WATTS | Sound Cycle
WATTS is an annual series held at the Central Elétrica and dedicated to contemporary sounds. At the constant intersection of live music, performance, and other artistic expressions, the WATTS program aims to be a space for sharing and promoting the work of national and international artists, with free admission at all times.
In 2026, for the 6th edition of WATTS, we sought to explore acts of resistance and critical thinking, with a strong emphasis on transdisciplinarity, featuring an installation and performance by Gil Delindro, a concert and the launch of an audiobook by Catarina Vieira, and a show by Raquel André. The program also includes a concert by Maria Reis and a DJ set by Violet.
The programming of the WATTS cycle is possible with the support of the Porto City Council, through the program Criatório.
