North Festival '24 - Third day
The North Festival 2026 will take place from 5 to 7 June at the Cidade Desportiva da Maia, and the lineup is now complete. The final programme brings The Cure, Snow Patrol, Mogwai, The Waterboys, Europe, Ornatos Violeta, Linda Martini, Liniker, Luís Trigacheiro and ATOA to the festival’s three-day bill.
The official ticketing pages confirm the full schedule day by day. On 5 June, the lineup includes Snow Patrol, Luís Trigacheiro, ATOA and Ornatos Violeta; on 6 June, The Waterboys, Liniker and Europe; and on 7 June, The Cure, Linda Martini and Mogwai.
The move to Maia remains one of the central storylines of this edition. The festival is being staged in the Cidade Desportiva da Maia, with the official presentation stressing a larger venue, improved access and a setting designed to support a bigger audience.
With the cartaz now closed, North Festival 2026 is shaping up as one of the strongest live-music events in the north of Portugal this summer. The mix of international legacy acts and Portuguese names gives the edition a broad appeal, from alternative rock fans to audiences looking for major names with cross-generational reach.

The festival’s move to the Cidade Desportiva da Maia remains central to the announcement, with the organisers presenting the new site as a larger and more practical setting for the event. Tickets are still available.
