Réveillon 2026: Copacabana stages celebrate the arrival of the new year with great names of Brazilian music

The Rio Stage, located opposite the Hotel Copacabana Palace, will be one of the highlights of the celebration of the Réveillon 2026, bringing together great names of Brazilian music in a program that values cultural diversity and invests in innovation and technology.

The burning of fires promises to be historic: there will be 19 ferries distributed along the waterfront, almost twice the number used in 2024, and 12 minutes of pyrotechnic spectacle, the largest ever performed in the city.

DJ Cady opens the night and controls the sound during the concert breaks. Among the musical attractions, Gilberto Gil takes the stage in a special presentation, with the participation of Ney Matogrosso, in an unprecedented meeting. Another novelty is João Gomes' debut at Réveillon of Copacabana, at the turn, taking the wink to the sands of Princesinha do Mar. Singer Iza will be invited by the artist and promises to cheer the audience up with her big hits.

From 1:40, Alok takes over the stage with an unforgettable set. The evening schedule is completed with the participation of the Beija-Flor of Nilópolis, the current champion of the Carnaval, taking samba to the celebration of the New Year.

For the first time, Réveillon of Copacabana will have new visual dimensions, combining even more technology, new creations and emotion. A drone show will be part of the celebration, with images synchronized to light flights and a special soundtrack signed by Alok. The biggest drone show in Latin America!

The programming of Stage Rio reinforces the plural and democratic character of the Rio Réveillon, offering attractions for different audiences and musical styles, in one of Rio's most emblematic scenarios.
