From July 10 to 13, the hills of Mondim de Basto will once again pulse with sound, movement, and connection as Vinculum Festival 2025 returns for its fourth and most ambitious edition yet. Set against the serene backdrop of Parque das Merendas, right beneath the iconic Monte da Senhora da Graça, the festival offers an experience where electronic music flows in harmony with nature.
Since 2022, Vinculum has built a reputation as one of Portugal’s most intimate and forward-thinking electronic music gatherings. Born from the vision of three friends and fueled by a deep love for the underground, it has grown into a space where collectives, selectors, and dancers meet with purpose. This year, the festival expands to four full days of programming, bringing together 29 acts that span the spectrum of contemporary club culture.
From the precision of groove by James Ruskin to the hypnotic energy of Japanese master DJ Nobu, from GIGI FM’s genre-bending sets to the live frequencies of ASEC and Carmen, the lineup is a bold statement of Vinculum’s curatorial edge. Selectors such as Talismann, Forest Drive West, upsammy, Nastia Reigel, and Shed vs. Head High will also bring their own sonic language, reinforcing the festival’s mission: to explore electronic music as a tool for deep listening, shared experience, and artistic evolution.
But Vinculum is more than its lineup. It’s a festival where music is not just heard—it’s felt, embodied, and embedded in the land. Inspired by the idea that “music is the human expression of the world’s natural energy,” the event blurs the line between landscape and dancefloor, between artist and audience. Here, every tree, path, and moment becomes part of the composition.
