Carnatal 2025 Closes in Natal With Ivete Sangalo Leading Finale as 2026 Dates Are Set

National live coverage captured packed routes across three days in a showcase of the axé trio tradition.

Overview

  • The three-day micareta concluded on December 7 at Arena das Dunas after a lineup anchored by Léo Santana, Claudia Leitte, Bell Marques and other stars of axé and forró.
  • Ivete Sangalo opened the finale commanding the Euforia block before Bell Marques and local favorite Grafith completed the trios, with late-night camarote sets by Durval Lelys, Simone Mendes and Rafa & Pipo.
  • Ivete’s appearance marked her first performance on a trio elétrico since announcing her separation in late November, and she kept the spotlight on the setlist rather than personal remarks.
  • Claudia Leitte’s start on December 6 was delayed by roughly 90 minutes due to a technical issue with the truck-stage, after which she performed a high-energy show.
  • Organizers announced Carnatal 2026 for December 4–6 with pre-sales underway, and g1/Inter TV broadcast the 2025 edition live to 28 Globo-affiliated stations.
