Carnival has always marked a defining moment in the calendar of the Brazilian promoter Surreal Park. It is the night when scale expands, curatorship deepens and artistic ambition reaches new heights. In 2026, that tradition intensifies once again.
On Sunday 15th February, from 9pm, Surreal Park presents a large-scale Carnival edition spanning three simultaneous stages across its monumental 135,000m² complex, the largest club in the world. The programme brings together global headliners, underground pioneers and scene-defining artists across a multi-dimensional electronic music journey.
Ritual, the largest stage in the complex, with capacity for over 10,000 people, forms the central axis of the night. At the forefront is Seth Troxler, returning to Surreal Park as a true underground icon. Known for his irreverent selections and unpredictable instincts, Troxler’s sets balance technical mastery with raw dancefloor energy, delivering moments that feel both spontaneous and timeless.
Making his long-awaited Surreal Park debut is Jamie Jones, one of the defining architects of modern House and Tech House. Founder of Hot Creations, Jones has shaped contemporary club aesthetics for more than a decade. His groove-driven precision and rare ability to command large-scale audiences make him a landmark addition to Carnival 2026.
Surreal Park’s own visionary founder Ratier returns as host and connective force for the evening. Celebrating 30 years behind the decks, Ratier remains a cornerstone of Brazil’s electronic music evolution.
Joining the Ritual lineup is Beltran, one of Brazil’s most internationally prominent artists. With releases across globally respected imprints, his crisp, driving sound continues to resonate on the world’s biggest stages.
Bells explores deeper emotional frequencies while maintaining high-impact dancefloor momentum.
The headline moment comes from Miss Monique, one of the most respected names in Melodic Techno and Progressive House. Celebrated for immersive, narrative-led sets and global reach through her Siona Records imprint and online platform, Miss Monique brings cinematic intensity and soaring dynamics to Carnival’s second arena.
Nomad takes on the most conceptual and introspective role of Carnival 2026, a space designed for extended storytelling and sonic exploration.
The standout performance arrives from A:RPIA:R, the collaborative project uniting Rhadoo, Raresh and Petre Inspirescu. Renowned for their hypnotic, nuanced and patiently unfolding performances, A:RPIA:R’s extended set finds its ideal setting within Nomad’s immersive environment.
Completing the lineup are Cesare vs Disorder and Botanic Soundsystem, reinforcing Nomad’s identity as a destination for deep discovery and sonic subtlety, powered by a pristine Funktion-One sound system.
Tickets are available here.
