DIAMANDA GALÁS
ANNOUNCES THREE PERFORMANCES FOR FEB 2026
OUT 1 NOVEMBER 2025 (DAY OF THE DEAD)
Diamanda Galás has announced details of three performances in Portugal in February 2026, taking place at some of the country’s most prestigious venues: Lisbon’s Culturgest on 11 February, Braga’s Theatro Circo on 14 February and Porto’s Casa da Musica on 18 February.
February’s dates follow the release, on 1 November 2025 (Día de Los Muertos), of two commanding works: a newly remastered reissue of her 1988 album You Must Be Certain of the Devil, and De-formation: Second Piano Variations, a live recording of her meticulously reworked score for the solo piano skeleton of ‘Das Fieberspital (The Fever Hospital)’, captured during an intimate, candlelit performance at the basement auditorium of the Pinault Gallery in spring 2025.
Since the formation of her own imprint, Intravenal Sound Operations (in 2017), Galás has been at the helm of one of her most productive periods of work. The new label has launched a remastered series of reissues from her vast back catalogue, as well as new releases including De-formations First and Second Variations (2019 and 2025) and Broken Gargoyles (2022). She has hosted three installations of Mutilatus in New York City, Hanover and Braga (2020-2021), has been composing the live show for her Das Fieberspital work, and, most recently, performed at the Pinault Gallery in Paris.
Her live work, installation work and recent releases have all underlined her position as one of the most uncompromising and visionary artists of our time.

A Plea From Louder Than War
Louder Than War is run by a small but dedicated independent team, and we rely on the small amount of money we generate to keep the site running smoothly.

We know times are tough, and we want to continue bringing you news on the most interesting releases, the latest gigs and anything else that tickles our fancy. We are not driven by profit, just pure enthusiasm for a scene that each and every one of us is passionate about.
To us, music and culture are eveything, without them, our very souls shrivel and die. We do not charge artists for the exposure we give them and to many, what we do is absolutely vital. Subscribing to one of our paid tiers takes just a minute, and each sign-up makes a huge impact, helping to keep the flame of independent music burning! Please click the button below to help.
