About this event
The MEO Kalorama 2026 is considered one of the biggest music festivals in Portugal, renowned for its focus on electronic and alternative music. In 2026, the festival will be held from June 19 to 21, at Parque da Bela Vista, in Lisbon, attracting thousands of national and international visitors.
The official line-up has not yet been announced, but it is expected to feature a mix of international superstars and emerging talents, continuing the tradition of musical and visual innovation. More than just a festival, MEO Kalorama is a meeting point for those who live and breathe electronic culture in all its forms.
The event takes place at Parque da Bela Vista, a spacious and ideal venue for large festivals, with stunning views of the city and the Atlantic Ocean. Besides the music, participants can explore Lisbon, stroll through the historic center, take a ride up to Monte de Santa Luzia, or relax at the city’s beaches.
In addition to music, MEO Kalorama offers various immersive activities, such as art installations, workshops, audiovisual experiences, and wellness areas. While the festival does not provide traditional camping, there are glamping (Domo Camp) options with comfortable, well-equipped tents, offering a more exclusive and immersive experience for those who want to live the festival from the very first moment.
Access to the festival is easy: trains and buses connect Lisbon to other cities like Porto and Viana do Castelo, and Lisbon Airport is just 20 minutes away, making the festival accessible to everyone.
At The Cooltours, we believe these moments go beyond music: they are opportunities to immerse yourself in Portuguese culture in an authentic way. If you want to complement MEO Kalorama 2026 with cultural experiences, gastronomic delights, or exclusive tours, we are here to make your trip even more memorable.
