Vodafone Paredes de Coura is an emblematic northern Portuguese festival, valued for both its music programme and its setting in the Taboão valley. Its scale, landscape and commitment to alternative scenes give it a distinctive European identity.
Music in the landscape
The site combines a river beach, woodland, camping and several performance areas. The stay is part of the experience, with audiences often arriving before the main concerts.
An independent artistic line
Alternative rock, indie, electronic music, hip-hop and new songwriting share a programme that supports discovery while welcoming established international artists.
2026 edition
The festival runs from 12 to 15 August 2026 at Praia Fluvial do Taboão. Camping, shuttle and ticket information is published by the organiser.
