Sol da Caparica 2026 has locked its lineup and tickets are on sale — four beach days of Lusophone music
Sol da Caparica 2026 runs 13-16 August at Costa da Caparica's urban park in Almada, with Calema, Slow J, Quim Barreiros, Nininho Vaz Maia and Sam the Kid. Day-by-day lineup and tickets on sale now.
There is one festival in Portugal where accordion legend Quim Barreiros and rapper Slow J share a poster and nobody blinks — and it is now less than a month away. Sol da Caparica returns to the Parque Urbano da Costa da Caparica, in Almada, from 13 to 16 August, with the lineup locked, tickets on sale and the same recipe as ever: serious Portuguese-language music, from fado to hip hop, a short walk from the beach.
Who plays Sol da Caparica 2026?
Day one, 13 August, opens with fado singer Sara Correia, Brazilian duo Maiara & Maraisa, Orochi, Landrick and Papillon. On the 14th the Via Verde stage hosts Veigh, Mizzy Miles, João Pedro Pais and Calema; the 15th brings Vizinhos, Deejay Telio, Nininho Vaz Maia, MC Kevinho and the Mundo Segundo & Sam the Kid duo; and the 16th closes big with Quim Barreiros, Lon3r Johny, MC Paiva, ÁTOA and Slow J. The Sagres stage runs DJs and acts like Más Influências and Memo à Tuga.
When is it and how much are tickets?
Thursday to Sunday, 13-16 August, with day tickets plus two-day and four-day passes sold through Blueticket and the usual outlets — full details are on the festival’s official site. A nice touch: residents of the Almada municipality get special prices on proof of address, and under-18s enter accompanied or with a signed authorisation.
August is crowded with alternatives — that same week Paredes de Coura fills the Taboão amphitheatre up in the Minho — but if you want a festival with sand between your toes and a lineup sung in Portuguese, Sol da Caparica still has no real rival.
Update, three days out: resident prices and the rules at the gate
Resident prices are now published in the festival’s FAQ, and one ticket type has already gone. Anyone living in the Almada municipality pays 23 euros for a day ticket and 42 euros for a two-day pass, both limited to available stock, while the four-day resident pass has sold out. That leaves the residents-only Family Pack at 155 euros for all four days including Children’s Day: two adults and two children up to 16, with three of the four required to share the same tax address. One purchase per tax number.
Two rules worth knowing before you reach the gate. A day ticket does not let you leave and come back in, unlike a four-day pass once the wristband is on. Under-threes are not admitted at all; children aged four to six enter free with a signed guardian’s waiver, and pay full price from six upwards.
Residents inside the security perimeter collect a vehicle permit at the Mar box office next to the CMIA, with proof of address. For everyone else, in August, on a Caparica beach, the ferry and a south-bank bus will serve you far better than any attempt to park.
