See 10 shows you should pay attention to at Rock in Rio 2026

Rock in Rio 2026 is not limited to just the major headliners and main attractions of the festival. The event also features new acts, rising artists, and established names in special shows, offering a great mix of styles and musical approaches. CBN has prepared a list of 10 shows that may go unnoticed by the audience but deserve attention from festival-goers. Among the highlights, there are options for different musical tastes, from pop to Brazilian music, with artists who are going through important moments in their careers or who are reuniting especially for the occasion. For pop fans, the festival brings a star who is not exactly new but is going through a period of greater professional success. For lovers of Brazilian music, there will be a special reunion available, in addition to two big names performing simultaneously on parallel stages. Rock in Rio traditionally serves as a showcase space for new artists, especially in the rock scene, and in 2026 this tradition continues. One example mentioned is the duo Nova Twins, which mixes rock influences and is scheduled to perform on day 4 of the festival, representing precisely this role of discovering new talent that the event usually fulfills.
