The festival featuring Eddie Vedder and Roger Daltrey takes place November 20–22 at Parque Ibirapuera and invites fans to support social causes
Best of Blues and Rock returns for its 13th edition with one of the strongest lineups in its history and an invitation that goes beyond the stage. From November 20 to 22, 2026, in the outdoor audience area of Auditório Ibirapuera in São Paulo, the festival will run two charitable initiatives: one in partnership with GRAACC, a leading institution in the treatment of children and teenagers with cancer, and another with Blues Pela Vida, which will collect food for vulnerable families.
Tickets that become donations
To support GRAACC, the festival's organizers have set aside an allocation of tickets for Saturday, November 21, the day of Roger Daltrey's performance. These tickets are offered directly by GRAACC in exchange for donations, with all proceeds going to the institution. A donation of R$ 50 through GRAACC's online store secures one ticket. Details of the initiative are available in our dedicated post.
Food for those in need
The other initiative comes from Blues Pela Vida, which will run a non-perishable food drive throughout the festival's three days. The food will be used to put together essential food parcels for socially vulnerable families. In other words, it's worth packing a kilo of food in your backpack.
The lineup
The 2026 edition features two legendary headliners: Eddie Vedder, Pearl Jam's lead singer, and Roger Daltrey, the voice of The Who. The full lineup also includes Chris Isaak, Simon Townshend, Linka Moja, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Samuel Rosa, Artur Menezes and Vitor Kley. According to the festival's announcements, the daily schedule is as follows:
- Friday, November 20: Eddie Vedder, Simon Townshend, Linka Moja and Samuel Rosa.
- Saturday, November 21: Roger Daltrey, Chris Isaak, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram and Artur Menezes.
- Sunday, November 22: Eddie Vedder, Simon Townshend, Linka Moja and Vitor Kley.
Eddie Vedder takes the stage twice, on Friday and Sunday, and he was the one who recommended Simon Townshend for his nights. A guitarist, singer and brother of Pete Townshend, Simon has also been a member of The Who's backing band for decades.
On Saturday, Roger Daltrey brings classics from a career spanning more than 60 years to Ibirapuera, following Chris Isaak, the artist behind the classic Wicked Game, and guitarist Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, one of the leading names in the new generation of blues.

They can be purchased through Ticketmaster and at the official box office, located at Shopping Ibirapuera on the Jurupis Level (Av.
