The Boa Nova Festival has officially revealed its full line-up for its highly anticipated London debut, scheduled for Friday, 22 May 2026, at Leyton Jubilee Park. This inaugural event marks a significant milestone for the city's cultural scene, featuring an exclusive bill of Brazilian artists across two dedicated stages. 

Pioneering stars João Gomes, Liniker, and Mari Froes are set to headline, representing a unique gathering of contemporary talent on a single London stage. In partnership with Baile Funk Culture, a second stage will focus on high-energy electronic rhythms, featuring performers such as DJ Patife and Caio Prince.

Beyond the music, the festival aims to recreate a carnival atmosphere through live samba drumming, axé performances, and immersive cultural activities. Culinary offerings will be equally authentic, with vendors like Aroma Grill providing traditional Brazilian churrasco and other tasty grub.

Tickets for the festival are on sale already - you can book yours here.
