On September 25 and 26, 2026, Rádio Quântica will present the 6th edition of its nonprofit community festival, Ano Q.
Over two days, at a historic venue in Lisbon (Galeria Zé dos Bois), this event celebrates some of the most intriguing soundscapes on the Portuguese scene, featuring emerging artists and artists from typically marginalized communities alongside pioneering yet underrepresented artists.
ANO Q 2026 brings together a diverse selection of artistic projects that challenge the boundaries of the mainstream through their practice. The festival’s cultural program represents direct resistance to profit-driven events—we seek to offer an alternative to the mainstream of an increasingly gentrified Lisbon, where a polished cultural standardization imposed from above or from outside has become the norm.
