Super Bock Super Rock

Super Bock Super Rock will celebrate its 25th birthday this year, and because of that they will move the festival to the beach. Great decision if you ask us! Besides famous artists, like Lana del Rey, you can also enjoy the music of promising Portuguese artists.

To get to Meco Beach, your best option is taking a car. You could also take a bus from Lisbon to Sesimbra, and from there catch the bus to Meco.
