YARD Festival will return to Azeitão, Portugal, from May 21–24, 2026, expanding to four days for the first time while unveiling its full lineup and a series of collaborative art installations with Burning Man camps Favela and Tierra Bomba.
Set within the White Sand Mountains of the Setúbal region, the festival unfolds across a range of striking locations, including a historic castle and a coastal park. The result is an immersive environment where electronic music, large-scale art, and natural beauty intersect.
The 2026 lineup blends globally recognized names with underground and live acts. Headliners include Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, and Chris Stussy, alongside standout live and crossover performances from Bonobo, RY X (Live), and Monolink. The broader program spans house, minimal, and melodic sounds, with artists like Ahmed Spins and Gui Boratto, as well as a wave of emerging international talent.
This year, YARD Festival deepens its connection to art and culture by welcoming two camps from Burning Man. Favela, a Brazilian collective, brings the vibrant energy and sonic identity of Brazil, while Tierra Bomba channels the spirit of Latin culture through immersive installations and experiences.
Located in a historic winemaking region less than an hour from Lisbon, Azeitão offers a scenic alternative to Portugal’s more crowded coastal festival destinations. Surrounded by vineyards, local cuisine, and access to Arrábida Natural Park, the setting enhances the festival’s balance of exploration and escapism.
The weekend begins with a special castle opening event on Thursday before transitioning into the main festival grounds from Friday through Sunday. Each day runs from afternoon into late evening, featuring open-air stages, sunset sets, and a seamless blend of large-scale performances and intimate moments.
With its expanded format, curated lineup, and immersive setting, YARD Festival continues to position itself as one of Europe’s most distinctive and atmospheric summer experiences. Tickets are available now from €55 via Shogun.live
