Sines

Filipe Sambado (Portugal)

Sines - Castelo | 18h00 | Free admission

She spent her childhood and adolescence constantly moving from one place to another, and perhaps that restlessness helps explain her. If her growth was shaped by wandering within borders, her music carves a path through the intimacy of confession and the vulnerability of those in transit. Whether in the poetry of “Vida Salgada” (2016), the indie-rock anthems of “Filipe Sambado & Os Acompanhantes de Luxo” (2017), the exploration of the Portuguese songbook in “Revezo” (2020), or the weaving between hyperpop and shoegaze in “Três Anos de Escorpião em Touro” (2023) - and its negative image “Gémea Analógica” (2025) - everything begins and ends with the song itself. She brings a new album, 5678, for the opening of the Castle stage.

Aïchoucha by Khalil Epi (Tunisia)

Sines - Castelo | 21h00 | Buy ticket

What are we going to see on stage? A concert, a documentary film, an audiovisual performance, a ritual? Perhaps a crossing point between all of these: an immersive experience reclaiming Tunisia’s musical memory through the lens of contemporary creation. Conceived and directed by Khalil Epi, composer and electronic music producer, Aïchoucha places traditional music in dialogue with modern electroacoustic textures. On the screens assembled on stage, images filmed in the heart of Tunisia unfold before us. The music is performed, and reinterpreted, live. A project that reveals the possibilities of technology when placed at the service of preserving regional cultures.

Lia Kali (Catalonia – Spain)

Sines - Castelo | 22h15 | Buy ticket

She emerged in 2023 with “Contra Todo Pronóstico”, a collection of songs conceived as a personal catharsis to heal the sorrows and fears of everyday life. This Barcelona artist did not expect audiences to connect so deeply with her music. In 2025 came confirmation with “Kaelis”, a set of songs no longer created solely for her own healing, but offered instead as a gift to the world. To Spain’s vibrant new urban music scene, Lia Kali adds a soulful voice infused with elements of rap, reggae and blues. At the beginning of 2026, she won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Public Choice Award at the MME Awards, the European Union prize for emerging European artists.

Julian Marley & The Uprising (Jamaica / United Kingdom)

Sines - Castelo | 23h30 | Buy ticket

Still fresh is the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album, “Colors of Royal”, won in 2024 together with Alexx Antaeus. A deserved triumph for Julian Ricardo Marley, born in London in 1975, son of Lucy Pounder and Bob Marley. With reggae running through his veins, studying in Jamaica with veterans of the genre only made his destiny all the more inevitable. In 1996, he released his debut album, “Lion in the Morning”. During the first decades of the 21st century, he collaborated regularly with his brothers while building a solid path as a musician, songwriter and producer. Roots reggae is his territory. Rastafarianism is his faith.

Yakuza (Portugal)

Sines - Galp Stage @ Av. Vasco da Gama | 01h00 | Free admission

They are children of Lisbon’s working-class neighbourhoods, where community spirit and unpretentiousness prevail. They are a band, or perhaps a shifting collective. What they certainly are is a group of experienced musicians never drawn to rigid definitions. On the album “2”, which brings them to FMM, there are five constants: Afonso Serro, Afta3000, Pedro Ferreira, Alexandre Moniz and Pedro Nobre. Advocates of open-ended collaborations, they can be found across many other projects. In Yakuza, the direction points towards modern jazz, electronics and the urge to dance born from synthesisers, syncopated drums, luxuriant keyboards and powerful basslines. Musicians driven by pure freedom.

Super Parquet (France)

Sines - Galp Stage @ Av. Vasco da Gama | 02h30 | Free admission

Modern ambassadors of the sounds of central France? Wrong. Masters of neo-traditional fusion? Not that either. Electronic renovators of a disappearing heritage? Not quite. Since 2014, Super Parquet has allowed itself to be all of these things: joy, dance, sweat and, above all, celebration. Antoine Cognet (banjo), Louis Jacques (vocals, cabrette, bagpipes), Léo Petoin (producer) and Simon Drouhin (BAB synthesiser) set the traditional dances of Auvergne villages on a collision course with electronic music. From Lyon, they create music driven by repetitive patterns, danceable rhythms and psychedelic trances. Music from our time and from all times, made for dancing on Avenida Vasco da Gama.
