The Coala Festival Portugal, scheduled for the end of May, will see a change in its lineup as renowned Brazilian singer Maria Bethânia has withdrawn from her performance. The reason for her absence has not been disclosed. In a swift announcement, her brother confirmed that iconic artist Caetano Veloso will replace her as one of the main attractions of the festival.

This change comes as the festival is set to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Brazilian music and provide a platform for both established and emerging artists. Caetano Veloso, a celebrated figure in Brazilian music, brings with him a wealth of experience and a dedicated fan base, ensuring that the event maintains its appeal to attendees.

The Coala Festival is known for its vibrant atmosphere and eclectic lineup, and the inclusion of Veloso is expected to excite fans of Brazilian music. As tickets are already on sale, the festival organizers hope that this lineup change will attract even more visitors and highlight the dynamic nature of Brazilian cultural events, though it does leave questions about the circumstances surrounding Bethânia's withdrawal from the festival.
