Rock in Rio, a bridge between Portugal and Brazil: the artists who cross the Atlantic

SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 16:10

Rock in Rio is a music festival that, through its editions held in Portugal and Brazil, has become a cultural bridge between the two Lusophone countries. The event is not limited to connecting different musical genres, but also facilitates the movement of artists from one side of the Atlantic to the other.

Among the artists who have been crossing the Atlantic through the festival, there are names that perform both in Lisbon and in Rio de Janeiro, contributing to this cultural exchange between the two countries.

The festival is scheduled to return in 2026, when several artists confirmed for the lineup will perform at both editions of the event, keeping this tradition of connection between Portugal and Brazil alive.

This dynamic of Rock in Rio reinforces its role as one of the largest Lusophone music festivals, consolidating its importance in promoting artists and in creating cultural ties between the two sides of the Atlantic.
