The 42nd edition of Jazz em Agosto in Lisbon opened on July 31 with a solo concert by pianist Joachim Kühn. The second day featured a duo performance by David Maranha (organ) and Rodrigo Amado (tenor saxophone) at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. Later, the action moved to the Open-Air Amphitheater in the Gulbenkian Garden, where the quartet Canyon featured Sylvie Courvoisier on piano, Jerome Deupree on drums, Joe Morris on double bass and Lester St. Louis on cello.

Day three began with a sold-out concert by Fred Moten and Brandon Lopez, followed at the Open-Air Amphitheater by Shardik Cruelty Bacchanal, featuring Matt Hollenberg on electric guitar, Sana Nagano on acoustic and electric violin, Nick Jost on electric bass and Danny Sher on drums.

The fourth night put the spotlight on Portuguese artists with the Lisbon Underground Music Ensemble at the Open-Air Amphitheater. On the fifth night, Bonbon Flamme took the stage with Valentin Ceccaldi on cello and synthesizer, Luís Lopes on electric guitar and synthesizer, Fulco Ottervanger on piano, synthesizer and voice, and Etien Ziemniak on drums, electronics and synthesizer.
