Marilyn Manson, Megadeth and Convergence perform in Lisbon today on Evil Live

ANDm reported, when the poster was announced, in December, the organization of the event, in charge of prosecutor Prime Artists, said that the festival returned to the “place and format that shaped the identity of the event and consolidated its reputation”.

The festival took place in 2025 over three days at Restelo Stadium, after two editions at MEO Arena, with names such as Judas Priest, Korn and Slipknot, among others.

Evil Live will thus mark the return of the American Marilyn Manson to Portugal, where she passed, in Campo Pequeno, in Lisbon last year.

The Mastodon also have in their history several passages through Portuguese territory, being in 2026 the first since the departure and subsequent death, in a car accident, of guitarist Brent Hinds.

On the other hand, the Americans Megadeth are in the one that is announced as the farewell tour of the stage, following the album they have edited and will also be the end point of Dave Mustaine's band.

Evil Live starts at 16:10 with Swedish Imminence, followed by Dutch The Gathering and American Convergence.

Starting at 19:20, they play Mastodon and, at 8:50 p.m., they go up to Megadeth stage, anticipating Manson's performance at 10:45 p.m.

On Saturday, in the Tagus Room of MEO Arena, there was a night of “heating” with Okkultist, Cavalera Conspiracy and Trivium.
