Headliner · Monday · Palco Mundo

Elton John

The Rocket Man himself — half a century of piano spectacle and the deepest pop songbook alive.

popclassic-rock

Headliner · Friday · Palco Mundo

Foo Fighters

Thirty years of Dave Grohl turning grief and volume into the most reliably cathartic rock show going — a hits catalog three hours deep, played like it's still a club gig.

Headliner · Saturday · Palco Mundo

Maroon 5

Two decades of inescapable radio — Songs About Jane craft under a stadium-pop machine.

Headliner · Friday · Palco Mundo

Stray Kids

K-pop's most self-produced group — noisy, maximalist records written and arranged largely in-house, stadium-scale chaos by design.

Alok

Brazil's biggest electronic export and a central figure of the Brazilian bass sound — deep, slinky low end scaled up to global-main-stage size.

Bad Omens

Noah Sebastian's project drifted from metalcore toward something moodier and far more electronic, and got much bigger for it — 'Just Pretend' made them the scene's biggest crossover story.

Bring Me The Horizon

Playing debut Count Your Blessings front to back for its 20th — a return to the feral deathcore they spent the next two decades outgrowing.

Demi Lovato

A powerhouse voice that survived the Disney machine — now happiest belting pop-rock at full throttle.

J Balvin

Medellín's global ambassador — neon-colored reggaeton that took Latin pop worldwide without translating a word.

Top billing · Friday · Palco Sunset

Jamiroquai

Space-cowboy funk in a feathered headdress — 'Virtual Insanity' grooves that never stopped moving.

funkacid-jazz

Top billing · Monday · Palco Mundo

Jon Batiste

New Orleans piano polymath who moves between jazz standards, gospel, and pop without changing his grin — Grammy-stacked joy as a performance style.

jazzsoul

Top billing · Monday · Palco Sunset

Laufey

A classically trained cellist writing standards-shaped songs for people who found jazz through her — warm, wry, and quietly virtuosic.

Top billing · Saturday · Palco Mundo

Machine Gun Kelly

Cleveland's rap-to-pop-punk convert — tabloid-famous, genre-fluid, and louder about his feelings than anyone in the arena.

pop-punkhip-hop/rap

Top billing · Saturday · Palco Sunset

Mumford & Sons

Banjo-driven crescendos that defined a decade of festival folk, now delivered with the electric guitars left plugged in — the singalongs never optional.

Top billing · Friday · Palco Mundo

Rise Against

Chicago's melodic-hardcore conscience — two decades of fists-up anthems delivered with undimmed conviction, 'Savior' still closing rooms.

Sepultura

Brazil's metal export to the world — Roots-era tribal thrash that reshaped heavy music's map.

Top billing · Friday · Palco Mundo

The Hives

Sweden's best-dressed rock band — matching suits, maximum arrogance, and the tightest garage-punk show on earth.

Hot Milk

Manchester co-fronted pop-punk with a sneer inherited directly from Britpop — dual vocals, big choruses, bigger attitude.

Luísa Sonza

A Brazilian pop star who turned a very public personal life into some of the country's sharpest, most confrontational recent pop.

Nova Twins

London duo running bass through every pedal ever made — grime swagger welded to punk riffs, a two-woman wall of sound.
