The highly anticipated second weekend of the Ribeirão Rodeo Music 2026 festival is set to ignite Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, starting this Friday, May 8th. The event promises a powerful combination of top-tier musical performances and thrilling rodeo competitions, continuing the celebration at the Parque Permanente de Exposições.
The musical lineup for the weekend is stacked with major names in Brazilian sertanejo music. Friday night's stage will feature performances by Ana Castela, the iconic duo Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano, Léo Foguete, and Diego & Victor Hugo. The energy will carry into Saturday, May 9th, with a lineup including João Bosco & Vinicius, Nattan, the embaixador Gusttavo Lima, and Serestão do Zé. Gates open at 7:30 PM on both evenings, with the party expected to last well into the early hours of Sunday.
Beyond the concerts, the arena will be the center of intense rodeio action organized by the Liga Nacional de Rodeio (LNR). Bull riding competitions will feature top athletes from São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Pará. A major storyline to watch is the return of Juliano Silveira, the 2025 champion, who will be defending his title and aiming for a consecutive victory. The champion of this competition will not only claim the coveted belt buckle but will also secure a spot in the prestigious Festa do Peão de Barretos rodeio.
