Lollapalooza Brasil 2026 opens this Friday at the Autódromo de Interlagos in São Paulo, bringing 72 acts across three days in what organizers call the strongest lineup the festival has assembled. With headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Tyler the Creator anchoring each night, the 13th edition spans pop, rock, rap, and electronic music from noon to past midnight.
The Rio Times, a Latin American financial news outlet, has compiled the essential guide to the festival — who to see, how to get there, what it costs, and what’s changed this year.
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. Before her, rapper Doechii (Grammy winner for Best Rap Album) takes the same stage at 7:05 PM. The Samsung Stage features Interpol and Deftones. 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 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.

Brazil’s live-music economy has stayed in the headlines since Interlagos emptied out. The 2026 Brazil Music Awards revealed a recorded-music market splitting into niches, with regional genres outgrowing mainstream pop, while a star-studded Cazuza tribute headlined the awards lineup – both useful signals for guessing which acts promoters will chase for next year’s festival season.
Streaming platforms are betting on the same momentum: Netflix is expanding its slate of Latin American originals ahead of the World Cup, deepening the audience overlap between music festivals, football and screen entertainment that Lollapalooza Brasil has long traded on, and giving international acts one more reason to route their tours through Sao Paulo.
Festival-goers looking for the next big crowd before Lolla 2027 should consider June’s winter festivals – Sao Joao, Brazil’s biggest party after Carnival, runs all month with free concerts across the Northeast.
