this year’s edition lies. “For the first time”, the academic procession will feature 19 floats. “There are three more than last year. And more cars also means more students in the parade. We are counting on more than 2,500 students, essentially those who entered the IPVC this academic year and the finalists”, explains the president of the IPVC Academic Federation, Henrique Maciel, cited in a statement from the institution.

But May 22nd does not end with the academic procession. The night will feature performances by Quem é o Bob?, a tribute to Bob Marley, followed by DJs Zanova and Pette. In between, Hinoportuna also takes the stage.

The following days will take us to Viana do Castelo Pappillon, with Quim das Remisturas and DJ Kozzi, but also Mundo Segundo & Sam The Kid. The night only ends after performances by Oder and Avatar with DJ Kardo.

Federation expects positive result in this year’s edition

The last night closes with Piruka. Overule and the Vivian DJ Fábio Gonçalves complete the program.

“We have a very good program, with excellent headliners, who are generally known to the students, but I think we were also successful in hiring DJs”, describes Henrique Maciel, who says he is “quite satisfied” with the this year’s poster.

“I feel fulfilled, not only because of the poster, which is in line with what we had thought, but also because I believe that this year we will have a positive balance at the end. I hope that during the Academic Week, but also during the Freshman Reception”, he concludes.
