The story

Festival Ano Q is a non-profit community festival held on September 25 and 26, 2026, at Galeria Zé dos Bois in Lisbon. This sixth edition celebrates emerging and marginalized Portuguese artists alongside underrepresented pioneers, showcasing an array of sonic explorations. The festival emphasizes a communal spirit and aims to provide an alternative to mainstream cultural events, reflecting a diverse artistic selection.

Festival Ano Q is a ambient, experimental festival at Galeria Zé Dos Bois in Lisbon, PT. The September 2026 edition runs 25–25 Sept 2026.

Announced so far: Anrimeal, David J Amado, Helena Silva, Isma(el), Landa, Má Estrela, Mix'elle and Nazar and 4 more. Expect stages split between Ambient and Experimental.

Everything happens at Galeria Zé Dos Bois, in Lisbon. Lisbon · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

Festival Ano Q keeps the same calendar slot each year: September 2026 for this edition, opening on a Friday and closing on a Friday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Lisbon are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• 6th edition of the festival
• Held at Galeria Zé dos Bois
• Features artists like Nazar, Helena Silva, and Isma(el)
• Focus on community and non-profit values

What the trip costs from Paris

No ticket price is published for this edition yet, so the total below covers travel and a bed only. It updates automatically as soon as the organiser opens sales.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Festival Ano Q are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 2 nights rather than 1: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Festival Ano Q on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris

• The site itself is Galeria Zé Dos Bois, in Lisbon.
• Book a bed in Lisbon early — rooms around a festival sell out before the last ticket tier does.
