An idyllic setting with music to match and some 6000 people dancing at one of the biggest summer parties in Portugal: the third Algarve Beach Party promises to stir up the sand on the Algarve “Batata” beach, with performances already announced by the Brazilian DJ Patife and the Jamaican Earl 16, among others. As in previous years, the event will be divided into two distinct areas: electronic music and reggae – operating simultaneously.

According to the organisers, a number of logistical structures in the precinct will be improved in order to ensure the well-being of the audience and to guarantee that the event runs smoothly.

The promoter Positiva Eventos says that in 2008, the aim will be to turn this celebration of music, dance and the Algarve beaches into a landmark event.
