Independent artists playing in Lisbon 2026 🎶

Not only mainstream artists come through Lisbon — I wanted to highlight some independent artists performing in the city this year. A mix of emerging acts and more established live performers who are still off the mainstream radar.

Some are local discoveries like Lesma Trio, others are international artists I’ve been following for a while like Benjamin Clementine or Men I Trust. Different genres, different venues, but all artists I personally find inspiring.

I’m especially excited to see Juana Aguirre at ZDB this May!

🎧 Check out the playlist with all these artists in my bio!

Who should I add to the list? Let me know in the comments. 👇
