Are you ready for a two-day underground experience like no other?
RPMM has just launched its debut edition– a surrealist underground experience in the city of Porto– on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th July 2018. One of the oldest European cities and voted the No. 1 city to visit this year by Forbes Magazine, Porto has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. The proposed site of the festival, RPMM will see the city transform into an adult playground, with many venues across the city hosting day and night parties. Festival-goers can look forward to partying on the Duoro River, which snakes its way all through the city!

Brought to life by the tireless efforts of promoters and world-class creative directors, the festival will showcase international names from the worlds house of techno while shining a light on the thriving Porto scene. The festival’s long-term aim is to provide a platform not just to international stars, but also the local artists of the area. These artists will then be nurtured throughout the year with a series of pre and post-festival events and will eventually play on the road around Europe with the RPMM brand.
Alfandega, a stunningly beautiful and historic listed build, will be the main venue for the festival. The multi-functional space is located in the historic city center of Porto, right by the Duoro river. In the 12th century, the building was a bustling center of shipping trade. It will be brought back to life by the vision of Johnny TV, who has previously worked with artists the likes of the Chemical Brothers and will make sure the 2000 people who are fortunate enough to attend RPMM will be awarded a sensory experience unlike any other.

RPMM takes its stylistic cues from celebrated contemporary expressionists and pop art artists, placing production, light, and sound at the center of the festival. Come and escape the everyday world with colorful characters, performers, food and drink offerings and plenty more otherworldly surprises!
A series of satellite venues will host events alongside the main festival venue, with a focus on diversity and DJs from all backgrounds performing on the same platform. RPMM is also partnering with selected labels and parties around the world to curate their own events- from boat parties to after parties– there is much on offer over the course of the two days of the festival.

The team responsible for the festival have previously been involved in promoting parties and other events over the last 10 years, from London to Ibiza, from Mexico to the US, and are now ready to kick things up a notch! Mario Matos is at the core of this, with an ambition to build RPMM as a pan-European party brand known for immersive and inclusive events.
RPMM is a bold new take on festivals that will shine a light on the thriving Porto scene and will offer an inner-city underground musical experience like no other.
