When is NOS Alive 2027?
NOS Alive returns from 8 to 10 July 2027 for its 19th edition, continuing a tradition that has drawn music fans to Lisbon every summer since 2007. Gates open at 3:00 PM on all three days, with the grounds staying open until 4:00 AM.
Where is NOS Alive held? A stage on the Tagus near Lisbon
The festival takes place at Passeio Marítimo de Algés, a riverside promenade right on the Tagus, just a few kilometres west of downtown Lisbon in the municipality of Oeiras. The combination of beachfront setting, skyline views across the river and open air stages has earned the festival its signature motto "Praia e Música" (Beach and Music).
