SURREAL PARK CARNIVAL 2026: JAMIE JONES, SETH TROXLER, MISS MONIQUE, A:RPIA:R AND MORE UNITE ACROSS THREE STAGES

Staged at one of the world’s largest club complexes, Surreal Park’s 135,000m² Carnival edition brings together tens of thousands of party goers

Date: Sunday 15th February
Location: Camboriú, Santa Catarina, Brazil

Carnival has always marked a defining moment in the calendar of Surreal Park. It is the night when scale expands, curatorship deepens and artistic ambition reaches new heights. In 2026, that tradition intensifies once again.

On Sunday 15th February, from 9pm, Surreal Park presents a large-scale Carnival edition spanning three simultaneous stages across its monumental 135,000m² complex,  the largest club in the world. The programme brings together global headliners, underground pioneers and scene-defining artists across a multi-dimensional electronic music journey.

From House and Tech House to Melodic Techno, Progressive House and Romanian minimal, Carnival 2026 is constructed around hypnotic, long-form and immersive dancefloor experiences, allowing audiences to move freely between distinct sonic worlds.

Ritual: peak energy and global headliners

Ritual, the largest stage in the complex, with capacity for over 10,000 people, forms the central axis of the night.

At the forefront is Seth Troxler, returning to Surreal Park as a true underground icon. Known for his irreverent selections and unpredictable instincts, Troxler’s sets balance technical mastery with raw dancefloor energy, delivering moments that feel both spontaneous and timeless.

Making his long-awaited Surreal Park debut is Jamie Jones, one of the defining architects of modern House and Tech House. Founder of Hot Creations, Jones has shaped contemporary club aesthetics for more than a decade. His groove-driven precision and rare ability to command large-scale audiences make him a landmark addition to Carnival 2026.

Surreal Park’s own visionary founder Ratier returns as host and connective force for the evening. Celebrating 30 years behind the decks, Ratier remains a cornerstone of Brazil’s electronic music evolution.

Joining the Ritual lineup is Beltran, one of Brazil’s most internationally prominent artists. With releases across globally respected imprints, his crisp, driving sound continues to resonate on the world’s biggest stages.

Opening duties are handled by Bapp, setting the tone from the very first beat.

Bells: melodic power and emotional intensity


Bells explores deeper emotional frequencies while maintaining high-impact dancefloor momentum.

The headline moment comes from Miss Monique, one of the most respected names in Melodic Techno and Progressive House. Celebrated for immersive, narrative-led sets and global reach through her Siona Records imprint and online platform, Miss Monique brings cinematic intensity and soaring dynamics to Carnival’s second arena.

She is joined by Adria, DJ Murphy, Ray and Nezello, creating a carefully structured energy arc that balances atmosphere, progression and sustained impact throughout the night.

Nomad: long form immersion and deep listening

Nomad takes on the most conceptual and introspective role of Carnival 2026, a space designed for extended storytelling and sonic exploration.

The standout performance arrives from A:RPIA:R, the collaborative project uniting Rhadoo, Raresh and Petre Inspirescu. Renowned for their hypnotic, nuanced and patiently unfolding performances, A:RPIA:R’s extended set finds its ideal setting within Nomad’s immersive environment.

Completing the lineup are Cesare vs Disorder and Botanic Soundsystem, reinforcing Nomad’s identity as a destination for deep discovery and sonic subtlety, powered by a pristine Funktion-One sound system.

NO ART OPEN AIR BRINGS A NEW FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE TO MANCHESTER

Curated by acclaimed Dutch duo ANOTR, No Art Manchester Open Air takes over the city on Saturday 30th May for their biggest UK open-air show to date!

After years of anticipation, the full No Art experience is finally debuting in the UK this spring with the launch of No Art Manchester Open Air on Saturday 30 May, from 3pm–11pm. Curated by tastemaking Amsterdam duo ANOTR, this event marks the debut of the globally respected No Art concept in Greater Manchester and promises to be their largest UK open-air show yet. With the full location and lineup revealed in the coming weeks,

 

Dutch duo ANOTR are one of electronic music’s most influential acts. With global hits including 'Relax My Eyes' surpassing 200 million streams, and 'How You Feel', they have cemented their international impact exploring new musical territories, blending house with disco, soul, funk, and jazz influences.

 

Their No Art brand has earned a reputation for delivering carefully curated music and immersive art experiences at unexpected venues and locations across Barcelona, Miami, Uruguay, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Amsterdam. Rather than relying on obvious headliners, their events champion artists with distinctive sounds and deliberate performances. Each show is designed to surprise and confound, combining forward-thinking house music with multi-disciplinary art experiences that are both intimate and boundary-pushing.

 

Speaking on the announcement, No Art shares, “It’s been a while, Manchester. Good to be back. Built on sound, ideas, and attitude. No Art Festival feels right at home. Keep your eyes peeled for the venue announcement coming soon but it’s in an open air space in Greater Manchester!!!”

 

The Manchester edition will continue this ethos. While the full location and lineup will be revealed in the coming weeks, attendees can expect the same adventurous programming and high-quality production that has made other No Art events some of the most talked-about in the scene.
