A week of open Air Parties announced for the Rio Carnival in Brazil with BOMA

by

https://www.instagram.com/weare_boma/

The week long series of events feature the likes of Jamie Jones, Black Coffee, Mochakk, ARTBAT, CamelPhat, Carlita, LP Giobbi, Vintage Culture and more…

TICKETS

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.

Tickets

On February 14, Black Coffee returns to BOMA to lead a night dedicated to afro-house, groove and rhythmic sophistication. 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.

Tickets

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.

Tickets

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.

Tickets

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.

Tickets

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.

Tickets

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.

We are BOMA.

The Pine Stage – the relentless soul of UNUM, where the music never stops.

The Beach Stage – sound meets sea in a seamless sunrise-to-sunset flow.

The Main Stage – the beating heart of the night, where every drop hits deeper.

Across five days and five nights of continuous music, UNUM unites artists and fans from around the world in a celebration of pure underground culture — an experience that continues to redefine what a festival can be.

2026 Innovation – After Party in a Unique Panoramic Location

One of the most special new features of UNUM Festival 2026 will be a night dedicated to a breathtaking panoramic location, where the sea, sky, and music unite in an experience that goes beyond imagination.

After 35 years at the forefront of global club culture, Ministry of Sound is readying a new chapter that will reshape the clubbing experience, with major plans to reinvent the look and feel of the club from January 2026.

Heading up the bill are heavyweight artists whose sounds have defined generations and shaped the rhythm of London nightlife. From house legends Ron Trent, Joe Claussell and Tony Humphries to global powerhouses Pete Tong, Kölsch, Darius Syrossian, Eats Everything and more, reflecting the club’s enduring influence on the city’s musical identity and sonic legacy, which continues to be the blueprint for club culture across the globe.

Launched with Louder, it kicks off on Friday 30th January with a headline set from afro-house artist &Friends. Building on the club’s cross-genre ethos, Blink forms part of a 2026 programme that shines a light on emerging talent and brings the world’s standout artists to London’s floors.

“Everyone at Ministry of Sound is incredibly proud of what we’ve built over the last 35 years, the nights, the artists, the energy that has defined London’s sound. But we’re also thinking ahead, about what the club could become over the next 30 years. Next year marks the start of that chapter.” – Matt Long, Club Director. 

The anniversary kicks off in January with Carnival of Sound on Friday 9, followed by celebrating 23 Years of Select Radio on Saturday 10. Mas Que Nada brings house and disco-infused energy on Saturday 17, while Sound of Garage revisits UKG classics on Friday 23. The month closes with two standout headline nights: &friends on Saturday 30 January, and a landmark back-to-back set from Pete Tong and Kölsch on Saturday 31, supported by Lauren Lo Sung and Jansons.

February continues the momentum with Hard Times hosting a rare daytime session on Saturday 7, featuring house pioneers Ron Trent, Joe Claussell and Tony Humphries. Later on in the month, URGE, Siesta, La Discothèque (celebrating 10 years), Smoove and Room Service bring a mix of underground and genre-spanning sounds, while Konstantin Sibold takes to the decks on Friday 20 February.

March rounds out the opening season with the Latin energy of BRESH on Saturday 7, global big-room star KSHMR on Friday 13, and the technicolour rhythms of Zamna Soundsystem on Friday 20. The month closes with Mak10 + Friends on Saturday 28, a showcase of grime, UKG, and UK funky celebrating the club’s underground spirit.

Terminal V Festival
18 – 19 April 2026
The Royal Highland Centre + Showground, Edinburgh

Tickets go back on sale Thursday 4th December at 9am: https://terminalv.co.uk/festival

To join the waitlist go to Skiddle and hit remind me:https://www.skiddle.com/festivals/terminal-v-festival/

Following a seismic Phase One reveal, Terminal V now announces another electric shock wave with Phase Two of its 2026 lineup featuring more techno heavyweights, future disruptors and cutting-edge artists. Returning to the Royal Highland Centre & Showground on 18 – 19 April 2026, next year’s edition, with six stages, 100+ artists and 40000 visitors, will be the most powerful in the festival’s already rich history. Tickets are on sale from Thursday 4th December at 9am.

Phase Two introduces another expansive list of artists across the spectrum of techno, industrial, rave and contemporary club sounds, with each bringing their own energy to Terminal V’s continually evolving sound. 

Bringing together some of the most exciting names in contemporary club culture, the Phase Two lineup spans heavyweight techno innovators, fast-rising talents and boundary-pushing collaboration. Leading the charge is a serious selection of B2Bs including a hybrid sound rooted in modern rave, steppy percussion and hard-edged groove from Ben Techy x Luciid, a heavyweight meeting of Clouds x Tommy Holohan, bass-driven club and techno momentum from Dart x Kyle Starkey, distinct yet complementary worlds of hard-edged rhythm from DJ Gigola x Øtta, Benwal x Helena Lauwaert plus SIM0NE x SPFDJ and sets from BYORN, Emilija, I Hate Models, Nicolas Julian, Pegassi, Santøs, Alex Farell, Lola Cerise, Fumi and Will Atkinson. This collective of artists represents a broad sweep of the sounds shaping Europe’s dancefloors right now – high-velocity techno, modern rave, trance-leaning power, industrial pressure and cutting-edge club futurism. 

This latest announcement builds directly on the momentum of Phase One, which introduced a razor-sharp cross-section of global techno from Detroit icon Robert Hood to the UK debut of Sara Landry’s ETERNALISM, to breakout stars such as Ben Hemsley alongside Mall Grab, Klangkuenstler, East End Dubs, Clara Cuvé, Somewhen, Patrick Mason, Anetha and more. A third lineup announcement will arrive early next year and round off the biggest Terminal V bill to date with more than 100 artists set to feature. 

Alongside the artist reveal, Terminal V also confirms a landmark £1 million investment into site development and production upgrades for 2026. Following feedback, this is a transformative step designed to elevate every aspect of the festival experience. These improvements will roll out across all stages, facilities and audience areas and underpin Terminal V’s continued rise as one of Europe’s leading large-scale electronic music festivals. 

The changes include every stage being fully upgraded and redesigned, new PA systems and advanced speaker setups for a radically improved sound experience and collaborations with a leading global sound partner to deliver the most precise Terminal V audio yet. There will also be a welcome return of the beloved Area V stage in its original format, plus five additional, newly developed stages for deeper immersion and scale as well as brand-new chillout zones and expanded indoor and outdoor seating. 

There will also be a significantly widened food offering with options for all budgets plus vegan and dietary-friendly vendors, double the number of toilets with upgraded cleaning teams operating continuously, the return of festival lockers, large-format venue maps and improved directional signage across all major routes, twice as many digital display towers providing live schedule updates and festival announcements, a full lighting review, enhanced walkway illumination for safer movement day and night and a redesigned VIP environment with capped capacity, upgraded viewing areas, faster service points and exclusive facilities for a next-level premium experience.

The 2026 site will be fully enclosed with reinforced perimeter fencing and newly installed overhanging SteelShield barriers. This major security upgrade eradicates fence-jumping and ensures a safer, fully protected festival environment for everyone.

Consistently ranked among DJ Mag’s Best Festivals in the World, Terminal V continues to evolve at a pace matched only by the scene itself, which is why 40,000 people from all over the world travel in numbers to the festival.

With two phases now revealed and one more still to come, the 2026 edition of Terminal V is set to be very special and unlike anything anyone has ever experienced before.
