Na Praia Festival 2026 Kicks Off Ticket Sales as Anitta Teases New Album

Ticket sales officially opened on April 14 for the much-anticipated Na Praia Festival 2026, which will run from June 13 through September in Brasília. This year's festival, themed around Brazil after several years of international inspirations, promises a lineup featuring renowned Brazilian artists such as Caetano Veloso, Marisa Monte, Thiaguinho, Emicida, João Gomes, and MC Hariel. The event will take place at Na Praia Parque in the Setor de Clubes Sul, with special programming including live shows and World Cup match broadcasts, as part of its schedule. A notable change this year is that the main concert arena will no longer have sand, although other areas will maintain the beach ambiance with a lake, sand, and spaces for enjoying the sunny capital environment.

In parallel with this major festival announcement, Brazilian superstar Anitta unveiled a teaser for her upcoming eighth studio album, "Equilibrivm," on April 14 via her social media channels. Scheduled for release on April 16, the album features collaborations with international and local stars such as Shakira, Liniker, Marina Sena, Ebony, and producer Papatinho. The teaser emphasizes themes of balance and connection to the Earth, with Anitta stating, "Slow down. Balance is the middle path. Goodbye is just for excess. We are all children of the same mother earth. Pay attention to your journey and be light on the journey of others."

Anitta recently made history as the first Brazilian artist to perform on "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) on April 11, showcasing her song "Choka Choka" alongside Shakira and a Spanish version of "Várias Queixas." These simultaneous entertainment highlights underscore Brazil's vibrant cultural scene in 2026, marked by significant music releases and large-scale festivals engaging both national pride and international appeal.
