The forests of Góis, in Portugal’s Coimbra district, host the first Chronosphere from 18 to 20 September 2026, a boutique 18+ electronic-music festival. The official site places it about an hour from Coimbra, with camping included on weekend passes beside the River Ceira.

The published lineup includes Moodymann, DJ Stingray 313, Gerd Janson, HAAi, Young Marco, Bambounou, Dan Shake, Elkka, Nicolas Lutz, OK Williams, Marie Montexier and ISAbella, among others. Programming sits on a single stage, without timetable clashes.

Camping opens on Thursday 17 September at 14:00. The festival site opens on Friday 18 September at 09:00. Music runs Friday 15:00–04:00, Saturday 13:00–04:00 and Sunday 13:00–03:00. Everyone must leave by Monday 21 September at 12:00. Day tickets cover 09:00–04:00.

Organisers say sustainability is part of the concept and promise a tree planted for every ticket sold, working with Góis City Hall and regional partners. There is no festival shuttle; no Coimbra–Góis buses run on Saturday, so public-transport visitors are advised to arrive on Friday.

Entry is 18+. Organisers emphasise accessibility and neurodivergent visitors, with regulation spaces and Safety Angels. This is a ticketed event with published rules and hours, not an illegal forest rave. The music timetable should be checked on chronospherefestival.com before travelling.
