Notable performers making their Brazilian debut include American artist Chappell Roan and Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi, while popular acts like Lorde and Sabrina Carpenter, who recently performed in the country, also feature prominently in the festival's schedule.

According to the 'Mapa dos Festivais: Panorama 2025' report, Brazil is set to host at least 366 music festivals throughout 2025, with a significant number—200—taking place in the Southeast region alone. The report outlines criteria for what constitutes a festival, including the requirement of at least five musical acts, as well as adequate facilities such as food courts, bathrooms, medical assistance, and security. This indicates a thriving festival culture within the country’s diverse musical landscape.

The growing number of niche festivals highlights an expanding interest in various musical genres and formats. The mixture of rock, electronic, and sertanejo genres at Lollapalooza reflects the various tastes of Brazilian audiences and the vibrant cultural scene in São Paulo. As the festival season unfolds, it sets the stage for an exciting year in Brazilian music, showcasing both established and emerging talent across the country.
