O concerto dos Snow Patrol marcado para dia 19 de Julho no MEO Marés Vivas foi cancelado pela banda devido a problemas de doença de dois dos seus membros. Sendo impossível dar continuidade à digressão europeia agendada para este Verão.
A Pev Entertainment lamenta que os Snow Patrol não subam ao palco do MEO Marés Vivas e em virtude desta mudança confirma os irlandeses Kodaline. O quarteto irlandês é sempre recebido em Portugal com grande euforia pelos milhares de fãs da banda.
Também neste dia acontece o regresso dos Keane, com mais de 12 milhões de álbuns vendidos em todo o mundo e que irão celebrar ao vivo no MEO Marés Vivas o seu reencontro. A banda de Tom Chaplin esteve a ultima vez em Portugal no ano de 2013 e a vontade do público em voltar a ouvir alguns dos seus sucessos como “Somewhere only we know”, “Everybody´s Changing” ou “Is it any Wonder” é mais do que muita.
Para que o dia seja ainda mais em cheio teremos o grande sucesso luso americano Mishlawi que começou a sua carreira em 2016 com o single “All Night” que já superou a marca dos 10 milhões de visualizações. Influenciado sobretudo pelo rap, RnB e trap-soul, Mishlawi lançou em 2017 “Always on My Mind”, “Boohoo”, ft Richie Campbell e “Limbo” e no último ano “FMR” e “Rain” com Richie Campbell e Plutónio.
E para abrir este primeiro dia os portugueses Os Quatro E Meia – um grupo de amigos com o gosto comum pela música que se juntaram para uma pequena atuação num sarau em Coimbra. E estava feita a primeira apresentação d´Os Quatro e Meia.
“We are sorry to have to announce the cancelation of more shows.
Our dear brother, piano and guitar player Johnny Mcdaid has a serious problem with his neck and after consulting with some top neurosurgeons they are all in agreement that the only course of action is immediate surgery.
We are all of course worried about our brother Johnny. He is a force of nature and a giant light in our lives on stage and off and we of course will give him all the time and support he needs to recover. Johnny has been incredible in the wake of this news and has remained calm at a time when a lot of people might freak out.
As for the upcoming shows: to replace Johnny it would take at least two people and with Nathan still out with nerve damage (he is slowly on the mend) so he is also still unable to play guitar we feel it’s just not appropriate to continue with shows at this stage. It isn’t just their guitars and pianos that would be missed. Their backing vocals are essential to our sound and their energy and spirits are colossal and are irreplaceable forces.
Am sure you all understand that at this point the most important thing is to take time to let our brothers heal and recover so we need to cancel the forthcoming shows we are billed to play in Europe this summer up to Latitude on the 20th of July to give them both time to recover.
As the doctors have said Nathan needs another 4 weeks recovery we are sure that we will be able to do the acoustic tour of Asia, Australia and New Zealand in august as Nathan will very likely be healed in time.
We will of course keep you informed of both Nathan’s and Johnny’s progress. We have hardly ever cancelled shows in 25 years together and we don’t do it lightly. We hope you all understand. We are sorry to miss the shows but health is the most important thing. All our love and healing to our brothers Johnny and Nathan”. gL.x
