The seventh edition of the event brings together 14 national and international rock and heavy metal bands to celebrate music in a family-friendly environment, featuring a merchandising area and a gastronomy and leisure zone.

“The goal is to give people the opportunity to share and experience music in Condeixa, which is rare, and outside the region, most events aren't geared towards this type of music. We felt there was a significant gap in the Central region, especially in the municipality of Condeixa and the district of Coimbra, regarding music,” André Costa, from the organisation of the initiative that began in 2018, told the Lusa news agency.

The program for the first day of the festival, dedicated to rock, features only national bands and is headlined by Travo, with Orangotango, Jepards, and Zurrapa also performing, along with El Saguaro and Traz os Monstros!

On the second day, dedicated to heavy metal, the Italian band ADE will take the stage, performing in costumes dressed as Roman legionaries, along with the Spanish band Jade and the Swiss band Henriette B, as well as the Portuguese bands Fjords, Flood in Belief, Hazing Lungs, Alpha Warhead, and Terramorta.

“It’s an eclectic lineup, within the possibilities that our association has to hire bands with the values ​​involved,” stated André Costa, pointing out that the festival budget is between 25,000 and 30,000 euros.

Regarding public attendance prospects, the organisation expects it to "go as well as last year," with around 800 to 1,000 people attending over the two days, while expressing some caution given the current economic situation.

"We tried to work to maintain or slightly surpass the numbers, but, as the situation in the country and the world has become very unstable in recent months, we are a bit hesitant about whether we will be able to reach or exceed last year's numbers," admitted André Costa, adding that ticket sales "are slightly below" 2025 levels.

Daily tickets cost €12 and €17, and a general admission ticket costs €25, already available on Ticketline.

Entry is free for children under 12.
