Porto first-timer NEEDS your help! Primavera + City exploration = Mind blown?

Hey r/primaverasound!

Super stoked to be visiting Porto for the first time ever! I'll be in the city a couple of day before the Primavera Sound to enjoy the city and than heading straight to the Festival. I'm buzzing for it, but also want to soak up as much of Porto as I can.

Big question: Where should I stay? City center to be close to all the action, or closer to the festival grounds for convenience?

Also curious about a few things:

• Primavera vibes: Do the concerts usually wrap up early? I went in Primavera Sound Madrid and I remember that everything was finishing late, but this is a smaller spin-off, so... hoping to catch some late-night Porto vibes after the headliners.
• Center city at night: Is there a buzzing nightlife scene in the center? Any must-visit bars or clubs?
• Beyond Primavera: Any recommendations for things to see/do/eat in the city center when I'm not at the festival? I'm into quirky museums, historical sites, amazing food, cool neighborhoods and meeting new people.

Hit me with your best tips! Thanks in advance! ✌️
