The Super Bock Super Rock festival in Portugal enters a new era

Super Bock Super Rock is entering a new chapter. After three decades as one of Portugal’s major summer festivals, the event is moving away from its traditional three-day format and becoming a year-round series of concerts in partnership with Live Nation. For anyone who wants to arrive without stress and head home without rushing, hiring a car with Guerin can be the real VIP pass to the concert. Here’s why.

Super Bock Super Rock will no longer be just a fixed date in the summer calendar. In 2026, the concept takes a new direction: instead of concentrating everything into a single weekend, it will bring together concerts throughout the year, featuring international artists.

It is a shift that reflects the way audiences now want to experience live music. They are no longer just looking to go to a festival. They want the right concert, at the right time. And that changes everything: buying the ticket, choosing the venue, planning how to get there, getting back home and even turning the concert into a short break.

This new phase of Portugal's festival Super Bock Super Rock is starting on a high note. The Weeknd will perform at Estádio do Restelo, in Lisbon, on 5 September 2026, with Playboi Carti. Bryan Adams brings his Roll With The Punches tour to Portugal on two dates: 17 November 2026 at Super Bock Arena, in Porto, and 20 November 2026 at MEO Arena, in Lisbon. Karol G will then take to the stage at Estádio da Luz, in Lisbon, on 18 June 2027.

This means Super Bock Super Rock is no longer just a festival destination. It is becoming a calendar of major live music moments.

For concerts like these, the experience does not begin at the venue. It begins with the journey. With a hire car, you choose the departure time, the playlist, the stops along the way and the plan for before or after the concert. There is no need to depend on the last public transport services, queues for ride-hailing apps or timetables that do not fit the end of the night.

On concert days, travelling by car keeps things simple: just leave with plenty of time and choose a parking area slightly further away from the busiest crowds.

With concerts taking place on different dates and at different venues, the best way to make the most of Super Bock Super Rock is to plan each journey in advance. Before setting off, check the venue, concert times, parking areas and any traffic restrictions that may be in place on the day.

For anyone travelling from outside the city, hiring a car makes the whole experience easier. You can choose when to leave, avoid relying on crowded public transport and return at your own pace after the show. For groups of friends, it is also a practical way to share costs and turn the concert into a short getaway.

For international visitors planning to combine a Super Bock Super Rock concert with a longer trip around Portugal, hiring a car at the airport can be the most convenient way to start the journey. It gives you total freedom to visit coastal towns, historic centres or natural parks before or after the concert, without having to adjust your plans to train or bus timetables.

Guerin’s Pack Platinium is the complementary product that best fits the new rhythm of Super Bock Super Rock. As the festival becomes a series of concerts throughout the year, each show may involve a different city, venue, journey and schedule. That is why comfort and peace of mind matter even more.

With Pack Platinium, the car hire experience becomes smoother from start to finish, helping you focus on the concert rather than the logistics of the trip. Whether you are travelling from another part of Portugal, arriving at the airport or planning a short break around the show, this option adds an extra layer of convenience to the journey.

With the new Super Bock Super Rock format, each concert can be more than just one night of music. It can become a road trip with friends or family, a weekend away or the perfect starting point for exploring Portugal.

That is where Guerin comes in: giving you the freedom to arrive on time, park away from the busiest areas, explore the city before or after the show and travel back in comfort when the final song ends. Book your car through Guerin’s 100% digital process, add Pack Platinium for extra peace of mind, choose the right vehicle for your plans and get ready to experience Super Bock Super Rock at your own pace.
