About · Fourth edition
HARBOUR
YARDS
For three nights the old customs quay becomes Brasswell: the Main Stage on the former car park, the Pier out on the water and the Warehouse inside the customs shed, each only a few minutes' walk from the next.
Doors open at 17:00 and the final ferry to the city centre leaves at 02:30, after the closing set.
Three stages, one quay
A SHORT WALK BETWEEN STAGES
MAIN STAGE
A former car park turned open-air arena for the biggest names, loud enough to be heard from the ferries. Cap. 12,000 · 18:30 – 01:00
(02) THE PIER
A timber jetty over the water with the sunset behind the band, made for the acts you will be talking about next summer. Cap. 2,500 · 17:30 – 23:00
(03) WAREHOUSE
A windowless former customs shed with one big sound system and the closing sets of every night. Cap. 1,800 · 22:00 – 02:00
Practical
GETTING THERE
— By boat: the festival ferry runs from Cais do Sodré every 20 minutes from 16:30. Your pass is your boat ticket — just show it at the pier.
— By train: Cascais line to Cais do Sodré, then the boat or a 15-minute riverside walk.
— By night bus: routes 201 and 728 stop at Harbour Yards until 03:00 on festival nights.
— Home: the last boat leaves at 02:30 and waits for the last set. No one gets stranded.
Practical
ACCESSIBILITY
