Ageas Cooljazz returns to Cascais with a line-up you simply can't miss
It was in the green embrace of Jardim da Parada, in Cascais, with drinks and nibbles all around, that Ageas Cooljazz unveiled its 2025 edition. And there are plenty of reasons to mark July in your calendar already. The festival is celebrating 20 years with one of its strongest line-ups ever: 28 concerts, four Lazy Sundays, and loads of surprises promising to light up evenings (and late afternoons) along the coast.
Ageas Cooljazz 2025 runs from July 4th to 31st, featuring seven big concert nights and four free-entry Sundays, blending comfort, nature and quality music in one unique setting. It's all about staying true to the soul of jazz and soul, while leaving plenty of room for diversity – in genres and in artists.
Opening night, on July 4th, welcomes two unmissable acts: the brilliant Benjamin Clementine, master of voice and theatricality, and Portugal's own Rita Vian, who fuses fado and electronics. From there, the line-up just keeps on giving: the legendary Seal, rising star Margarida Campelo, and Brazilian sensations Gilsons and Jota.pê bringing a splash of Brazil to Cascais.
This year's programme also sees a clear boost to female representation and a renewed focus on jazz itself. And while music is at the heart of the festival, everything else matters too: Ageas Cooljazz remains a model of sustainability and inclusion – with zero waste, over 600 meals repurposed daily, accessibility and free events for everyone.
One of the big new features is the revamped Lazy Sundays stage, now set in Jardim da Parada, with DJ sets and performances from musical personalities like Ana Moreira, Catarina Moreira & Friends, Leonor Caldeira, Manuel Cardoso and Diogo Beja. Sundays come alive with music from 6pm to 9pm, all free of charge.
After sunset, the party keeps going with the Late Night Sessions at Parque Marechal Carmona, featuring the likes of Mafalda Nunes, Groove Armada (DJ set), Rui Maia and Peter Castro.
There's also space for up-and-coming talent with the Ageas Cooljazz x Smooth FM competition, this year crowning Razi, Bokor, Beatriz Nunes, Plasticine and Berlim.
With a line-up bursting with variety, a laid-back vibe, delicious food and drink, and a real commitment to social responsibility, Ageas Cooljazz is once again proving why it's one of the town's most beloved festivals. July in Cascais? It's all about jazz at sunset.

Katie Price turns heads in bold bikini on Dubai beach after 'arrest' warning
Katie Price stunned passers-by as she donned a neon bikini while enjoying a beach break in Dubai, just days after fans urged her to be careful about offending locals with her outfit choices Katie Price once again turned heads as she strutted through the surf in a barely-there neon bikini, while she enjoyed a beach break in Dubai. The former glamour model and reality star showed off her assets as she soaked up the sun, fresh from partying in Ibiza with Wayne Lineker. Mum-of-five Katie, 47, flaunted her surgically-enhanced body in the vibrant orange two-piece, showing off a multitude of tattoos and deep bronzed tan. Her black hair was slicked back as she walked through the shallow waters, having undergone countless procedures. Her striking look comes just weeks after she had her 17th breast augmentation, sparking fresh waves of debate over her decision to continually go under the knife for her looks. Although she's criticised by many for her surgeries and extreme weight loss, the Pricey remains defiant in her choices. Katie's recent outfit from her Dubai trip, a see-through mesh dress that showed off all her curves, caused fans to voice their concerns that she'd be arrested. One user commented on her Facebook upload: "I didn't realize in Dubai you could walk around like that I always thought Dubai had a strict clothes policy. I must have got that wrong !" Another was more blunt, fuming: "You'd be arrested for wearing that in dubai." A third added: "That outfit is totally disrespectful!!," while a fourth said: "She is a bit under dressed, respect the country your in." Although there are no laws for dress code, there are around respecting UAE culture. Any tourist who is deemed to be wearing inappropriate clothing is asked to agree not to do it again - if they do, legal action could then be taken. Katie has been candid about her cosmetic surgery, regularly discussing her procedures online, in interviews and on podcasts. Recently Katie revealed she has had one procedure that she regretted, despite the fact she's now on her fourth. The BBL is popular with celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, and it involves injecting fat into the buttocks to enhance their size and shape. The augmentation uses the patient's fat, harvested through liposuction. But Mucky Mansion star Katie admitted her botched Brazilian butt lift left her in severe pain. Speaking to Katherine Ryan on her What's My Age Again podcast, Katie admitted it was her biggest surgery regret. When asked the question, she replied: "The bum," before adding, "I tried that BBL abroad where they take your own fat and put it in your bum. It was so painful. And it just did not look right on me." In June, Katie reflected on the heartbreaking emotional forces behind her ever-changing appearance and obsession with her looks. In a recent TikTok live, Katie candidly admitted she feels inadequate. A fan asked her: "Why do you keep getting surgery?" To which Katie replied: "That is a very good question, so obviously I've had lot of therapy because I've had trauma in my life. "I think surgery stems from something from when I was younger, and me feeling I'm not validated or good enough. It must have started form there. But to be honest, I quite like having the surgery it makes me look fresh. "I'm 47 in May, and when I look at people I went to school with, I think they look haggard, you can grow old gracefully, but I don't want to grow old gracefully. If there's these procedures out there to be done I will take advantage of them and at least I'm being honest."
