The story

RFM Somnii in Figueira da Foz

RFM Somnii is a large electronic and dance music festival held each July in Figueira da Foz, on Praia do Relogio, organized by Portuguese radio station RFM. Marketed as the biggest sunset in Europe, it grew out of a 2012 event in Moledo before rebranding in Figueira da Foz from 2013, and now regularly hosts international headliners like Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, and Hardwell.

RFM Somnii did not begin in Figueira da Foz, and it did not begin with its current name.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

RFM Somnii's defining feature is its setting: the festival is staged directly on Praia do Relogio, a beach in Figueira da Foz, and built its identity around watching the sunset over the Atlantic while a major DJ headlines the main stage, a format its own marketing calls the biggest sunset in Europe

02

The mystery stays covered

It began life in 2012 as a one-off event called Maior Sunset de Sempre in Moledo before moving to Figueira da Foz and adopting the RFM Somnii name the following year, meaning the festival now has well over a decade of continuous history under its current branding

03

The city starts moving

RFM, the sponsoring national radio station, states that the event has drawn more than 600,000 visitors cumulatively since it began, with past single-edition attendance reported as high as 130,000 people
