Atlantis Entertainment

Atlantis Entertainment is an American media production company founded in 2016 by Nuno Bettencourt, Rene Rigal, and Steven Schuurman.

History

In 2005 Bettencourt began to consider organizing a concert that would blend music with environmental awareness. His preferred location was a volcanic crater in Sete Cidades, Sao Miguel, Azores as Bettencourt himself was born on the island of Terceira in the Azores. To this end, Atlantis Entertainment commissioned a study of the land to ensure minimal environmental disruption as well as carbon neutrality. The concert was originally planned for 2020, however the COVID-19 pandemic prevented it from taking place.
The concert took place June 23 and 24, 2022. Performing artists included Black [Eyed Peas], Bush, Gabriela, Girlfriends, Julian Lennon, Mod Sun, Pigtails, Pitbull, Queen + [Adam Lambert], Nicole Scherzinger, Sting, and Stone Temple Pilots. The work of environmental organizations such as The Ocean Cleanup was highlighted during the concert. The concert was also livestreamed via Veeps.
