MARO | MEO Stage, 28 August

MARO needs no introduction. Over the past eight years, she has released numerous records, joined Jacob Collier’s band on his world tour, created the project ITSAME, MARO!, through which she collaborated with artists such as Eric Clapton, Pablo Alborán and Rui Veloso, and reached the top 10 at Eurovision with the song “saudade, saudade.”

Today, she is one of the most internationally successful Portuguese artists of all time, and on 28 August she returns home for a reunion with the Portuguese audience that promises to be as magical as it is intimate. On the MEO Stage at MEO KALORAMA, she will present her latest album, SO MUCH HAS CHANGED.

ARTISTIC RESIDENCY BY CHELAS É O SÍTIO | Sagres Stage, 30 August

The Artistic Residency by Chelas É O Sítio is a project of creation, collaboration and cultural affirmation born from the creative energy of artists based in the parish.

Running for three months, the project begins at the end of April and creates a meeting point for artists, DJs and producers, encouraging musical experimentation, the sharing of artistic languages and the construction of new artistic narratives. In an effort to give opportunities to other neighbourhoods across Lisbon, the residency includes artists from all over the city, creating a more inclusive curatorial approach.

Developed across several spaces connected to creativity and youth culture, such as Kriativu, LX Jovem and music studios partnered with the association, the residency aims to highlight emerging talent and establish the Chelas community as one of Lisbon’s cultural epicentres, giving a platform to voices and aesthetics that reflect the contemporary identity of the city’s neighbourhoods.

Participating artists include Igor D’Araujo, Pandon and Real Boss, as well as DJs and producers DJ Slick, Milly, Young Max and JaySav. The curation of participants was led by Sam The Kid and Nuno Varela, founding members of the Chelas É O Sítio association.

At the end of the residency, the work developed will be ready to be presented live on the Sagres Stage at MEO KALORAMA, bringing to the stage the songs created throughout the process. This opportunity will be key in elevating and giving visibility to the artists involved, while also strengthening the close relationship between the festival and the parish that hosts it.

PANORAMA LISBOA STAGE

Since its first edition, MEO KALORAMA has consistently embraced electronic music. In 2026, the PANORAMA Lisboa Stage once again becomes a space exclusively dedicated to dance music, creating an environment where different musical genres coexist with one shared goal: to transform Parque da Bela Vista into a dancefloor where everyone is invited to dance.

On 28 August, the lineup for this stage features Budino, the Italian DJ and producer; Hunee, a DJ with an exploratory spirit known for intense and emotional sets; Lola Haro, a Belgian artist linked to Antwerp’s underground scene, who will perform a back-to-back set with Roman Flügel, one of the biggest names in German electronic music; Nathan Fake (live), the British producer known for a sonic universe that blends atmospheric techno, downtempo and shoegaze influences; and finally Viegas, a returning name at the festival and a regular presence in the city’s queer club scene.

On 29 August, Friday, the spotlight turns to Mind Enterprises, the italo disco duo that went viral on social media; Hiroko Yamamura, a DJ who fuses house, acid and techno as a tribute to Chicago’s rave legacy; Horse Meat Disco, one of the most celebrated dance music collectives today; Mário Valente, a major figure in Lisbon nightlife and the mind behind projects such as the radio show SALÓN FUZZ, the hi-fi house party VEM! and the duo A Night Out With the Hard Ones; and finally Suchi, producer and curator recognised for a vibrant, eclectic and globally minded club vision shaped by her Indian and Norwegian roots.

The final day is marked by a strong presence from Príncipe Discos, one of the most innovative and relevant electronic music projects in the world. Thus, on 30 August, the PANORAMA Lisboa Stage will feature DJ Lycox; DJ Marfox, founding member of the collective and a central figure in Afro-Portuguese music, responsible for popularising the Batida genre; Helviofox; DIIONYG; Nídia; O Ghettão, a project that brings together DJ Nigga Fox, DJ Danifox and DJ Firmeza in a supergroup blending polyrhythmic afro-deep-house, mutant kuduro and free-spirited minimalist jazz; as well as Soundpreta.

SAGRES STAGE

In its first edition as the Sagres Stage, the lineup stands out for its aesthetic and sonic diversity, embracing a wide range of talents from different generations.
