MEO Kalorama returns to Parque da Bela Vista for its fifth edition on 28–30 August 2026. First held in 2022, the festival draws over 100,000 visitors across three days to one of Lisbon's largest urban parks and traditionally closes the European summer festival season. Programming runs from late afternoon into the early hours.
The crowd is predominantly Portuguese, with international visitors drawn by the lineup's UK and US headliners. The mood runs calmer and more music-focused than mainstream pop festivals. Daytime sets unfold under shade trees, while the natural bowl fills as the sun drops behind the Lisbon skyline. Dance music keeps PANORAMA running into the early hours.
Parque da Bela Vista is shaped like a natural bowl, giving sightlines to the main MEO Stage from almost any spot. The PANORAMA Lisboa Stage runs electronic music sets exclusively, while the MEO and Sagres stages host the rock, pop and hip-hop bill. 40% of the music lineup is reserved for women, part of the festival's inclusivity commitments.
