Coala Festival continues on 13 September 2026 at the Memorial da América Latina in São Paulo. The twelfth edition of the Brazilian music festival builds on intergenerational encounters, featuring several anniversary moments in its Sunday programme.
Criolo celebrates the 15th anniversary of the album Nó na Orelha. The programme also includes João Gomes, Seu Jorge, Duquesa, as well as a joint performance by Luedji Luna and Fat Family. In the Simón Bolívar Auditórium, Tom Zé performs, celebrating his 90th birthday this year.
On the Saturday opening day, Maria Bethânia celebrated her six-decade career, while Emicida returned to the festival. One of the programming strengths is connecting historically significant Brazilian artists with younger generations under the same festival brand.
