Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
The full 2027 lineup has not been announced yet. In previous editions, the programme ran across as many as five days, with strong international headliners alongside a wide range of Portuguese and international bands. Detailed set times are typically only published shortly before the event, via the official website and social media channels.
Daytime tends to be relaxed, with plenty of time for camping, food and the extra activities around the site, while evenings turn considerably heavier and louder once the main acts take the stage.
