Padre Guilherme – techno that transcends the dance floor at Love by ČSOB!
Padre Guilherme is one of the most unusual phenomenons of the contemporary electronic scene. A Portuguese DJ and Catholic priest, he combines the energy of techno with the depth of sacred music and breaks down the boundaries between seemingly different worlds – club music and spiritual experience. His journey is above all a confirmation of openness and hope, showing that music remains one of the most powerful ways to touch the human soul and connect hearts.
He came to wider attention after an unforgettable performance at World Youth Day 2023 in Lisbon, where he played in front of more than 1.5 million people. Since then, his name has appeared on the line-ups of prestigious events around the world – from Afterlife at Hï Ibiza, Medusa Festival in Spain to Zamna Festival in Chile. He has also performed at iconic venues with exceptional symbolism, such as the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro and Torre dos Clérigos in Porto.
His sets are not just musical performances, but shared experiences that captivate audiences regardless of genre or personal beliefs. Pulsating beats, uplifting atmosphere, and moments of silence create an intense contrast that gives each set its own story and emotional depth. His work also includes remixes of songs by other artists that carry messages of peace, humanity, hope, charity, solidarity, respect, tolerance, and joy.
At Beats for Love 2026, Padre Guilherme will deliver an exceptional musical moment that transcends the boundaries of the ordinary festival experience. He is living proof that art can unite cultures and renew spirituality, which can breathe new life into electronic music. Get ready for a set that combines the energy of a club night with an atmosphere that will draw you into the present moment and leave a lasting impression long after the last note has faded away.
