Overview
- Officials confirmed the Copacabana main-stage trio of Gilberto Gil, João Gomes and Alok, marking João Gomes’s first appearance at the beachfront New Year’s celebration.
- The pyrotechnic show will deploy 19 barges for the first time, nearly doubling recent editions, with a 12-minute, lower-noise display set to a custom soundtrack.
- Alok is slated to take the stage right after the fireworks with a drone-supported electronic set.
- Riotur will add two more stages on the beach for samba and gospel performances, with Beija-Flor’s drum corps set to close the night.
- City plans include concert stages in ten other neighborhoods, fireworks at Flamengo, and ten private display points in Barra and Recreio, while the Copacabana main stage assembly begins on December 5.
