The festival returns to Lisbon’s White Sand Mountains and other locations for an extended four-day edition this May
YARD Festival will return to Azeitão, Portugal, from May 21–24, 2026, expanding to four days for the first time and unveiling its full lineup alongside collaborative art installations with Burning Man camps Favela and Tierra Bomba.
Set within the White Sand Mountains of the Setúbal region, the event unfolds across a series of distinct spaces, including a historic castle and a coastal park, combining electronic music programming with large-scale art installations and stunning natural surroundings.
The lineup balances globally recognized electronic artists with underground acts and live performances. Headliners include Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and Chris Stussy, alongside live and crossover performances from Bonobo, RY X (live) and Monolink. They are joined by a broader program spanning house, minimal and melodic sounds, featuring names such as Ahmed Spins, Gui Boratto and emerging talents from the international circuit.
This year, YARD introduces two Burning Man art camps to the striking White Sand Mountains, further strengthening its connection between music and art. Favela, a Brazilian camp, brings the spirit of the favelas to life with the sounds and atmosphere of Brazil, while Tierra Bomba celebrates the essence of Latin culture.
Located in a historic wine-producing region less than an hour from Lisbon, Azeitão offers a more rural alternative to Portugal’s coastal festival hotspots, with vineyards, local gastronomy and access to the Arrábida Natural Park.
Programming begins on Thursday with an opening event at the castle, before moving to the main festival sites from Friday to Sunday, with daily sessions running from afternoon into late evening.
With open-air stages, sunset performances and a spectacular setting for both large-scale moments and more relaxed exploration, YARD Festival stands out as one of Europe’s most unforgettable summer getaways.
