Nos Primavera Sound

Nos Primavera Sound has cemented itself as one of the best festivals in Portugal, not only for its line-up but also for its exceptionally beautiful and green venue, size and diverse food court; which always includes some well-known Porto restaurants. It’s so good that not even rain can stop it!
During this year’s edition, several artists will finally make their debut in Portugal, as well as others that are already very dear to the public. If there’s one thing we can’t complain about, it’s genre diversity: there’s pop, rock, jazz, latin music – the list goes on. The line-up includes names like Rosalía (the queen of flamenco-pop), J Balvin, Solange, James Blake and Interpol, who are coming to present their latest albums.
Get your flower crown on and go get your tickets.
