Bryan Adams Lisbon

After spending many months in Europe, Bryan Adams will wave goodbye to Europe and travel back to Canada for a well-deserved holiday after his concert in Lisbon. The concert in the capital of Portugal means the end of his “So Happy It Hurts”-tour that started in Europe on April 26 with his concert in Gothenburg in Sweden. In other words, this is your last chance to see Bryan Adams live in Europe in 2024.

The Bryan Adams concert in Lisbon is arranged on November 20, 2024. It will be arranged in the most popular concert venue in Lisbon, the Altice Arena. Here you can listen to “Summer of ’69” together with nearly 20,000 others, making it one of the biggest indoor concerts with Bryan Adams this year in Europe.

Bryan Adams isn’t old yet, but he is getting older, like the rest of us. It is impressive how he is holding up, but we don’t know when he will do his next concert tour in Europe. As a result, if you are a fan, you better be there at this concert in Lisbon, because we have no clue when he will come back to Lisbon and Portugal.

Olivia Rodrigo Lisbon 2024

Are you coming to Lisbon for “Rock in Rio” in 2024? Are you able to stay for a few more days, which again will give you the chance to be there at one of the Olivia Rodrigo concerts in Lisbon? Or are you coming to Lisbon solely to be there at one of the Olivia Rodrigo concerts?

Olivia Rodrigo is touring all of Europe in early 2024, and she will visit lots of cities. But, there are not many cities that get the pleasure of having two concerts with the young artist known from the Disney series “High School Musical”, or for her super-hit “Drivers License.”

Altice Arena is the venue that will host the Olivia Rodrigo concerts in Lisbon. It used to be called MEO Arena, and it is located in a cool area called Parque das Nações. At most, 20,000 people can fit inside Altice Arena. That’s a lot of people, and it will be full during both Olivia Rodrigo concerts in Lisbon in 2024.

It is easy to travel to Altice Arena. You can use different ways like buses, trains, or even the metro. If you’re coming from the city center, you can take the metro’s red line and get off at the Oriente station. From there it’s just a short walk to the arena.

André Rieu Lisbon

We are lucky in Lisbon, because during his world tour in André Rieu in 2024, he will have three concerts in Lisbon. That is way more than in cities such as Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Zagreb, Ljubljana, and many others where he will only be on stage for one evening. Would you like to be there at one of the André Rieu concerts in Lisbon?

André Rieu is a fantastic musician, but he is even better known as the director of the Johan Strauss Orchestra and as a fantastic showman capable of bringing classical music to the crowds in a way they enjoy and love. It isn’t a coincidence that his videos are all seen by millions of people on YouTube, and he has a total of more than 1,000,000,000 views on YouTube.

The concerts in Lisbon are arranged at Altice Arena, a venue capable of receiving more than 20,000 spectators. As one would expect, the tickets for the André Rieu concerts were quickly sold out, so the best option if you want to be there at one of the concerts is to buy them at a marketplace for tickets. You will find a link to such a site a little bit further down in the article.

If you live in Northern Europe, you should absolutely consider coming to Lisbon in October/November. Why is that? While it is getting colder in the north, the temperatures in Lisbon are still fantastic, meaning you can walk in shorts and a t-shirt and enjoy a glass of wine outdoors, even late in the evening. The city has a lot to offer, and there are fantastic attractions and programs waiting for you as you come. One of the coolest programs in Lisbon is to use the nostalgic trams which you can read more about here in our Lisbon Guide.
