Olivia's New Blood in Alive's Coming of Age

NOS Alive kicked off yesterday on the Algés seafront promenade, right from the start with the most anticipated concert on the bill. A year after her performance at the Meo Arena, Californian Olivia Rodrigo returned to Portugal with hits like "Drivers License," "Déjà Vu," and "Vampire" under her belt. Like Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo is a star "made" in the Disney studios. Born in 2003, one of her strengths is the mix of Filipino, German, and Irish blood that runs through her veins. She began acting in the series Bizaardvark and High School Musical: The Series. "Drivers License" was her first hit—a dazzling breakthrough. In just one week, she garnered 80 million listeners on Spotify.
Today, Friday, Anyma, the solo project of Italian-American DJ Matteo Milleri, The Wombats, and girl in red will perform on the main stage. Tomorrow, Saturday, it's Muse and Nine Inch Nails' turn. This edition, which marks Alive's 18th anniversary, is also marked by the cancellations of Kings of Leon, due to an injury sustained by vocalist Caleb Followill while playing with his children, and Sam Fender, who suffered a vocal cord hemorrhage.
