Concerts & shows in Lisbon: music for all tastes

Lisbon, known for its monuments, art, culture, gastronomy, and for so many other amazing things, also has a massive international recognition for the events that offer to all music lovers, regardless of their musical taste - the Portuguese audience has even been considered as one of the best in Europe! And that’s why the concerts & shows in Lisbon are attractions that bring thousands of people to the capital every year.

Most crowded concerts & shows in Lisbon

NOS ALIVE
The combination of a comprehensive line-up, warm weather, and a perfect spot are crucial to make this festival the most popular in the country and one of the most famous and respected music festivals in Europe. Actually, we can say that NOS Alive is the leading music festival in Portugal since every year brings thousands of people to the capital. Portuguese rock, indie or alternative music; you can find all of these here. 
 
Every summer, NOS Alive is held at Passeio Marítimo de Algés, Oeiras, near the Tagus river, nearby the Portuguese coast - truth be told, the Portuguese coast is absolutely stunning and is one of the beautiful places in this country. And you only take about 15 minutes to get to the beach... sounds perfect, don’t you agree? 
 
If you are looking for concerts & shows in Lisbon with a line-up that fits in with different types of music, NOS Alive is the one. In fact, it is the perfect escape for all music lovers. Check its line-up! 
 
ROCK IN RIO LISBON
Rock in Rio is unique in the world since it was created for humanitarian and sustainable development purposes. Its mission is very simple: be more than the best music festival in the world, using its power to support building a better world and to help transform the planet not only through music and entertainment, but also through social, environmental and cultural causes - "For a Better World” is the project behind all of this. 
 
Rock in Rio is also the most popular music festival in the world, both in Brazil (main host) and in Lisbon (the city that has most shared its importance). It's considered as one of the longest and most versatile festivals ever since each day is designed for a particular type of music. However, it is so extraordinarily comprehensive that every day presents secondary stages and various venues for everyone to have fun, no matter the preferences or music tastes. Here, the music is for everyone and for all tastes!

SUPER BOCK SUPER ROCK
Another famous and loved music festival that you can’t miss. Despite his name "rock”, you can enjoy rock, indie, and alternative music band performances: every summer, the organization invites renowned international acts to perform, although its line-up also includes Portuguese talented music bands (something that happens in all Portuguese festivals). This festival has an interesting particularity: it can either be held at Meco, Sesimbra, or at Parque Tejo, in Lisbon. This year, a 25th-anniversary edition, the festival returns home, Meco, and it is predicted to be one of the best editions ever! Check the line-up of Super Bock Super Rock! 

 
But summer festivals are not the only attractions that bring so many people to town; Lisbon also has many important places that serve as a venue for concerts and music events of all kind. These are the main ones:
 
ALTICE ARENA -  One of the largest indoor arenas in Europe and it is the largest in Portugal (check the agenda!);
 
COLISEU DE LISBOA/ COLISEU DOS RECREIOS - An iconic and historical auditorium, built in the 19th century (check the agenda!);
 
CAMPO PEQUENO - The bullring of Lisbon that is also used for music performances (check the agenda!). 
 
That’s right: there are hundreds of concerts & shows in Lisbon that invite music lovers from all over the world; so, be one of them and discover all the wonders of the capital. You won’t regret it!
