BOMA 2026: Epic Series Returns to Rio for Six Nights During The Carnival
BOMA 2026 has unveiled its most ambitious Carnival programme to date, confirming a six-night takeover of Rio de Janeiro’s Museu do Amanhã during Carnival, with a line-up that spans some of the most influential names in global electronic music.
Running from February 13 to 21, the week-long series Bomba 2026 positions the Brazilian platform at the centre of Carnival’s international pull, reframing the city’s most famous cultural moment through a contemporary electronic lens. Jamie Jones, Black Coffee, Mochakk, ARTBAT, CamelPhat, Vintage Culture, Carlita, LP Giobbi, Kölsch and more will perform across the programme, turning one of Latin America’s most visited museums into a focal point for dance music culture.
Set on Guanabara Bay and designed by Santiago Calatrava, the Museu do Amanhã once again becomes more than a backdrop. For BOMA 2026, it functions as a symbolic intersection between Brazil’s historic expressions of freedom and the future-facing language of electronic music, architecture and collective experience.
Founded as Born Of Music Addiction, BOMA 2026 has grown from a party concept into a multidisciplinary cultural platform operating across music, art, fashion and contemporary behaviour. Its curatorial philosophy prioritises how music occupies space and how shared experiences are constructed, rather than focusing solely on headline acts. That approach, guided by pillars of experience, line-up, community and tastemaking, has helped establish BOMA as one of Brazil’s most respected boutique event platforms.
Boma 2026 represents the point where that vision expands to full scale. The programme opens on February 13 with Jamie Jones, joined by Adam Ten b2b Mita Gami, Miguelle & Tons and GIU, setting an early tone that bridges global house culture with BOMA’s emphasis on flow and collective energy.
On February 14, Black Coffee returns to the platform for a night centred on afro-house and groove, alongside Carlita, Ahmed Spins, Bhaskar, Jackson, Malive and Unfazed. The line-up reflects the genre’s deep roots and its current global resonance.
February 16 pairs Mochakk with Dennis Cruz, alongside a Bob Moses club set, OsGemeos and Halfcab, bringing together new-generation momentum and established club sensibilities. The following night, February 17, shifts into melodic and cinematic territory with ARTBAT and CamelPhat, joined by LP Giobbi, Departamento and Tato, transforming the museum into a large-scale, immersive dancefloor.
The emotional peak arrives on February 20 with Vintage Culture, WhoMadeWho in a hybrid DJ set, Omri, Eli Iwasa and Doozie. Known as Champions Friday, the date coincides with the announcement of Rio’s winning samba school, aligning BOMA’s electronic programming with one of Carnival’s most symbolic moments.
The series concludes on February 21 with a collaboration with Dawn Patrol, featuring Maz and Antdot alongside special guest Kölsch, plus Riascode and Bakka. The sunrise finale marks one of BOMA 2026’s most established rituals, focused on release, connection and collective closure.
BOMA 2026 has become a fixture in Rio, drawing audiences from across Brazil and internationally while integrating music, design and artistic intervention into the city’s cultural calendar. What began as a community-driven platform has evolved into a defining force within contemporary Carnival, reinforcing electronic music’s place within Brazil’s most significant cultural celebration.
