Marcelo Nova, from Camisa de Vênus, on stage with Chorão and Charlie Brown Jr. at João Rock 2008 in Ribeirão Preto, SP João Rock Collection The participation of the band Charlie Brown Jr. is a classic at João Rock, and everyone knows it. The festival in Ribeirão Preto (SP) became a kind of family stage for the group that made its first performance in 2006. Each year, the catharsis of the performance and the emotion of the public were accurate. In the 2008 edition, a recording of Chorão (1970-2013) on stage with Marcelo Nova, who was also one of the main attractions that year, marked the memories of João Rock regulars. The vocalists had some performances at different moments in their career, such as the song 'Hoje', a track released in 2003 on one of the most emblematic albums at the beginning of the century, 'Acústico MTV Charlie Brown Jr.'. In 2026, the partnership will be renewed in Ribeirão Preto, at the Permanent Exhibition Park. At the invitation of the "Charlie Brown Jr. Acústico" project, Marcelo Nova returns to share the stage with the band at João Rock. ?Click here to follow the g1 Ribeirão e Franca channel on WhatsApp Review shows on the João Rock 2025 stage: João Rock Stage - João Rock 2025 in Ribeirão Preto The show in Ribeirão Preto is part of the acoustic tour that debuted in May this year and celebrates the legacy of the Santos group.
