Boa Nova Festival has unveiled its full lineup ahead of its first edition in London. The event will take place at Leyton Jubilee Park on Friday, May 22nd, 2026.
Presented by The Columbo Group, the festival brings together a lineup made up entirely of Brazilian artists, reflecting the diversity of the country’s contemporary music scene. Spread across two stages, the program combines live performances and dance-focused sets.
Headliners João Gomes, Liniker, and Mari Froes top the bill, joined by A Música De Tim Maia, D. Vyzor, and a special guest yet to be announced. A second stage, curated in partnership with Baile Funk Culture, will host Caio Prince, Th4ys, Bronka, DJ Patife, and Mango and Ginger, focusing on electronic and club-driven sounds.
Beyond the music, the festival will feature cultural activations including live samba drumming, Samba de Malandro performances, carnival-inspired shows, Brazilian Axé, and Brazilian funk. Food vendors such as Aroma Grill and Broll Grill will offer traditional Brazilian churrasco, adding a culinary element to the experience.
“After years of sold-out shows at the Jazz Cafe for London’s Brazilian community, we’re excited to bring our most ambitious lineup yet to an outdoor celebration of Brazilian music this May Bank Holiday,” said organisers.
