Rock In Rio Lisbon continues to build towards its anticipated 11th edition with a string of new names announced across its two weekends, adding yet more history to a festival that sits as a true phenomenon responsible for shaping the modern festival landscape into what it is today.

Basked in glorious Lisbon sunshine and laying down a marker for Summer 2026, the likes of Charlie Puth, Shaggy and Audrey Nuna are joining a carefully curated lineup already boasting the biggest names in modern music – spanning across generations and global chart success for landmark historic moments that can only happen at Rock In Rio Lisbon. More than just a festival party but a true iconic chapter, these new additions cement its 2026 edition as its biggest and boldest to date.

“We brought together artists from different styles, all of them hugely successful with pop audiences and with a cross-generational appeal to the whole family, because we truly believe that diversity is the strength of our festival. The musical universes of Charlie Puth, ALOK, Audrey Nuna, Nena and Maninho intersect in a line-up carefully designed to translate what Rock in Rio Lisboa represents: a space where styles, cultures and generations meet. This is a bill created to reach everyone, move audiences, surprise them and create memories that last forever,” comments Roberta Medina, Executive Vice President of Rock in Rio.

Fresh from a huge performance of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ at this year’s Super Bowl, Charlie Puth brings his pop genius to Rock In Rio Lisbon 2026. Acclaimed as one of this generation’s defining pop songwriters and producers, Charlie has amassed over 35 billion streams, 9 multi-platinum singles, 4 GRAMMY nominations, Billboard Music Awards and a Golden Globe nomination amongst many other accolades. With an ability to create immediate and unstoppable hits (such as ‘See You Again’, ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’, ‘Attention’ and ‘Light Switch’ amongst many others), Charlie Puth returns to Rock In Rio Lisbon following the release of his anticipated new album ‘Whatever’s Clever!’ for a show that’s sure to unite the entirety of the festival on June 20th.

Breaking down boundaries with club and chart anthems, his hit selection is stacked – whether it’s ‘It Wasn’t Me’, ‘Angel’ or ‘Boombastic’ amongst many others. With a truly distinctive voice, he’ll be leading a celebration that captures what makes Rock In Rio Lisbon so universal when he takes to the stage in 2026. Bringing together the biggest voices in pop culture right now, Audrey Nuna will follow a breakthrough 12 months by appearing at Rock In Rio Lisbon this summer – following the global success of ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ which saw Audrey voice ‘Mira’ and sit as a part of the chart-smashing supergroup HUNTR/X. Scooping Golden Globes and becoming an absolute phenomenon with some of the biggest songs of the entire year, Audrey brings that and her essential genre-twisting catalogue to the festival this summer, performing on June 20th as a part of her first ever international concerts.

Also revealed today for Rock In Rio Lisbon 2026 is Brazilian electronic superstar ALOK, returning to the festival 10 years on from his debut to close the Music Valley Stage on June 20th. A titan in Electronic music who has taken his sound from Brazil to the world, his list of collaborators sits as a who’s who in modern pop culture – including Dua Lipa, The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Zara Larsson, Jason Derulo and many more. One of the hardest working DJs in the game, he brings his ‘Keep Art Human’ show to the festival this year – promising an audio-visual spectacle that guides music fans through a journey that celebrates the here and now. Two of Portugal’s most exciting talents have also been confirmed for Rock In Rio Lisbon 2026 today, with Nena bringing her critically acclaimed career to date to Lisbon for a moment that’s sure to celebrate a local superstar ascending to the very top.
