NOS Alive is living proof that you can achieve status as one of the best festivals in Europe while maintaining a personal, harmonious feel. The festival has three main stages, all of which have been graced by some of the biggest names in rock, indie and alternative music including Bob Dylan, The Stone Roses and Linkin Park. Undoubtedly, the festival’s 13th edition will exude the same distinct feeling of serenity, eccentricity and passion. The crowd is usually made up of an eclectic group of characters from a vast range of ages and nationalities. Taking place in the middle of summer, NOS Alive’s position on the idyllic Oeiras coast allows festival-goers to soak up the glorious view of the Tagus river drenched in sunlight, while they wait in anticipation of their favourite artists. This three-day festival is one for the bucket list.

Don’t Miss: Maribou State are a British electronic duo with a kaleidoscopic sound that demands attention. The opportunity to see a performance of their recent album Kingdoms In Colour is not be passed up.
