LGBT+ Pride Parade 2026: meet the event's featured artists

With the central theme "The ballot box calls. The ballot box confirms", the LGBT+ Parade will celebrate its 30th anniversary this Sunday (7). Throughout the day, several artists will occupy the entire length of Avenida Paulista, in São Paulo.

As in previous years, this edition will seek to reflect on community representation and the democratic struggle for rights and respect for diversity.

Divided into several electric musical trios, the lineup of guests confirmed so far includes big names in national music.

Since 2018, Groove has participated in four editions, including the online version held in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Among the singer's hits are: "Vermelho" (2022), "Bumbum de Ouro" (2018), "A Queda" (2021) and " Nosso Primeiro Beijo " (2024).

When promoting this year's event, Gloria reinforced that, amid a wave of conservatism, it is important for people to be present at the Parade, participate in the celebrations and protect the community.

Pabllo Vittar

Consecrating himself as one of the icons of the LGBT+ movement, Pabllo Vittar will perform his fifth show at the São Paulo event. Since she began her career, the drag queen has always made a point of raising the collective's agenda and defending its representation.

On the list of songs most anticipated by the singer's fans this year are: "MODO TURBO" (with Anitta and Luísa Sonza), "Amor de Que" (2019), "Sua Cara" (2017 - Major Lazer with Anitta) and "São Amores" (2024).

Being one of the first trans funk artists, Pepita should attract a large part of the public that will occupy Avenida Paulista. In previous years, the dancer has been present at the Pride celebration in special appearances.

The funk singer will be one of the attractions of the Opening Trio, alongside DJ Diveras, Chelsea, Divina Valéria, DJ Midori, DJ Ivan Rocks, Uriel and Diego Martins. Amid the festival's sponsorship drop of almost 60%, Pepita was one of the artists who gave up her fee in favor of the movement.

Melody

Confirmed as one of the performances of the Closing Trio, Melody deviates a little from the already consolidated image of the other artists in relation to the LGBT+ community. Just like Pepita, the young woman will also perform without receiving a fee due to the lack of sponsors.

"Fake Amor" (2021), "JETSKI" (2025) with Pedro Sampaio and MC Meno K, "Love, Love" (2023 - with Naldo Benny and Matheus Alves) are some of the hits most loved by the public that can enter the setlist.
