Viseu jazz festival expands as SQUARE announces 2027 lineup

The Que Jazz É Este? festival is extending its programming into the autumn, moving from central Viseu to the parishes of Silgueiros de Bodiosa and Várzea de Calde. The October schedule includes street performances by the Chinfrim collective, discussions exploring the intersection of music and science—such as the book ‘A Harmonia das Esferas’—and concerts blending improvisation, theater, and visual arts.

In a separate cultural announcement, the SQUARE festival has revealed its initial lineup for the 2027 edition. The diverse roster features international artists including Anna Vis (Brazil), Carme López (Spain), Chisara (UK), and iD-sus (Senegal), alongside several Portuguese performers such as Gisela Mabel, Helviofox, and TRAVO. The lineup spans various genres, including electronic, jazz, afro-art-pop, and experimental music.
