The Festival de Inverno Bahia has officially unveiled the complete artist roster for its landmark 20th edition, scheduled to take place from August 21 to 23, 2026. The event will be held at the Parque de Exposições Teopompo de Almeida in Vitória da Conquista, located in the southwest region of the state.
The latest announcement confirms a powerful lineup of Brazilian music icons. Headlining the festival will be the legendary Zé Ramalho, who will be making his debut on the festival's main stage. Fans can expect him to perform a setlist packed with his greatest hits, including classics like "Chão de Giz," "Frevo Mulher," "Admirável Gado Novo," "Táxi Lunar," and "Beira-Mar."
Joining him are other major names such as Bell Marques, Belo, Henry Freitas, and the dynamic Ludmilla. This diverse group of artists ensures a wide appeal, covering genres from axé and MPB to sertanejo and funk. The festival's production team, a collaboration between Bahia Eventos and Salvador Produções, is replicating the successful partnership they previously used for the Festival de Verão Salvador.
These new additions build upon an already stellar initial announcement made earlier in the week. The festival had previously confirmed the presence of sertanejo star Wesley Safadão and the popular trio Trio da Huanna. Furthermore, the lineup includes the project "Dominguinho," the iconic Maria Bethânia, and the charismatic Marcelo Falcão.
With this final wave of artist confirmations, the Festival de Inverno Bahia 2026 solidifies its position as one of the premier music events in the Brazilian calendar. The combination of legendary performers and contemporary stars promises an unforgettable experience for the thousands of attendees expected to converge on Vitória da Conquista this August.
