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.

'I've paid £120k to reverse my surgeries so I look like my kids again'
Mum and influencer Tracy Kiss said she's fed up of being a 'Barbie doll' and has spent £120,000 to reverse her surgeries after years of being stared at. She says she 'wants to look like her kids again' A mum who began indulging in beauty treatments as a teenager has grown weary of being labelled an "unrecognisable Barbie doll" and has now spent £120,000 to undo her cosmetic procedures, swearing off Botox and fillers for life. Tracy Kiss, who has faced "soul-destroying stares" from women convinced she's out to snatch their husbands due to her "super-sized doughnut breasts", is fed up with the judgement and 'wants to look like her kids again. The 36-year-old, from Buckinghamshire, has endured unwelcome remarks and glances from people both in person and online, making everyday activities like beach trips with her children or the school run a daunting experience. Throughout nearly two decades, Tracy has had five breast augmentations, chin liposuction, an eyelid lift, nose job, Brazilian butt lift, labiaplasty, teeth straightening among other procedures. In addition to regular Botox and facial fillers, the mum also maintained her looks with semi-permanent makeup touch-ups and eyelash extensions. Exhausted by the constant scrutiny, Tracy has spent the past year reverting to a more natural look. "People judged me negatively and assumed that I would be self-obsessed and uneducated," said Tracy, who boasts 1.2 million followers on Instagram, in a chat with NeedToKnow. She expressed how others mistakenly thought she was miserable and loathed herself, believing she needed surgery and aesthetic treatments to feel 'beautiful', which she insists was never true. "What started off as a very innocent 'treat' to have pretty nails and a nice tan for summer in my teens ultimately turned me into an unrecognisable Barbie doll in time," she said. "But I feel that I had to reach that point of fake-ness in order to bounce back, wake up and return to my natural self. "I realised my choices over my appearance were only taking me further away from my authenticity and personality, so removing it feels like returning home." She added: "Now I actually look like my own children and receive so many compliments for looking much younger without makeup and 'not trying too hard." Tracy began her transformative journey in August last year, spending £4,500 on breast reduction surgery in Turkey to change her size from a 32H to a 32C. Since then, she's bid farewell to her fillers, which she previously had injected into her chin, jawline, nose, and lips. The mum has also given Botox the boot and stopped booking follow-up appointments for her hair and nails. Tracy explained: "It's all too easy to spend £60 per week on lashes and nails, which then becomes hundreds per month when you factor in hair appointments, tanning, Botox and fillers top-ups. "Before you know it, you suddenly have huge thick eyebrows, big lips and a motionless face with the smallest of imperfections becoming blindingly obvious. "I realised that the woman staring back at me in the mirror isn't the person that I know myself to be." Now Tracy brims with newfound confidence and is looking forward to enjoying the summer with her kids without the worry of attracting undue attention. She remarked: "I feel far happier and healthier rolling out of bed and enjoying life without spending hours in the mirror fretting over signs of ageing. "I live life for myself, as an individual, without the need to impress or compete with anybody because of my appearance. "I don't need beauty to feel beautiful, I just have to be myself."

A Brazilian extravaganza is taking over 10 iconic spots in Hong Kong
The summer heat is really kicking in, so why not bring in a touch of spice from Brazil? A 10-day spectacle is going to sweep into town towards the end of this month, transforming our city into a pulsating celebration worthy of Rio. Approximately 50 world-class performers from Brazil will put on samba dances, reggae drumming, capoeira martial arts, freestyle football, and more – all complemented by Brazilian food and drinks. This marks the first time that we are hosting 'Extravaganza! When Brazil Meets Hong Kong', which will take place across 10 of the city's most iconic landmarks, including Central Market, Lan Kwai Fong, Lee Tung Avenue, the Tsim Sha Tsui harbourfront, and the Wan Chai HarbourChill space. Mark your calendars for June 20 to 29 – the event's three-day grand finale will then take place at the Hong Kong Observation Wheel and AIA Vitality Park from June 27 to 29. The finale will have free admission for all, and is open from 1pm to 11pm. For those who'd like an enhanced festival, get experience package tickets on Klook, which include themed photos with costume rentals, all-you-can-drink passes, Brazilian game booths, and more.
