During Carnival, Rio de Janeiro has always been a global magnet. In 2026, BOMA turns that gravitational force into a new epicenter for electronic music culture.

The Brazilian cultural platform announces its most ambitious Carnival program to date, returning to Rio de Janeiro with six nights of curated experiences at the Museu do Amanhã — the most visited museum in Latin America and one of the most iconic architectural landmarks in the world.

Designed by Santiago Calatrava and set against Guanabara Bay, the museum once again becomes more than a venue. It becomes a symbol: a meeting point between Brazil’s ancestral celebration of freedom and the future-facing language of global electronic music.

Born from the desire to create the experience its founders wanted to live, BOMA — Born Of Music Addiction — has evolved from a party into a cultural platform operating at the intersection of sound, art, fashion and contemporary behavior. Its approach goes beyond line-ups. It’s about how music occupies space, how people move together, and how collective memory is built on the dancefloor.

Guided by four pillars — outstanding experience, desirable line-up, loyal community and cultural tastemaking — BOMA has established itself as one of the most respected boutique platforms in Brazil, occupying architecturally and culturally significant locations and curating experiences where sound, space and identity are inseparable.

Carnival is where this vision reaches its full scale.

The journey begins on February 13, with Jamie Jones opening the week alongside Adam Ten b2b Mita Gami, Miguelle & Tons and GIU. The night sets the tone for what follows: a meeting point between global house culture and BOMA’s signature sense of flow, progression and collective energy.

Joined by Carlita, Ahmed Spins, Bhaskar, Jackson, Malive and Unfazed, the evening highlights the genre’s deep roots and contemporary evolution, echoing the global pulse of dance music today.

February 16 brings together Mochakk and Dennis Cruz, with a special Bob Moses (club set) performance, plus OsGemeos and Halfcab. It’s one of the most anticipated line-ups of the season — a dialogue between generations, where new-school energy meets old-school sensibility inside one of the most striking spaces in the city.

On February 17, the Museu do Amanhã is taken over by ARTBAT and CamelPhat, joined by special guest LP Giobbi, alongside Departamento and Tato. The night is built around powerful, melodic and cinematic mainstage sounds, turning the museum into a widescreen dancefloor framed by architecture and light.

The celebration peaks on February 20 with Vintage Culture, accompanied by WhoMadeWho (hybrid DJ set), Omri, Eli Iwasa and Doozie. Known as “Champions Friday”, the date coincides with the announcement of the winning samba school of Rio’s parades, making it one of the most emotionally charged moments of Carnival — where Brazil’s global electronic voice meets its most iconic cultural ritual.

The journey closes on February 21 with a collaboration with Dawn Patrol, featuring hosts Maz and Antdot, inviting special guest Kölsch, alongside Riascode and Bakka. Guiding the crowd into sunrise, the final chapter unfolds as one of BOMA’s most celebrated rituals — a moment of release, connection and collective reset.

BOMA’s presence in Rio during Carnival is now a tradition. Over the years, the platform has transformed its city editions into a cultural landmark, attracting audiences from Brazil and abroad while blending music, design, artistic interventions and sensorial experiences.

What began as a platform driven by creativity and community has evolved into one of the defining forces of contemporary Carnival, proving that electronic music has a central place in the country’s most important cultural moment.

In 2026, BOMA elevates this legacy with its most ambitious programming yet, reaffirming its role as a leading creative voice in Brazil’s electronic scene — and as a cultural bridge between local identity and global influence.
