MEO Marés begins a new chapter in 2026 and moves to Leça da Palmeira, in Matosinhos, reinforcing the ambition, scale and experience of the festival. With a new home by the sea, MEO Marés maintains the DNA that has made it a benchmark in the national music scene, focusing on a strong programme, unique experiences and a more accessible, comfortable and inclusive festival experience for all audiences.
The first name confirmed for 2026 is Da Weasel, who return to MEO Marés with a special show on the MEO stage, accompanied by an orchestra and conducted by maestro Rui Massena — a unique moment that reflects the festival's commitment to memorable artistic encounters. The programme will continue to grow with new national and international announcements, maintaining MEO Marés as one of the great stages for live music in Portugal.
More than just concerts, MEO Marés is a complete experience, combining music, culture, innovation, sustainability and new ways of experiencing the festival. The new location in Matosinhos reinforces the connection to the territory, the sea and mobility, integrating the event into the urban and cultural dynamics of the region. MEO Marés 2026 promises an even more engaging edition, designed to be lived intensely — with friends, family and the unique energy of those who know that summer begins here.
