Festival Iminente 2026 has its lineup and tickets, and it takes over Marvila from 17 September
Festival Iminente turns ten in a former industrial school in Marvila, Lisbon, from 17 to 20 September 2026. Lineup, dates, ticket prices and what to expect.
Tickets start at €20 and the programme runs four days: Iminente is back in full festival form, turning ten, and it has picked a disused industrial school in Marvila to do it. The dates are 17 to 20 September.
After four years without the big version, the return is ambitious — over a hundred performances, installations and exhibitions spread through the old Escola Industrial Afonso Domingues, with Portuguese and international artists sharing the building with street art, which has always been half of this festival’s identity.
How much do Iminente 2026 tickets cost?
Day tickets are €20 in advance and €25 on the door. The weekend pass is €38, three days costs €55, and the full four-day pass is €70. They are on sale through Ticketline. For a Lisbon festival with this much programming packed in, it is one of the more civilised price tags on the calendar.
Who is playing at Iminente this year?
The headline moments lean heavily on Portuguese hip-hop history: the return of Mind Da Gap, Sam The Kid presenting Beats Vol.1 backed by an orchestra and Orelha Negra, and a night built around Lisa. Add Mão Morta sharing a stage with João Barradas and Mariana Vilanova, plus Gisela João, Nenny, Ana Lua Caiano, Allen Halloween and Expresso Transatlântico.
It is a lineup that crosses generations without asking permission, and it fits a place like Marvila — a neighbourhood that has spent the decade changing its skin.
Is it worth travelling to from outside Lisbon?
September helps: August’s heat is gone, accommodation prices drop, and this is an urban festival with the metro a short walk away. Anyone planning the tail end of summer can pair it with the rest of August’s festivals around the country and close the month in Lisbon.
The full lineup and practical details are on the festival’s official site.
Ten years on, Iminente is still what it always was: a festival you go to as much for the walls as for the music.
