Event Details
Welcome to Bons Sons 2028 in Cem Soldos
The village of Cem Soldos in the municipality of Tomar once again turns into a lively festival ground for Bons Sons. Since 2006, the local association SCOCS has organized this festival together with the villagers themselves, dedicated entirely to Portuguese music and now held every two years.
Highlights and Attractions at Bons Sons in Cem Soldos
- A lineup dedicated exclusively to Portuguese music, from established names to emerging projects
- Multiple stages scattered throughout the village, in streets, squares, courtyards and even the church
- A unique concept where villagers themselves welcome and host the visitors
- On site camping included as part of the four day festival pass
- A side program featuring film screenings, talks, workshops and family activities
- An intimate, village style atmosphere that sets it apart from large commercial festivals
Program and Schedule: What to Expect in 2028
The festival traditionally runs for four days, usually in August, with the entire village becoming the festival grounds for that period. Concerts, performances and activities are spread across numerous stages and open spaces throughout the village. The exact dates and program for 2028 had not been published at the time of research, as the festival, since moving to a two year cycle, typically announces details only a few months ahead of each edition.
Tickets and Admission for Bons Sons 2028
In previous editions, a four day pass including camping was sold in phases, starting at around 45 euros and rising to about 70 euros in the final phase, while single day tickets most recently cost around 35 euros. Children up to a certain age entered for free. Exact 2028 prices are not yet known and will be announced on the official website once sales open.
