Brazil’s Rio Preto Country Bulls 2026 drops full lineup featuring Gusttavo Lima, Zezé Di Camargo, and Wesley Safadão. Tickets on sale March 12.
One of Brazil’s biggest country festivals returns for its 28th edition
The Rio Preto Country Bulls (RCB) 2026 has officially announced the full lineup for its 28th edition, set to take place from July 8 to 12 at the Alberto Bertelli Lucatto Exhibition Center in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo. The festival is one of the most traditional sertanejo (Brazilian country) events in the country, drawing fans from across Brazil each year.
Tickets go on sale on March 12 (Thursday) at 10 a.m. local time, available at www.countrybulls.com.br and in person at Shopping Cidade Norte and RioPreto Shopping. The event complies with Brazilian half-price ticket legislation and will also offer charity tickets, with a portion of proceeds going to social and welfare organizations.
Night-by-night schedule
The festival kicks off on Wednesday, July 8 — a charity night benefiting the Hospital de Base. The evening will be historic: Traia Véia, widely regarded as one of Brazil’s most technically skilled sertanejo bands, will record their new audiovisual project live on the RCB stage.
On Thursday, July 9, fans can catch Edson & Hudson — who will also record tracks for their upcoming project during the show — and Wesley Safadão. Friday, July 10 features Zezé Di Camargo, Gustavo Mioto, and Natanzinho Lima. Saturday, July 11 brings headliners Gusttavo Lima and João Bosco & Vinícius. The closing night on Sunday, July 12 will be celebrated with Leonardo and Panda.
We designed a lineup that truly speaks to all audiences, across ages and profiles. Rio Preto Country Bulls has always had the ability to bring together nationally acclaimed artists — names that have become references and classics of sertanejo — while also making room for new acts carrying the music forward to the next generations. Our goal is to keep that connection between tradition and renewal, which is what sustains the event’s success over the years. — Paulo Emílio Marques, organizer of Rio Preto Country Bulls
Rodeo competitions and new venue layout
Beyond the concerts, the RCB preserves its roots with traditional bull riding competitions organized by the PBR (Professional Bull Riders), horse riding events by Equipe Rozeta, and lasso and barrel racing contests featuring top competitors from across Brazil.
For 2026, organizers have announced major changes to the venue’s structure, including updates to the layout, sections, and circulation areas. The goal is to improve comfort, visibility, and overall guest experience. Further details will be released in the coming weeks.
