Full details

On September 25 and 26, 2026, Rádio Quântica presents the 6th edition of its non-profit community festival, Ano Q. Over two days, in a historic Lisbon space (Galeria Zé dos Bois), this event celebrates some of the most intriguing sound iterations of the Portuguese scene, with emerging artists and artists from typically marginalized communities alongside pioneering but underrepresented artists. ANO Q 2026 brings together a diverse selection of artistic projects that challenge the boundaries of the mainstream through their practice. The cultural program of this festival represents direct resistance to profit-based events; we seek to offer an alternative to the mainstream of an increasingly gentrified Lisbon, where a polished cultural standardization imposed from above or from outside has become the norm.
