Organisers and venues can claim Praia Dourada Presents: Daft Funk Live free of charge to manage the listing, add photos and tickets, and host it under their business.
Planning to attend? No claim needed. Just mark yourself as going.
Praia Dourada Beach Club, part of the Vila Vita Parc estate in Porches, hosts Daft Funk Live, billed as the closest thing to seeing the French duo's Alive-era shows in the Algarve. The tribute act performs the songs live with a full band, including drums, synths and vocoders, rather than as a DJ set, backed by a synchronised light show.
Expect the catalogue's biggest moments: Around the World, One More Time, Harder Better Faster Stronger and Get Lucky, played out on the sand as the sun goes down.
Doors open at 21:00, the main set starts at 22:00, and a DJ closes the night from midnight. Tickets and further details are available directly through Vila Vita Parc.

Silves' whitewashed old bridge and the riverside beneath the castle, best at low tide when egrets stalk the Arade mudflats. Everyone climbs to the red castle; far fewer linger on the river. The multi-arched Ponte Velha, medieval on older foundations and long nicknamed the Roman bridge, still carries foot traffic across the Arade, and the banks around it are Silves at its most local: anglers, café tables, market mornings and storks clattering on the chimneys. At low tide the river drops to channels where egrets and waders feed, with the castle and cathedral stacked above the whitewash behind. Cross to the south bank in late afternoon for the view back over town, then take a table near the municipal market as the light turns orange.
A quiet municipal park at Estômbar where freshwater springs meet the tidal Arade, with a tide mill, boardwalks and a stone amphitheatre. Sítio das Fontes is where Lagoa locals go for Sunday picnics while visitors queue for boat trips a few kilometres downstream. Springs bubble into a pool beside the restored tide mill, boardwalk paths loop through marsh and woodland, and egrets and waders work the estuary flats. A small amphitheatre built into the hillside hosts occasional concerts. It is an easy, level wander rather than a hike, which makes it a good outing with children or grandparents in tow. Follow the signs from Estômbar village; late afternoon brings the best light over the marsh, and picnic tables sit under the trees.
Beautiful viewpoint, walking trails, AND beach. Truly a wonderful gem.
