Portugal for the music - small country, big vibes
Coming to Portugal for the summer? Find out which festivals you MUST get to and take your Portuguese experience next-level.
Portuguese festivals you can’t miss
Alive is one of the largest festivals in Portugal, right by the Tejo, and close to center Lisbon, it boasts amazing line-ups every year from global stars to local artists that hold up incredibly on the big stage. Primavera Sound is the sister festival of the Barcelona megafestival and happens in beautiful Porto, usually sharing a lot of the same megastars that visit Spain. Porto, however, is one of the most beautiful, authentic cities you’ll ever visit. It’s also where you’ll probably eat the best meal of your life. Money back guarantee. Paredes de Coura is set in a small town in northern Portugal, surrounded by lush greenery, with a riverbed right in the middle of the park and always with the best of Indie music making itself heard in the festival, Paredes de Coura is a unique experience that more often than not sells out. Take a few days and go. Super Rock & Super Bock em Stock - another classic rock mega festival, Super Bock Super Rock gave birth to an alternative winter festival - Super Bock em Stock - that takes place in Lisbon, across theatres, bars, and other purpose-built and ad-hoc stages that makes you live the city to hear the city. Coming to Lisbon is always a good idea. Coming for Super Bock em Stock will make you the king of your indie gang.
Off-the-beaten-soundtrack Portugal
That’s not all for music in sunny Portugal. Want a Portuguese Indie festival in a village of 600 people? Bons sons is for you. Maybe the biggest Jazz names in a beautiful city on the outskirts of Lisbon? Maybe some Cool Jazz? Or maybe you’re more into electronic and psychedelic and want a completely new experience in center Portugal? BOOM! (No, seriously, Boom is the name of the festival). Or maybe you’re chasing the hot new thing and heard something great was heading the way of Portugal? Kalorama?
