Rock in Rio Lisboa 2026 is held over two weekends, on 20, 21, 27 and 28 June 2026, at Parque Tejo in Lisbon. The four headline nights are confirmed as Katy Perry (20 June), Linkin Park (21 June), Rod Stewart (27 June) and 21 Savage (28 June). Day tickets start at €89, and the venue is car-free, so access is arranged by shuttle, train or private transfer. Below, the dates, lineup, tickets and travel options are set out.
When and where
The 11th edition is held across two weekends at Parque Tejo, beside the Tagus in eastern Lisbon, near the Oriente area. The site is built as a “City of Rock”, with several stages, food zones and attractions, and the Vasco da Gama bridge forms the backdrop. Gates open at 13:00 on every festival day. On 20, 21 and 28 June the site closes at 02:00, while on 27 June it closes at 03:00. The last entry is set at 00:15.

The full lineup and the daily splits are published on the official site, and set times are released shortly before each day. Therefore, the programme should be checked close to the event, since changes can be made by the organisers.
Tickets
Tickets are digital, and they are sold through the official store and Fever. The categories are organised as follows: general admission at €89 for one day; a weekend pass at €157 for both days of the same weekend; Comfort Zone at €179; VIP at €380; and a Premium Club table for groups of 10 at €7,995. No additional service fee is applied. Because 20 and 21 June are listed as sold out, availability should be checked on the official tickets page before travel.
How to get to Parque Tejo
Parque Tejo enforces a car-free policy, and road access around the venue is restricted, so driving to the entrance is not possible. As a result, public transport and pre-booked transfers are the practical options. The main routes are organised as follows:
- CARRIS shuttle from Gare do Oriente. A round-trip service runs between Oriente and the City of Rock. Tickets are priced at €2 in advance, or €4 from 15 June, and children up to 12 ride free with an advance ticket.
- Metro to Oriente. The Red Line reaches Oriente, where the shuttle is taken. However, the metro itself does not reach the venue.
- Train to Sacavém. CP urban trains stop at Sacavém, which is about a 7-minute walk from the entrance.
Nevertheless, the venue closes at 02:00 (03:00 on 27 June), when public transport is reduced and the stations near Oriente are busy. Therefore, three points are worth planning in advance:
- Airport to hotel. Arrival days are busy, and queues build at the taxi rank. A private transfer is fixed in advance, so the price and the pickup time are known. See Lisbon airport transfer.
- Return after the last set. Because the festival finishes late, a private transfer to a nearby drop-off point, or to Oriente, removes the wait once the show ends.
- Groups and luggage. For groups, a single private vehicle is usually simpler than splitting across the shuttle and metro, especially with festival crowds.

Where to stay
Two areas are usually favoured. First, Parque das Nações sits close to the venue, so the journey at night is short and the area is modern. Alternatively, central Lisbon (Baixa, Chiado or Alfama) is chosen for its restaurants and viewpoints, although the venue is then reached by metro plus shuttle. Because festival weekends fill quickly, accommodation should be booked early.
