The Evil Live festival will have a single-day edition in 2026, on July 5th, at the MEO Arena, in Lisbon, with North Americans Marilyn Manson and Mastodon.
In a statement released this Tuesday, December 23, the organization of the event, in charge of the promoter Prime Artists, states that the festival thus returns to “the location and format that shaped the identity of the event and consolidated its reputation”.
The festival took place this year over three days at Estádio do Restelo, after two editions at MEO Arena, with names such as Judas Priest, Korn and Slipknot, among others.
Evil Live will therefore mark the return of the American Marilyn Manson to Portugal, where he visited, at Campo Pequeno, in Lisbon, last month.
Mastodon also has several visits to Portuguese territory in its history, being in 2026 the first since the departure and subsequent death, in a road accident, of guitarist Brent Hinds.
In the statement released today, the organization also confirmed the presence of the Dutch The Gathering and the Swedish Imminence.
The organization is announcing the announcement of more names soon and highlights that “the entire lineup will be composed exclusively of artists of enormous international importance”.
Tickets are on sale for prices between 75 and 79 euros.
