Welcome to the North Music Festival 2027 in Maia
North Music Festival 2027 is expected to return in early June to Maia, at the Cidade Desportiva da Maia – only minutes from Porto Airport and the wider Porto area. The event mixes international pop and rock with strong Portuguese acts and admits visitors from age 6 with a paid ticket, making it notably family-friendly. Exact dates for 2027 have not been announced yet; recent editions have typically fallen in early June (2026: 5–7 June). Check northmusicfestival.com for official updates.
Highlights & Attractions at North Music Festival in Maia
- Family-friendly festival from age 6 (paid entry) – built for generations of pop and rock fans.
- A blend of international headliners and the Portuguese pop/rock scene across multiple stages.
- Home since 2026: Cidade Desportiva da Maia / Estádio Municipal Dr. José Vieira de Carvalho – more space, easier access and close links to metro, bus and the airport.
- Three stages in the last edition: main stage, a stage focused on Portuguese acts, and a sunset/DJ area for the evening.
- Full-length shows for top acts rather than short festival sets – a hallmark of recent editions.
- Easy access: about 10 minutes to Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, short walks to bus and metro, roughly 20 minutes to central Porto.
- Food areas, social zones and VIP options (Bancada VIP, Camarote) for extra comfort on site.
Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
The 2027 lineup has not been announced. North Music Festival in Maia typically balances pop, rock and alternative – international names alongside established and emerging Portuguese artists. The 2026 bill included The Cure, Snow Patrol, Europe, The Waterboys, Mogwai, Ornatos Violeta, Linda Martini, Luís Trigacheiro with Átoa and Liniker. The 2027 programme is expected to roll out in the months before the event.
In the last edition, doors opened at 16:00 and concerts ran into the late evening and night. Day-by-day set times are usually published shortly before the festival. Alongside the main stage, previous years featured a Portuguese-focused stage and a sunset area with DJs. Whether the same format returns in 2027 is not yet confirmed – follow the official website and the channels of promoter Vibes & Beats.
