masters of puppets is a czech-based annual festival spanning hi-tech, psycore, darkpsy, forest, and tekno, running across multiple floors and several days each summer. the portugal teaser is its open-air satellite event, held at a rural quinta outside lisbon, running roughly 28 hours. the 2025 edition was the first of these portugal dates, organized in partnership with changa records, and the 2026 edition is its direct continuation.

the lineup for this edition skews heavily toward brazilian and south american artists, with several acts making their portuguese debuts, alongside artists from across europe. the genre focus stays within the darker and harder end of the psychedelic spectrum, consistent with the parent festival's identity.
