On the other side of the Douro River, among the Port wine cellars and with the city of Porto on the horizon, a journey to 1920s Birmingham is in the works. Candlelight: Peaky Blinders comes to the Hilton Porto Gaia for an evening where the music of the iconic British series comes to life in an intimate concert, illuminated by thousands of candles.
After winning over fans with stories of intrigue, loyalty, and power, the world of the Shelby family now inspires a musical experience that will transport the audience into the series’ intense atmosphere. Amid unmistakable melodies and the warm glow of candles, Porto is getting ready to step into the world of the Peaky Blinders.
The Peaky Blinders
Created by Steven Knight, Peaky Blinders has become one of the most memorable British series of recent years. Airing from 2013 to 2022, it follows the rise of the Shelby family in post-World War I Birmingham, in a world of rivalries, ambition, and shady business dealings.
The series won the award for Best Drama Series at the 2018 BAFTA TV Awards. In 2026, the story returned to the screen with the film *Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man*.
As for the name, the explanation generally attributed to historian Carl Chinn relates to clothing: “peaky” referred to a cap with a short brim, while “blinder” was a Birmingham slang term used to describe something stylish.
What is Candlelight: Peaky Blinders?
The soundtrack, known for blending period drama with modern rock, takes on a new interpretation here, featuring dark and striking arrangements, lasting about an hour and surrounded by thousands of candles. You’ll get to hear “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the series’ opening theme, and “Do I Wanna Know?” by the Arctic Monkeys.
And there’s one detail fans will appreciate: although there’s no mandatory dress code, this is the perfect opportunity to dust off the berets, three-piece suits, and tweed vests that defined the Shelby style.
