The move signals Skol’s return to São Paulo’s Carnival and bets on an unusual street-party formula: a global EDM star leading the truck while Brazil’s most-streamed names keep the sing-along momentum rolling.

Bloco Skol brings a global headliner to Consolação

A key highlight is Harris’ first-ever performance on a trio elétrico. Known for tracks such as “Summer”, “One Kiss” and “Feel So Close”, he has amassed billions of streams and is described as the second most-listened DJ on the planet.

Skol positions the open-to-the-public set as a gift to Carnival-goers and a statement about the brand’s comeback in the city’s street festivities, anchored by its “rounder” fun identity.

Nattan, Xand Avião, Zé Vaqueiro and Felipe Amorim join the truck

On the Brazilian side, the lineup taps directly into what is booming nationwide. Nattan, with more than 15.7 million monthly listeners, shares the spotlight with Xand Avião, a forró powerhouse for over two decades.

Zé Vaqueiro adds piseiro heat, while Felipe Amorim arrives after recently reaching No. 1 on Spotify Brazil—fuel for a set designed to feel both ultra-current and unmistakably street-Carnival.

“Skol has always stood for fun and innovation. Bringing national and global icons to the heart of São Paulo is our way of proving street Carnival can still surprise,” says Felipe Cerchiari, Skol’s marketing director.

Cerchiari adds that the goal is to revive Carnival’s essence with a pure entertainment delivery, aiming to make the brand’s return memorable for millions.

VYBBE partnership highlights Brazil’s musical mix

The Brazilian bookings are part of a partnership with VYBBE, a music platform that represents multiple genres, regions and audiences. The idea is to frame the block as a snapshot of Brazil’s popular sound—festive, diverse and deeply tied to street culture.

In short, Skol is blending Calvin Harris’ global pull with local chart power to turn Consolação into one of the most talked-about stops of São Paulo’s Carnival.
