Misty Fest 2026: Lisbon, Porto and Loulé guide to dates, venues and tickets

If you have recently moved to Portugal, Misty Fest is one of the easiest ways to discover the country’s autumn music scene. The festival mixes singer-songwriters, world music, jazz and contemporary instrumental sounds, and it spreads its concerts across Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra and Loulé rather than packing everything into one weekend.

Here is a practical guide to the 2026 edition, with the dates, venues and booking tips you need.

When and where

• Lisbon: the main programme runs from 1 to 29 November, followed by two additional Rodrigo Leão performances, both on 18 December.
• Porto: concerts run through November, mostly at Casa da Música, and the Porto programme ends on 30 November.
• Loulé: one date, Raül Refree and Maria Mazzotta at Cineteatro Louletano on 14 November.
• Coimbra: Al Di Meola plays Convento São Francisco on 24 November.

Lisbon venues include the Coliseu dos Recreios, Capitólio, Sagres Campo Pequeno, LAV, São Luiz Teatro Municipal, Museu do Oriente and the Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB).

Lisbon picks

• José González, 1 November, Coliseu dos Recreios.
• Rodrigo Cuevas, 9 November, Capitólio.
• Raül Refree and Maria Mazzotta, 20 November, São Luiz Teatro Municipal.
• Alan Stivell, 21 November, CCB. His Porto show has been cancelled, but this Lisbon concert is still on the programme.
• Nancy Vieira and Francisco Sassetti, 27 November at 21:00, CCB. CCB describes the concert as a meeting between Nancy Vieira, one of the foremost figures in Cape Verdean music, and the neoclassical pianist and composer Francisco Sassetti. Tickets are €25, and CCB gives an age guide of 6+. See the CCB event page.
• Maria João and João Farinha, 28 November, CCB.
• Youn Sun Nah, 29 November at 21:00, CCB, one of the last dates of the November programme in Lisbon.

Porto and the Algarve

• José González, 2 November, Coliseu Porto Ageas.
• Rodrigo Cuevas, 10 November, Casa da Música.
• Raül Refree and Maria Mazzotta, 14 November, Cineteatro Louletano, Loulé.
• Vincent Peirani, 22 November, Casa da Música.
• Youn Sun Nah, 28 November, Casa da Música.
• Eliana Glass, Anne Paceo and Mammal Hands, 30 November, Casa da Música, the final Porto date.

Several artists play both cities on different nights, so if a Lisbon date sells out, check whether there is a Porto show the same week.

Tickets

• Ticket prices vary by concert. Use the official programme’s booking links for current prices and availability.
• CCB lists Misty Fest passes covering two or three of its concerts, which are worth a look if you plan to go to more than one CCB date.

Tips for newcomers

• Check the start time on each booking page, as concert times vary from venue to venue.
• Programmes can change, so check the festival site again close to the date.
