Evil Live Festival 2026: the metal festival in Lisbon, Portugal

Evil Live Festival settles at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, one of Portugal's largest venues, for a day dedicated to metal and alternative rock. This 20,000-capacity arena hosts five international artists representing different facets of contemporary heavy music.

The 2026 edition brings together three major headliners: Marilyn Manson, Mastodon, and Imminence. The lineup also welcomes The Gathering and Anneke van Giersbergen.

The evening explores a broad musical spectrum, from industrial metal to progressive metalcore, through traditional heavy metal and alternative metal. The festival also offers more atmospheric sounds with gothic metal and progressive rock, creating a contrasted experience that appeals to an eclectic audience.

Join us on July 5, 2026 at MEO Arena for this celebration of European and American heavy music.
