MEO KALORAMA 2025: Lisbon’s Ultimate Summer Music Kickoff
by Adriano Batista
Lisbon’s Parque da Bela Vista is about to transform into a three-day musical paradise as MEO KALORAMA returns with its most exciting lineup yet. From June 19 to 21, over 40 artists will take over three stages, blending global superstars, underground innovators, and Portugal’s own rising talent, all wrapped in the festival’s signature vibe of inclusivity, art, and sustainability.
The MEO Stage opens strong on June 19 with Father John Misty’s poetic indie rock, followed by synth-pop legends Pet Shop Boys and The Flaming Lips’ full-album performance of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Day two brings the explosive return of Scissor Sisters after 12 years, Azealia Banks’ razor-sharp rap, and headliner FKA Twigs’ R&B. Closing night, don’t miss Jorja Smith’s soulful vocals or Damiano David (of Måneskin fame) turning the stage into a rock spectacle.
Over at the San Miguel Stage, Portugal’s own shine: Capital da Bulgária debuts new tracks, supergroup Cara de Espelho merges folk and indie, and BRANKO wraps the weekend with a masterclass in Portuguese electronic beats. International standouts include Sevdaliza’s haunting alt-pop, Boy Harsher’s darkwave pulse, and Róisín Murphy’s disco-infused eccentricity.
For electronic devotees, the PANORAMA LISBOA Stage is a non-stop dancefloor. Highlights: The Knife’s Olof Dreijer (June 19), Viegas (June 20), and Berghain resident Ryan Elliott (June 21) leading into Daniel Avery’s closing set.
Doors open daily at 4:00 PM, with music pumping until 3:00 AM. Beyond the stages, expect art installations, eco-conscious setups, and a crowd united by pure musical joy.
