: Located in the mountainous, European-style enclave of Campos do Jordão, performances take place at the open-air Cláudio Santoro Auditorium.
The "Queen of TecnoBrega" fused traditional Carimbó drums with modular synthesizers. This was the sleeper hit of Part 2. The dance tent was so packed that organizers had to open both side walls to the rain forest air.
When the first edition of the premiered, it redefined what a music festival could be. It wasn’t just about headliners or light shows; it was a symbiotic relationship between electronic music, ancestral healing, and the raw, untamed beauty of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Now, after months of anticipation, Part 2 has arrived—and it is, without a doubt, the best installment yet.
The festival route is a narrative in itself. The energy begins building weeks in advance with exclusive pre-festival rehearsals in Manaus, where the rhythm of the boi-bumbá drums vibrates through the city streets. However, the absolute "best" of Part 2 culminates in the three-day main event in Parintins (held June 26-28, 2026). Here, attendees don't just watch the legendary rivalry of the bois Caprichoso and Garantido; they participate. The second part of the festival focuses on intimate workshops where visitors learn the choreography and percussion behind these folklore giants, making the connection between art and ancestry tangible.
This year, Part 2 introduced a new "Roots Stage" hidden inside a cavern behind a waterfall. To get there, you had to wade through knee-deep water while listening to the echo of a berimbau. That level of immersion is why veterans are calling this the best spatial design of any Brazilian festival in 2025.
