Paredes de Coura Festival is a rock festival that is held every year in August at Praia do Tabuão in Paredes de Coura, Portugal. It is one of the three largest music summer festivals in Portugal, together with Sudoeste Festival and Optimus Alive. The first edition was held in 1993. In 2005, the Spanish edition of Rolling Stone named it as one of the five best summer festivals in Europe.

Following last year’s edition, the production of the Paredes de Coura Festival has decided to maintain the same high level of infrastructures and site conditions, thus guaranteeing everyone’s safety and well being.
So, several key points which contributed to last edition’s success were maintained: hygiene at the site, security systems, and a great diversity of offers at the food court, among many others. At the camping site there are bathrooms with cistern, sewage and running water.

For everyone’s greater safety and Comfort, there are at the site ATMs, and some leisure areas were created, such as the News Lounge, a space where festival goers can regain their strength while reading newspapers and magazines. It is important to highlight that for all of those that are fans of the “virtual world”, there is a tech tent where festival goers can access broadband internet.

Due to the site’s capacity and safety conditions, which have to be respected, the production informs that the ticket number is limited.
