MIL kicks off Wednesday with festival and convention
September 25, 26, and 27
MIL returns to Lisbon this week. On September 25, 26, and 27, more than 50 artists will take to different stages in the nightlife area of Cais do Sodré and over 70 activities will take place in the Convention program at the Beato Innovation District.
The purpose of MIL 2024 is the same as always: the discovery, promotion, appreciation, and internationalization of current emerging music. Thus, in addition to music, hundreds of national and international professionals gather in Lisbon to exchange experiences, make contacts, and discover new artists with the public.
National new music is represented by artists such as A Sul, Agressive Girls, Capital da Bulgária, Cleidir and Zé Rasta, Humana Taranja, MДQUIИД, Maria Reis, Nayr Faquirá, Fidju Kitxora, Yeri & Yeni, among many others. Portuguese-speaking countries have, as usual, a strong presence, highlighted this year by the national debut of Irmãs de Pau, Rachel Reis, Luana Flores, Papisa or Cabezadenego, Kyan and the return of producer and DJ MU540.
Spain, France, and Belgium are other key territories, and this year we will hear, among others, Sami Galbi, Deep Tan, Vatocholo, Ada Oda, Sistema Entretenimiento, David Numwami, Alexi Shell, Dianka, or Retro Cassetta.
The musical programming of MIL will once again take place in the lower part of the city of Lisbon, between Cais do Sodré and Santos, in 7 different venues: Musicbox, Roterdão, Espaço Atmosferas (ETIC), Lounge, Titanic Sur Mer, B.Leza, and LISA.
Alongside the MIL Festival, the MIL Convention runs with a vast array of activities that make MIL a space for training, empowerment, sharing ideas, and disseminating critical thought on the challenges and opportunities that shape the present and future of the cultural sector. Directed mainly at workers and students in the cultural sector, the Convention program will be presented soon.
A Convenção MIL tem como principal objetivo o desenvolvimento de redes profissionais e incentiva a troca de ideias, o debate construtivo e a reflexão crítica sobre o presente e o futuro do setor cultural e da indústria da música. Neste sentido, a programação está estruturada em três eixos inter-relacionados: Cultura e Política, Economia Noturna e Indústria da Música, numa programação diversificada que inclui entrevistas, fóruns, mesas-redondas, conversas, apresentação de projetos, oficinas e laboratórios. O programa inclui mais de 70 atividades que podem já ser consultadas na íntegra em www.millisboa.com.
