Boutique art and music festival AY\u00c3 has officially revealed its highly anticipated line-up as it prepares to return to Brazil\u2019s breathtaking north-eastern coast for an immersive New Year celebration running from 27 December 2026 to 1 January 2027. Bringing six days of world-class electronic music, contemporary art, and unforgettable outdoor experiences to the stunning coastal destinations of Jericoacoara, Pre\u00e1, and Barrinha, the boutique festival will welcome up to 2,000 discerning guests. The intimate gathering features three exclusive open-bar party nights distributed across five distinct stages, complemented by a comprehensive broader programme of daytime wellness sessions and intellectual seminars, all of which are fully included with the purchase of a standard full festival pass.<\/p>\n

The newly announced artist roster showcases a carefully curated mix of established underground pioneers and forward-thinking selectors from across the globe. Attendees can look forward to performances from deep house pioneer Chez Damier, Berlin regular Cassy, and Japanese house legend Satoshi Tomiie. They will be joined by French minimal and house favourite Sweely, alongside prominent headliners Brunello and Ahmed Spins, ensuring a musical journey that bridges classic underground sounds with contemporary electronic innovation.<\/p>\n

Brought to life through a creative partnership between Portuguese electronic music collective Yard and experiential festival group Immersion Community, AY\u00c3 is fundamentally built around a collaborative approach to modern festival culture. The organization prioritizes creative expression, human connection, and a strong sense of community rather than mass commercial appeal. This ethos is reflected in the layout and curation of its music programme, which unfolds across five dynamic stages. These include the main AY\u00c3 Stage alongside four independently curated Burning Man camps: Tierra Bomba, Kazbah, Favela, and Sacb\u00e9. Each of these camps brings its own distinct creative identity and specialized musical direction, fostering intimate, vibrant spaces for discovery and genuine connection between visiting artists, dedicated organizers, and passionate festival-goers.<\/p>\n

Beyond the rich auditory experience, AY\u00c3 invites guests to immerse themselves deeply in the distinctive landscapes, local culture, and natural wonders of Brazil\u2019s north-eastern coastline. Jericoacoara serves as the cultural heart of the area, celebrated far and wide for its charming sandy streets, independent restaurants, artisan ateliers, and spectacular, unobstructed sunsets over the ocean. Nearby Pre\u00e1 is renowned globally for its expansive, windswept beaches and world-class kitesurfing conditions, drawing adventure seekers from every corner of the planet. Meanwhile, Barrinha offers a quieter, more contemplative setting characterized by rolling dunes, tranquil freshwater lagoons, and serene natural pools, providing a perfect counterweight to the high-energy nocturnal celebrations.<\/p>\n

The full festival pass is designed to offer a blended, comprehensive experience that extends well beyond standard nightlife. It covers the open-bar privileges, access to continuous 24-hour parties taking place on the 27th, 29th, and 31st of December, and admission to the daytime wellness sessions and educational seminars. For those looking to deepen their engagement with the local environment and culture, guests also have the opportunity to book a variety of additional activities at an extra cost. These supplementary adventures include guided regional tours, exhilarating ATV and buggy excursions through the shifting dunes and coastal trails, professional kitesurfing lessons, and breathtaking skydiving experiences. Together, these diverse offerings\u2014alongside the independently curated camps and art-led programming\u2014cultivate shared moments where music, nature, creativity, and community become equally vital elements of the journey.<\/p>\n

Positioned as much more than a conventional New Year\u2019s Eve celebration, AY\u00c3 functions as an intimate global meeting point for international electronic music culture and independent creative communities. It offers a refined boutique festival experience deliberately shaped by its people, its artistic installations, and its extraordinary Brazilian backdrop. <\/p>\n
