Lollapalooza Brasil 2026: The Lineup by Day

Friday, March 20 — Sabrina Carpenter closes the Budweiser Stage at 9:30 PM, riding the global success of her sixth album and six Grammy nominations.

Brazilian reggae icon Edson Gomes, 70 years old with 50 years of career, makes his Lolla debut on the Flying Fish Stage. Kygo closes the electronic Perry’s Stage. Blood Orange and Ruel were added as late replacements after d4vd and Lola Young withdrew.

Saturday, March 21 — Chappell Roan headlines in her Brazilian debut on the Budweiser Stage. The pop-theatrical performer, currently at the peak of her career, is expected to draw the weekend’s largest crowd. Lewis Capaldi takes the Samsung Stage, Skrillex commands the Perry’s electronic stage, and Cypress Hill brings classic hip-hop. K-pop group RIIZE, Agnes Nunes, and TV Girl fill out the middle of the day.

Sunday, March 22 — Tyler the Creator finally performs solo in Brazil after canceling a 2018 Lolla appearance. He closes the Budweiser Stage at 9:30 PM. Lorde headlines the Samsung Stage, returning to Brazil with what reviewers describe as an intimate, powerful set. Turnstile brings hardcore energy earlier on the Budweiser Stage, while South Korean DJ Peggy Gou closes the Perry’s. Festival curator Marcelo Beraldo called Sunday his favorite day, saying he could “watch great shows from noon to midnight without stopping.”

Tickets and Prices

Three ticket tiers remain available through Ticketmaster Brasil. Lolla Pista (general admission) runs from R$1,093 ($195) for one day to R$2,815 ($502) for the three-day pass. Lolla Comfort, which includes an exclusive area with open bar, private bathrooms, and lockers, costs R$2,242 to R$5,232 ($400-$933). Lolla Lounge, with open bar, open food, and shuttle service, costs R$2,450 to R$5,117 ($437-$913). Half-price tickets are available for students and qualifying groups.

How to Get There

This is critical: streets around Interlagos will be closed to private cars, motorcycles, and ride-hailing apps. The festival strongly recommends official transport only.

Metro/Train (best option): Both run 24 hours all three days. Take Line 9-Esmeralda to Autódromo station. After midnight, boarding is exclusively at Autódromo station with exits available at all other stations. No advance ticket purchase needed.

Express Train: Via Mobilidade operates departures every 30 minutes from Pinheiros and Morumbi stations to Cidade Dutra, a four-minute walk from the entrance. Return service runs 11 PM to 1 AM. Tickets cost R$35 ($6.25) and must be purchased online in advance.

Lolla Transfer: Executive buses from eight pickup points across the city, including hotels near Congonhas airport and Ibirapuera Park. R$239 ($43), no stops, must be booked in advance.

Practical Details

Gates open at 11 AM with the first show at noon each day. Last entry is 10:30 PM. The age rating is 16+; minors aged 5-15 may enter accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Under-5s are not admitted. The festival will be broadcast live on Multishow (main stages) and Bis (alternative stages), both also streaming on Globoplay.

Four stages — Budweiser and Samsung for headliners, Flying Fish for alternative and Brazilian acts, Perry’s for electronic music — plus the Chef’s Stage food court area. With 33 international acts, 17 Brazil debuts, and half the lineup Brazilian, this Lollapalooza Brasil 2026 edition leans heavily into the mix of global star power and local discovery that has defined the festival since it arrived in the country in 2012.

Recent Developments · updated 4 September 2026

Brazil’s live-music calendar is at its densest point of the year, which is the clearest available read on the market Lollapalooza is booking into. Rock in Rio 2026 opened on 4 September with Elton John’s final Brazilian show, and São Paulo has back-to-back arena dates: Demi Lovato plays Suhai Music Hall on 15 and 16 September and 5 Seconds of Summer follows on 18 September.

The festival circuit around it is filling out through the southern spring. Festival do Rio takes over the city from 1 to 11 October, MUBI Fest runs in São Paulo from 11 to 13 September, and Acampamento Farroupilha holds Porto Alegre through 20 September. Regionally, MUTEK lands in Buenos Aires from 7 to 11 October. That routing density usually precedes firmer fee expectations for the March slots.

Nothing has changed on the Lollapalooza Brasil 2026 dates or the Interlagos venue. The 20 to 22 March edition is still awaiting its lineup confirmations, which historically land once the year-end touring calendar settles and promoters know which acts are already routed through South America.
