Lucy Alves joins João Pessoa’s 2026 Carnival lineup

Lucy Alves is confirmed for João Pessoa’s 2026 Carnival, performing on February 6 at Parque Sólon de Lucena alongside Daniela Mercury.

Fresh off a defining milestone—recording her first solo DVD on the sands of Tambaú—Lucy returns to Paraíba’s capital at one of the city’s most anticipated times of year. Her spot on the official bill strengthens the bond she has built with local audiences and the broader Northeast scene.

João Pessoa’s 2026 Carnival kicks off on February 6 with major Brazilian acts. That opening night places Lucy on the same program as Daniela Mercury and Priscila Senna, alongside performances that spotlight popular traditions, including a culture group and an orchestra.

The street-carnival appearance comes during a period of strong visibility for the artist, who has been expanding her live presence while deepening her connection with Northeastern fans. It also underscores her current position: an artist who bridges contemporary pop appeal with regional roots.

Opening night: February 6 street party

The kickoff happens on Friday, February 6, at Parque Sólon de Lucena, with programming running deep into the night. Beyond the main stage, the schedule includes street blocks in the Historic Center, featuring local artists, orchestras, and culture-focused presentations.
