SBSR announces new format starting in September 2026 featuring The Weeknd
The proposed OE2026 initiative aims to allocate one billion euros to support the academic success of students. This funding is intended to provide resources and assistance to ensure that students can excel in their educational pursuits. The goal of this initiative is to invest in the future of Portugal by empowering students and promoting academic achievement.
In response to the OE2026 proposal, the CCP has expressed disappointment, particularly on behalf of companies. The CCP believes that the proposed funding allocation does not adequately prioritize the needs and interests of businesses. They argue that companies play a crucial role in the economy and should be given more consideration in budgetary decisions.
Super Bock and Live Nation recently announced a partnership that will transform the Super Bock Super Rock festival into a series of concerts featuring global music phenomena. This new approach reflects changing trends in live music consumption, with a focus on providing unique and exclusive experiences for attendees. The partnership aims to offer continuous opportunities for fans to engage with their favorite artists and enjoy live music in a more intimate setting.
The first concert under this new format will feature The Weeknd and will take place at the Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon on September 5, 2026. This concert marks a significant shift in the festival’s structure, moving away from its traditional three-day summer festival format. The Super Bock Super Rock brand will continue to offer ticket pre-sales and exclusive initiatives to enhance the overall concert experience.
Ticket pre-sales for The Weeknd’s performance will begin on October 15 through the festival’s website. This concert will be part of The Weeknd’s “After Hours til Dawn” world tour, which features collaborations with American rapper Playboi Carter. The Weeknd’s performance in Portugal will be his fourth appearance in the country, following previous shows at festivals and solo concerts.
The Super Bock Super Rock festival has a rich history, dating back to its inaugural edition in 1995. Over the years, the festival has evolved and changed locations, providing fans with memorable experiences and showcasing a diverse lineup of artists. The partnership between Super Bock and Live Nation represents a new chapter in the festival’s legacy, offering fans more opportunities to engage with live music throughout the year.
Overall, the Super Bock Super Rock partnership and the OE2026 initiative reflect a commitment to investing in Portugal’s future. By supporting the academic success of students and providing innovative live music experiences, these initiatives aim to contribute to the country’s cultural and economic growth.
