Rock In Rio Lisboa takes place over two weekends in June, and last weekend saw killer sets from Muse, Bruno Mars and more (it’s The Killers and Katy Perry this weekend). A festival that puts in that little bit more effort than the rest, it has fireworks, dinosaurs and tasty tasty food. Here’s what went down.

5Through the wire

Now, here's something you don't see at festivals very often. At Rock In Rio Lisboa, there's a zip wire that allows punters to fly over the main arena. While the acts are playing. ON A ZIP WIRE. Ben Bentley/NME
6Pool it

Yep, there's also a swimming pool. At a festival. A swimming pool at a festival. Right by one of the stages. Ben Bentley/NME

Remember when Bastille used to only wear black? Those days are officially OVER. Ben Bentley/NME
8Not quite a Quarter Past Midnight

12Power Matt

If there were a Matt Bellamy action figure, this is the form it would take. Ben Bentley/NME
13A Muse fan

A Muse fan. Or a Libertarian. Or a paranoid individual. Or all three. Or someone who's holding a sign for their friend while they go for a wee. Ben Bentley/NME
14Baby you're a firework

Every night at Rock In Rio Lisboa – yes, every night – there's a choreographed firework display set to the music of the four headliners across the two weekends. Banging. Ben Bentley/NME
15The two people looking forward to the Avatar sequel

Question: do people at Portuguese festivals like to dress up? Answer: yes, they bloody well do. Unless two Na'vi managed to slip past security. Ben Bentley/NME
16Fine festie dining

Here's the pop-up Time Out food market, which boasts Michelin starred chefs, the best pastel de nata in the world and squidgy croquettes you'll wanna imbibe via a drip. Bliss. Ben Bentley/NME

Here's Rock In Rio Lisboa's Rock Street, which this year took an African theme. Ben Bentley/NME
18The other Diplo

At some festivals, the headliners are dinosaurs. At Rock In Rio Lisboa, the dinosaurs are dinosaurs. Ben Bentley/NME

Anitta's heavily choreographed, impeccable pop show really put her dancers t'work. Ben Bentley/NME
21Anitta's kick-ass dancers

Anitta's show was all singing, all dancing, except from her dancers, who were all dancing and no singing. Ben Bentley/NME
22The crowd

People enjoying themselves. Because that's what it's all about, right? Ben Bentley/NME
23Demi Demi

25Demi's stalker

Clearly, a decade at Her Madge's pleasure hasn't deterred this superfan. I'M ALWAYS THERE DEMI EVEN IF YOU CAN'T SEE ME. Ben Bentley/NME
26Demigorgon

This person has something important to tell Demi, but has clearly been blocked from her WhatsApp.
27Wall Of Fame

You can stick your Hollywood Walk Of Fame up your Sunset Strip. Now we know exactly how big JBJ's hands are. (Not that big). Ben Bentley/NME
