After a decade without performing in Brazil, Mumford & Sons return to the country as headliners of the Sunset Stage at Rock in Rio 2026, this Saturday (12). The last time the British group performed in Brazil was at Lollapalooza 2016, in São Paulo.

Before the show, Marcus Mumford and Ben Lovett gave an interview to GLOBO. In the conversation, the musicians said it is "really a desire" of the band to make performances in Brazil more frequent. The band, which also includes Ted Dwane, tends to think about Brazilian fans when planning a tour.

According to Mumford, returning to Brazil is something the band discusses every time they schedule a tour. He revealed that he asks the team how they can return to the country, and that it is difficult to make happen, but that it is "simply a relief to be back." Mumford added that the show held in São Paulo ten years ago is probably one of their favorites they have ever done.

Why this matters

The band signals intention to return to perform in Brazil more frequently, which may represent future opportunities to attend the group's shows in the country. This is direct coverage of one of the main international names at Rock in Rio 2026.

Critique: Between the diva and the divan, Demi Lovato makes fans happy

Demi Lovato performed at Rock in Rio as one of the main acts on the Mundo stage, promoting her new double album "It's not that deep," which marks a transition from the furious rock of her previous work to dance pop. The critique highlights that the artist took the stage with a pop diva posture, accompanied by dancers, sensualizing to songs like "Fast" and "Kiss," and managed to mobilize her fandom, who followed along with phones in hand. The presentation alternated between more energetic moments and confessional numbers, such as "Heart attack," a style for which Lovato is known.
