What to expect from the New Gang Festival?
Trap is a subgenre of rap/hip hop that emerged in the southern United States (especially in Atlanta) in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Today, it is one of the dominant sounds among fans of the urban scene worldwide. With vibrant energy and powerful lyrics, the essence of this musical style is fully reflected in the New Gang Festival.
Here, the borders between Brazil and Portugal blur, with music taking on the metaphorical role of a bridge between these two sister nations. In fact, the festival itself was born as a platform to bring the new wave of Brazilian trap to national stages, while also featuring the best of what Portugal has to offer in this genre, fostering a spirit of close intercontinental collaboration.
For the 2026 edition, the festival organizers have confirmed the following artists: MC Meno K, Orochi, Major RD, Chefin, Raflow, TZ da Coronel, Teto, MC Paiva, and MC Murilo.
