In 2015, we brought you coverage of the 1st edition of Portuguese Summer festival Laurus Nobilis Music Famalicão – back then, with only one day dedicated to metal (see here). It would take them two more years/editions until they went full metal and fill the bill with only the kind of bands we most like. And then in 2020 COVID happened.
Like so many other festivals and concerts in general, the festival was forced to postpone its edition, and if it had been possible to make it in 2021, the bill would have be the same. But for the same reason it wasn’t and for 2022 it suffered some major changes, like headliners As I Lay Dying not making it. On the other hand, it was the right opportunity for legendary Manowar to step in and include Portugal on their farewell tour – a country where they have a legion of fans and haven’t played in quite a while. That combined with all the other bands, our guess is that it’s going to be a blast of a return.
