the swedish star brings her Midnight Sun album to the Sunset Stage
Rock in Rio 2026 has been the center of attention since the confirmation of Zara Larsson, who headlines the Sunset Stage this Sunday, the 13th, at 10:55 PM. The Swedish artist, who previously performed at the festival in 2024, returns to Brazil with her world tour, using her album Midnight Sun as both the starting point and the grand finale of the show.
What changes in your wallet when Zara arrives in Rio
Zara Larsson, 28, brings her phase of musical reinvention to the festival, marked by the 2025 release of her album Midnight Sun, which topped the charts in Sweden and received critical acclaim internationally. The title track became a massive hit and will be both the opening and closing song of her repertoire at the festival.
How the setlist was built
The likely setlist, based on previous shows like Electric Picnic 2026, opens and closes with “Midnight Sun”. The singer will also perform other career hits such as “Lush Life” and “Never Forget You”, alongside newer tracks from her remix album Midnight Sun: Girls Trip (2026).
The Brazilian vibe on stage
In 2024, Zara already demonstrated her affinity with Brazilian rhythm, dancing funk alongside Dennis on the World Stage. At Rock in Rio 2026, the singer continues to explore local culture, incorporating choreography and costumes that reflect the festival's energy.
Fan reaction and stage visuals
Zara Larsson's fans, such as filmmaker Gabriela Soares, drew inspiration from the singer's looks, wearing vibrant colors and glittery makeup. Zara's presence at the festival also contrasted with the darker aesthetics of Twenty One Pilots fans, who closed out the event on the World Stage.
What to expect from the Sunset Stage show
With a stage that combines pop and dance music, Zara Larsson promises choreography, costume changes, and a powerful voice that shines in open-air spaces. The show will be an experience blending international sound with Brazilian vibes, closing Rock in Rio 2026 with energy and innovation.
