Rock in Rio 2026 ticket sales and K‑pop night sellout
Entities: Venancio · Rock in Rio · Stray Kids · Rádio Mix FM · Zé Ricardo
Overview
Rock in Rio’s 2026 edition saw its ticket‑sale timeline shifted in early May, moving the general public launch from 26 May to 8 June, with a pre‑sale for club members and Itaú cardholders running 2–8 June. The pre‑sale sold out in under two hours, prompting the fastest‑ever ticket clearance for the festival. General sales opened on 8 June at 19:00 via Ticketmaster Brazil; within two hours tickets for the September 6 and 12 days were sold out, and by mid‑July the remaining September 11 K‑pop night tickets were also fully sold. Organisers noted on 13 July that a limited number of K‑pop night tickets remained, but by 16 July all had been sold, confirming strong demand.
The lineup, announced in late May, features headliners Foo Fighters, Elton John, Calvin Harris, Avenged Sevenfold, Maroon 5 and a dedicated K‑pop night on 11 September headlined by Stray Kids, supported by Hwasa, NEXZ, Jamiroquai and PJ Morton. New “Comfort Zone” tickets priced at R$ 1 950 were added, alongside standard full‑price (R$ 870) and half‑price (R$ 435) passes with a 15 % Itaú discount.
The Lisbon edition launched on 20 June, selling out its opening days and drawing 100 000 fans for a Katy Perry headliner, though later dates saw lower attendance and criticism. In August, a Venancio‑Rádio Mix FM promotion offered 30 ticket giveaways, and organisers announced hiring Korean translators to support Stray Kids.
