Álvaro Soler | Porta³

In his single 'Cero', Álvaro Soler not only combines Latin pop with Afro house, inspired by the song of a Kenyan women's choir that the singer heard in 2020 while travelling for WorldVision in the small village of LogLogo, not far from Marsabit National Park. He also combines the actually carefree sound of an optimistic summer song with the theme of new beginnings in a world where many things are out of control. En un mundo que es de plata y en un mundo que es de hielo // Parece que estemos todos ciegos. ¿Dónde está la lluvia que nos quita este veneno? ¿Por qué no empezamos desde cero? ("In a world of silver and in a world of ice, it seems that we are all blind. Where is the rain that takes away this poison? Why don't we start from scratch?")

With this mixture of positivity and thoughtfulness, the 33-year-old will embark on his ‘La Gira’ tour next summer, which will take him to Trier, among other places. In front of the impressive backdrop of the Porta Nigra, he will of course also be performing his great hits such as ‘La cintura’ and ‘Sofia’, which made him famous in Germany. ‘My music has always been characterised by curiosity and a desire to try out new things and bring them together,’ is how he describes his own aspirations. ‘It's important to me that my songs don't lose the positive and radiant feeling that I value so much and that my fans are used to from me.’ The fact that the singer himself speaks fluent Catalan, Italian and Japanese in addition to German, Spanish and English is just an impressive side note. Because his music works without any vocabulary or foreign language skills. You will be able to see this for yourself in Trier.

2025 Porta³ will take place from 19 to 21 June in front of the Porta Nigra. The Roman city gate will then present itself in good weather and a relaxed atmosphere as an impressive backdrop with an absolutely unique selling point.

On Sunday June 22, there will be an admission-free picnic concert.
