Sam GreenwoodLisbon city is one with a rich history of music and arts which is often overlooked when choosing a international festival to visit. The locals have a love for music of all kinds and this shines through with the broad array of music festivals hosted there every year.
The Portuguese capital enjoys sunny weather for a majority of the year, making it ideal for a warm getaway. We know the difficulty in trying to decide which foreign festival you want to experience every year, so let us introduce you to the Nova Batida festival. Despite its second year of running have a lot of excitement building around them from their already unique lineup.
This year they have curated an impressive and authentic lineup filled with artists including Four Tet, Jon Hopkins, Midland, DJ Seinfeld, Special Request, Ben UFO and our very own KETTAMA to name a few.
Have you made plans for the 13th – 16th of September yet? If not, stick this in the diary.
Not only do Nova Batida offer an intriguing electronic lineup, but they also offer other music types while still staying original. Friendly Fires, Slowthai, Jungle (DJ set) and more offer great variety of any attendees. Located close to the city center of Lisbon makes it easier for everyone to get to and from the festival; this also provides an abundance of accommodation for anyone looking to attend.
A combination of all the great aspects of this festival makes it a one not to miss and only at its second birthday soon means there is much to develop for and discover in the future of Nova Batida.
