Rhythm + Waves Festival 2026

The new generation has come with the introduction of Rhythm + Waves giving people the bold and refreshing new chapter in the European festival scene. The festival, which will first appear in the summer of 2016, on the beach in Portugal, presents a celebrity-filled show where the largest names of global rap and electronic culture will come together.

Headliners including Gunna, Ken Carson, Chase & Status, D-Block Europe and special guest A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie lead a stacked bill over two days. The Wake Stage features more rap frontrunners including the likes of Lancey Foux and Destroy Lonely, whilst Bass and DnB heavyweights take over the Centre East Stage, from Hybrid Minds and Andy C, to DJ EZ, Skream, Flava D b2b Arthi, SHERELLE and more. Portugal’s biggest dance festival NEOPOP will also curate a cutting-edge house and techno program on the Centre West Stage, with names still to come.

Rhythm + Waves is poised to splash as the biggest unmissable festival launch in 2026 as the festival hits the beach over 27th and 28th June. Three huge stages, two days, and all celebrating the cross pollination of the world sounds that are defining modern culture, Rhythm + Waves is meant to be an event of the future in the most stunning beach in Europe.

Every detail of the festival is engineered for scale, immersion and atmosphere. Expansive ocean views with sand underfoot meet a world-class production to transform the Algarve coastline into a high-energy cultural landmark, delivering a premium festival escape with no compromise.
