Seven shows, four states, 70,000 fans, and a special set with Dilsinho at Rio’s iconic Sambadrome: Brazil’s top pagode group just had its biggest Carnival yet.
Brazilian pagode powerhouse Grupo Menos é Mais turned Carnival 2026 into a historic milestone. Over the course of the festivities, the quartet covered more than 3,000 kilometers across the country, delivering seven official shows in four states — including Salvador, São Paulo, Santa Rita do Sapucaí, Belo Horizonte, and Rio de Janeiro — with a combined audience of over 70,000 people.
From electric floats to exclusive stages
The group performed across every possible format — electric floats, main stages, and private events — showcasing the range and staying power of pagode in Brazil’s biggest popular celebration. Each show featured a setlist packed with fan favorites and the electric stage presence that has become the group’s trademark.
The logistics behind the run were no small feat. The group relied on a mix of air and ground travel to move between cities and Carnival hubs in a matter of days, underlining the scale of their moment in Brazilian music.
A special night with Dilsinho for the CBF
Beyond their headline commitments, Menos é Mais also joined Dilsinho for a special performance at the CBF’s Camarote Brasil de Futebol at the Sambadrome in Rio. The exclusive event brought together athletes, public figures, and VIP guests for a set that blended pagode, football culture, and Brazilian spirit.
With charisma, a beloved catalog, and an infectious stage presence, Menos é Mais closes Carnival with impressive numbers, thousands of miles behind them, and the certainty that pagode has never been stronger across every corner of Brazil.
What’s next
With Carnival wrapped and the year just getting started, Grupo Menos é Mais is already hinting at major announcements ahead. Fans can look forward to new shows, releases, and the same energy that made this Carnival a landmark chapter in the group’s story.
