Révéillon Carneiros is set to celebrate a significant milestone as it marks its 10th anniversary with an expansive eight-day edition on Brazil’s picturesque northeast coast. Returning to the stunning shores of Praia dos Carneiros in Pernambuco, the festival will run from December 26, 2026, to January 2, 2027, bringing together thousands of music lovers, artists, and international travelers for a momentous week of celebration, culture, and coastal connection.
Over the past ten years, Révéillon Carneiros has evolved from a localized New Year’s gathering into a globally recognized international event. The previous edition drew guests from 68 different countries and every single state across Brazil, cementing its reputation as one of South America’s premier cultural and musical New Year’s destinations. Returning to the very place where it all began a decade ago, this upcoming anniversary edition offers organizers and attendees a unique opportunity to look back at the festival’s rich history while anchoring themselves firmly in the present moment.
The overarching theme for this milestone year is "The Eternal Now," a conceptual framework that invites reflection on a decade of the festival’s existence while exploring the profound intersection of the past, present, and future. In a modern world where human attention is constantly fragmented and pulled in countless digital directions, the theme poses a grounding and deeply introspective question to every attendee: Are you here now? This philosophy permeates the entire eight-day program, encouraging participants to step away from distractions and immerse themselves fully in the sensory experiences, musical landscapes, and community bonds fostered along the Pernambuco coast.
To mark its tenth anniversary, Révéillon Carneiros has curated a massive lineup featuring 94 acts spanning the worlds of electronic music, live performance, and traditional Brazilian culture. The festival’s musical scope crosses multiple genres, scenes, and generations, bridging global electronic heavyweights with celebrated local icons. Leading the electronic music lineup are world-renowned headliners Black Coffee, Michael Bibi, ANOTR, and Jamie Jones. They are joined by a stellar supporting cast of international talent, including Jimi Jules, Kerri Chandler, Mau P, Monolink, WhoMadeWho, Hot Since 82, Carlita, and Franky Rizardo.
In addition to solo performances, the anniversary edition places a strong emphasis on collaborative energy through a series of special back-to-back sets. Festival-goers can look forward to unique pairings such as Adriatique b2b Vintage Culture, Mochakk b2b Maz, and Adam Ten b2b Mita Gami, which promise to deliver unforgettable moments across the dancefloors. True to its roots, the festival also ensures that Brazilian music maintains a key and vibrant presence throughout the week. Legendary artist Gilberto Gil is set to perform alongside Gilsons, while contemporary and regional sounds will be well represented by forró artist João Gomes, Thiaguinho, and the Syon Trio.
A major structural expansion for the 2026/27 anniversary edition is the introduction of a third stage, the Labryinto Stage. This new addition joins the festival’s existing Main Stage and Trópico Stage to accommodate the diverse musical programming and growing scale of the event. Created in collaboration with Labryinto, the creative collective renowned for their immersive gatherings in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, the new stage will seamlessly combine cutting-edge electronic music with a distinct, visionary approach to architecture and production.
The Main Stage will continue to serve as the epicenter for the festival’s larger-scale performances and monumental headlining acts, delivering high-energy spectacles under the stars. Meanwhile, the Trópico Stage will offer a more intimate, immersive setting with a dedicated house-focused musical program. Across these three distinct spaces, Révéillon Carneiros will present a dynamic variety of musical directions throughout its five major Night Celebrations, ensuring that every attendee finds a soundscape that resonates with them.
The Night Celebrations are scheduled to run nightly from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with the flagship New Year’s Eve celebration extending its magic from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM to welcome the first sunrise of 2027. Both the Full Pass and the Night Pass grant attendees access to an inclusive open bar and a continuous offering of high-quality food throughout the night, with culinary services expertly provided by Arcádia.
Beyond the nighttime festivities, the daily rhythm of the festival continues at the Mouton Beach Club. Here, six sunset parties will take place from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, allowing guests to dance and socialize against the breathtaking backdrop of the Brazilian sunset. Villa Mouton acts as the central hub and meeting point throughout the entire eight-day experience, bringing together a comprehensive range of guest services, amenities, and conveniences to ensure a seamless festival journey.
In alignment with its decade-long evolution, Révéillon Carneiros is also introducing its first-ever Wellness Club for the 2026/27 edition. Developed in collaboration with the NOW Festival, this newly minted space is conceived as a daytime club featuring its own dedicated, rejuvenating program. Guests visiting the Wellness Club will have access to a sauna, ice bath, and professional massage treatments, alongside a robust schedule of workouts, yoga sessions, pilates, informative talks, and interactive workshops.
Designed for flexibility, the Wellness Club allows guests to come and go freely throughout the day, with full access included for holders of both the Full Pass and the Night Pass. Furthermore, the festival’s well-loved Ritual program will return, offering guided meditation, sound healing, and specialized wellness sessions to complement the high-energy music schedule and provide a balanced festival experience.
Ten years after its inaugural New Year’s celebration transformed the quiet beauty of Praia dos Carneiros, the festival returns to its birthplace with a renewed vision. By honoring its past, expanding its creative boundaries, and emphasizing mindfulness through its "Eternal Now" theme, Révéillon Carneiros is poised to deliver a landmark anniversary edition that bridges generations, cultures, and continents on the shores of Pernambuco.
