This application allows artists and music listeners that are registered on Palco Principal to listen to their favourite music, access artist’s and listener’s profiles, look at photos and listen to recommended tracks as well as being able to read and send messages and approve comments.

    Palco Mobile is currently in the beta testing phase and application users will help identify possible bugs. It is available for download at:
