October 21 at 9pm +5
Teatro Armando Cortez · Lisboa
A late-night newsroom shifts into something more poetic: journalists chasing a story on fado and democracy end up reliving it. Ary dos Santos' verses and live Portuguese guitar carry the night toward the dawn of April 25th.
October 30 at 9pm
Casa Capitão · Lisboa • 8 €
Halloween gets the full symphonic treatment as the Metropolitana Wind Orchestra conjures Celtic spirits, Japanese haunted objects, and Homeric storms. A devilish waltz caps off this spooky, cinematic night.
Nov. 21 & Nov. 22 at 5pm
Grande Auditório da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian · Lisboa • 16 €
A film shot live in Bamako, performed before your eyes. Actors roam the Malian capital by foot and motorcycle while a musician-griot scores the journey on kora: part documentary, part sci-fi road trip into possible futures.
December 12 at 9:30pm
Sagres Campo Pequeno · Lisboa • 20-50 €
One person's light, multiplied: the Gala dos Sonhos turns Campo Pequeno into a stage for the Sara Carreira Association's scholarship recipients, with performances and stories celebrating six years of dreams made possible.
January 30 at 7pm +1
Centro Cultural de Belém · Lisboa
Hermann Hesse's seeker gets a radical stage reinvention, with singer-songwriter Meskerem Mees as Siddhartha. Caroline Shaw's score, a 24-voice Latvian choir, Sufi song, and Indian dance collide in one boundary-blurring quest for meaning.
April 22 at 10am +3
Cais de carga do Grande Auditório - CCB · Lisbon
Suzana Francês turns the stage into a vibrant assembly where African rhythms, voice, and movement ask what democracy sounds like. A musical journey through identity, home, and memory for curious minds aged six and up.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
