The British-Lebanese singer and songwriter comes to present the new album, \"Hyperlove\", released at the beginning of this year, and it will also be an opportunity to revisit some of the greatest Pop classics of the last two decades, such as \"Grace Kelly\", \"Relax, Take It Easy\", \"Love Today\" and \"Popular Song\", a duet with Ariana Grande, which made the singer and songwriter a global icon.<\/strong>\n<br><br>\n<strong>With more than 10 million records sold, classical training, a wide vocal range, intelligent lyrics and a visual universe imbued with fantasy, MIKA saw his first two albums \u2013 the acclaimed \u201cLife in Cartoon Motion\u201d, released in 2007, and \u201cThe Boy Who Knew Too Much\u201d, from 2009 \u2013 become outstanding examples of how his music quickly resonated with the public on a large scale. Since then, he has performed for millions of people in the four corners of the planet and released five more albums, composed of songs that have never lost the touch of magical realism from the beginning of his career, which he also makes a point of bringing to his live concerts, such as the one on September 18, at Rock &amp; D\u00e3o, which marks the artist's return to our country.<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7f858e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d7f858e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3852d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f3852d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1400\" src=\"https:\/\/homolog.rockedao.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mika-inline.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-860\" alt=\"Mika em retrato art\u00edstico para o Festival Rock and D\u00e3o\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homolog.rockedao.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mika-inline.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/homolog.rockedao.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mika-inline-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homolog.rockedao.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mika-inline-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/homolog.rockedao.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mika-inline-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/homolog.rockedao.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mika-inline-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-d01c763 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d01c763\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62b0042 color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"62b0042\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><em>The inaugural edition of the festival takes place on September 18 and 19, at Parque de Santiago, in Viseu, and brings together the music of national and international artists with traditional gastronomy and the excellence of D\u00e3o wines, one of the most prestigious Portuguese wine regions.
