GENERAL INFORMATION
When does Tremor 2027 take place?
Tremor 2027 takes place from March 16th to 20th, on the island of São Miguel, in the Azores.
What is the festival’s format?
Tremor is a festival that invites the audience to make choices, to create their own artistic route among different proposals, and to discover new artists, the island, and its communities.
It is impossible to attend everything—many concerts and activities happen simultaneously—and trying to go to every venue is discouraged in order to ensure a richer experience.
Each venue has limited capacity, and overlapping schedules ensure there is always something available to see. Concerts last on average 45 minutes, though this may vary depending on the artist and repertoire.
PROGRAMMING
When is the full lineup and schedule announced?
The festival lineup is announced in phases. Artists, bands, and residencies will be revealed between September 2026 and February 2027.
What is Tremor Todo-o-Terreno?
Tremor Todo-o-Terreno consists of secret walking routes in São Miguel finishing in a special performance specially developed for the location.
Participation is only available for general pass holders and require registration.
What is Tremor na Estufa?
Tremor na Estufa is an adventure: participants are invited on a journey to a secret location on São Miguel island for a surprise concert.
Participants are informed of the location on the same day at 11 AM, and may arrive by their own means or by bus. It is recommended to bring an umbrella, jacket, raincoat, and comfortable shoes.
Are there free-entry activities?
Free-entry activities will be announced in February 2027.

João Paulo II Airport in Ponta Delgada is just 10 minutes from the city center and is served by several airlines with direct connections.
Do I need to rent a car?
It’s up to you, but renting a car is the most convenient way to explore the island.
If you prefer not to, you can use festival buses or car-sharing options.
Is there public transport?
At Ponta Delgada Airport, you’ll find taxis, car rentals, and an Aerobus service (must be booked at least 24 hours in advance).
The city center has a mini-bus system, and the island has limited bus routes to places like Sete Cidades, Furnas, and Ribeira Grande.
Since 2025, BOLT and UBER are also available. Taxi services are also available via the Ponta Delgada Taxi Center.
Are there buses to concerts?
Yes, Tremor provides buses for events outside Ponta Delgada. Schedules and prices are announced on the “Tremor Buses” page in the Festival Guide.
Where should I stay?
Most events take place in Ponta Delgada, so staying there is recommended.
The island offers a wide range of accommodation options for all budgets. The festival website suggests options.
There is no festival campsite, but there are several campsites across the island.
Where can I find recommendations for activities and restaurants?

VENUES & PAYMENTS
Do you accept credit or debit cards?

Will alcohol be available? Can I smoke indoors?
Most venues have bars, but some do not serve alcohol and prohibit its consumption. Smoking is not allowed in closed venues. Outdoor venues have their own rules, clearly settled upon entrance.
Are activities accessible to children under 12?
Daytime activities are accessible, except for Tremor Todo-o-Terreno (requires registration). Some activities (Boca Cheia and Receitas do Baú) require tickets for children aged 6–12.
