Charlie Brown Jr. welcomes Negra Li, Marcelo Nova and more at João Rock 2026 The minutes of delay and the heavy legs of those who had already accumulated hours of uninterrupted marathon at João Rock 2026 were not enough to discourage the fans who were waiting for the band Charlie Brown Jr. When the first chords echoed, the crowd in Ribeirão Preto (SP) was transported straight to the beginning of the 2000s. The anxiety that dominated the track proved that more than two decades separating from the legendary Acústico MTV only increased the emotional and historical weight of the repertoire in the lives of different generations. It was early Sunday morning (2) when Marcão Britto and Thiago Castanho took to the João Rock Stage, leading a time machine-like celebration. "Are you happy? Because we are very happy", said Marcão Britto.

The nostalgia was so great that, even in the final stretch of the festival, the audience lost their sleep and cheered from the first to the last minute of the performance. The night was full of surprises and new features in the setlist. The audience was treated to the performance of "Vem Ser Minha", a song from the band's latest album that had never been played live until then. The height of the excitement came when the stage lights went out and thousands of fans turned on their cell phone flashlights, creating a starry sky on the track. Under this atmosphere, the verses of the classic "How everything must be" sounded, in a tribute to Chorão and Champignon. "This one's for our homies," declared the band.

There was also a surprise appearance by the singer of the band Detonautas, Tico Santa Cruz, who took the stage by surprise to share the vocals in an energetic version of "Samba Makossa". The spirit of roots rock still took over the festival when Marcelo Nova, leader of Camisa de Vênus, took over the microphone with the band to perform "Hoje". The sequence of hits gave no respite to the public. Historic tracks like "Só Por Uma Noite" and "Proibida Pra Mim" came to life in precise arrangements.
