"Relative to the same period of 2014, we have already sold over three times the number of tickets and easily overcoming all expectations and the festival’s last 22 years," Carvalho continued.

Carvalho said that he was now expecting the festival to be a sell-out across its four days with the organisation now striving to identify ways to better cope with the expected numbers and to potentially expand future capacities.

The more metal oriented festival that takes place on Tabuão river beach, costs €85 for a four day ticket with this year’s line up already including Tame Impala, Pond and Father John Misty, The Temples, Charles Bradley and The War On Drugs.
