NOS Alive 2026 starts Thursday: tickets, headliners and how to get to Algés
NOS Alive 2026 runs July 9-11 at Passeio Marítimo de Algés with Twenty One Pilots, Nick Cave, Lorde and Florence + The Machine. A practical guide to tickets and transport.
It’s this week. NOS Alive 2026 takes over the Passeio Marítimo de Algés from Thursday to Saturday, July 9-11, and anyone still deciding whether to go has little time left — and probably little choice of tickets.
When is NOS Alive 2026 and who is playing?
The festival runs July 9-11 in Algés, just west of Lisbon. Topping the bill are Twenty One Pilots, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Lorde, Pixies, Florence + The Machine, Wolf Alice, Teddy Swims and Portugal’s own Buraka Som Sistema, among dozens of names across the various stages. The full day-by-day, stage-by-stage line-up is on the festival’s official site — check set times there, as the organisers finalise them.
How much are NOS Alive tickets?
Day tickets cost €84, a two-day pass €167 and a three-day pass €199, sold through the usual channels and the official site — which is also where you’ll see what hasn’t sold out yet. Buying from touts at the gate is a lottery: don’t risk it.
How do you get to the festival site in Algés?
Forget the car — parking nearby on festival days is close to mission impossible. The Cascais-line train to Algés station leaves you a short walk from the entrance, and there are buses plus the 15E tram on the Lisbon side. Heading home, CP usually reinforces late-night trains during the festival; even so, expect crowds at the exit and some waiting.
