Scheduled for 3–5 July 2026, Elétrico Festival once again takes over Parque Urbano da Pasteleira, a central green space often described as Porto’s urban lung. The setting has become closely associated with the festival’s identity, combining outdoor scale with an intimate sense of community.
The first lineup announcement brings together artists spanning house, techno, disco and experimental club sounds. UK selector Ben UFO joins the bill alongside South African artist DESIREE (RSA), while US-legends Eris Drew and Ron Trent represent deep-rooted dancefloor traditions.
They are joined by Luke Alessi, Klin Klop, Nicola Conte and Parra for Cuva, reflecting Elétrico’s continued focus on genre crossover and musical range. Closing the first wave of announcements, Rui Vargas returns to the lineup, maintaining his role as a consistent fixture of the festival. The Portuguese DJ is a long-time LuxFrágil resident and one of the country’s most established club figures.
With further artists yet to be revealed, Elétrico Festival 2026 positions itself once again as a meeting point for international artists and a growing local audience, framed by a setting designed for long days, open-air dancing and shared experience.
Beyond music, Elétrico continues to frame itself as a shared space rather than a conventional festival format. The event places equal emphasis on music, environment and connection, cultivating a setting designed for families, friends and returning communities to spend full days together. With its holistic approach, the festival positions music as a catalyst for togetherness, creativity and lasting collective experience.
3 day passes for Elétrico Festival 2026 are now on sale.
