Réveillon Carneiros turns 10 with a third stage and a sauna

Réveillon Carneiros will run eight days for its 10th anniversary, from December 26, 2026 to January 2, 2027, on Praia dos Carneiros in Pernambuco. The lineup has 94 acts, a third stage and, for the first time, a place to sit in an ice bath between sets.

Michael Bibi, ANOTR and Jamie Jones lead the bill under this year’s “The Eternal Now” theme. Black Coffee, Kerri Chandler, Jimi Jules, Mau P, Monolink, WhoMadeWho, Hot Since 82, Carlita and Franky Rizardo are also on it. The festival has also lined up three special back-to-backs: Adriatique b2b Vintage Culture, Mochakk b2b Maz and Adam Ten b2b Mita Gami.

The stage count is the structural change. The Mainstage and Trópico Stage are joined by the Labryinto Stage, built with the Labryinto collective. It will pair electronic music with the group’s approach to architecture and production across the festival’s five Night Celebrations. That is a different arrangement from simply adding a tent. The collective brings its own production identity, so the room has its own look and, presumably, its own booking logic instead of overflow from the main bill.

For anyone building or pitching a lineup, 94 slots over eight days across three stages leaves a lot of room for different kinds of sets. The Mainstage can carry the names. A collective-run stage can take the selectors whose sound would get lost at peak time. The B2B pairings show the same thinking. Putting Adriatique next to Vintage Culture is a booking decision about two audiences, not just two sets.

Brazilian music is part of the program too, and not as a footnote. Gilberto Gil plays alongside Gilsons, with João Gomes, Thiaguinho and Syon Trio also on the bill. A festival that mixes a Tropicália veteran with Black Coffee and Jamie Jones is selling a week of Brazil with dance floors in it, and that changes what a DJ needs to bring.

Then there is the Wellness Club, a debut made with NOW Festival. It offers a sauna, ice baths, massages, ambient music and rest areas. The returning Ritual program covers yoga, meditation, sound healing and training. You can read that as lifestyle packaging, and partly it is. It also says something practical about a week this long: the festival is planning for people who need to recover on day four. Ambient music in the recovery space is a small booking niche that did not exist on the old model, where the only options were a stage or the hotel room.

The festival’s own site has details on tickets and the day-by-day schedule. Stage assignments for the 94 acts have not been published, so which names land on the new Labryinto Stage is the thing to watch.
