This gallery contains 42 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. With no intention of making a tacky pun (but already doing it), Vagos got revolutionary with REVOLUTION WITHIN. The security staff’s nightmare – crowdsurfers, one after another – started right with the first song, “Suicide … Continue reading

HOLOCAUSTO CANIBAL @ Laurus Nobilis Music Famalicão, 2017/07/28
