World-famous producer and DJ David Guetta will headline a unique concert amid the volcanos of the Azores on Wednesday 18 July 2014.
The concert will take place at the beautiful lagoon of Sete Cidades on Sao Miguel Island, a breathtakingly-large crater lake, which is a Natural Wonder of Portugal and one of the main landmarks of the subtropical archipelago in the heart of the Atlantic.
Announced on YouTube by David Guetta himself, the internationally-famed DJ and producer will be joined by international, national and local DJs and entertainers for the “Azores @ Night” concert, part of Azores Green Fest, which will run across 18-19 July 2014 to celebrate the importance of conserving the Azores’ unique environment. Other entertainers performing at the concert include Brazilian duo Felguk, Portugal’s DJ Eddie Ferrer and DJ Rusty, and local DJ Andre’ N ft. Marina.
Those looking to connect with nature in the Azores will be pleased hear that activities for Azores Green Fest on 19July will focus on well-being, including massages, yoga, tai chi and meditation. Other activities include educational conferences, workshops and theatre productions on the importance of maintaining the Azores’ unspoilt and award-winning environment.
While on the island, visitors may also choose to visit protected wildlife in their natural habitats, as activities available include some of the best whale watching and swimming with dolphins in the world. Other active pursuits such as cycling, hiking, paragliding and kayaking can also be arranged.
The Azores were named the No.1 sustainable tourism destination by Quality Coast in 2013, and boast some of the most beautiful, volcanic and subtropical terrains in Europe. With only approximately 5% of the ground being built-up area, travellers will see a variety of amazing volcanic features from cones, domes and craters to crater lakes, caverns, grottoes and thermal springs.

About the Azores
The nine islands of the Azores are in the middle of the North Atlantic and belong to Portugal. They can be reached by direct flight from the UK in less than four hours from April – October, or via Lisbon. These volcanic islands are renowned for their craters, beautiful lakes, stunning sea, thermal pools and mountain vistas, their impressive flora and fauna and marine life. The islands have played a hugely important part in European maritime history, due to their strategically significant position as the westernmost point of Europe.
