The third stage of Rock Sertão's 25th-anniversary edition has been announced for December 4 and 5, 2026, Friday and Saturday, in Nossa Senhora da Glória, in the interior of Sergipe, Brazil. Organizers initially named two acts, Aetheria and Ana Bertozzo. As of the October 30 review, the available sources did not yet specify the performance address, showtimes or admission conditions.
What has been announced for December
The announcement issued by the festival's communications team on September 4 describes the December event as the third stage of its 25th-anniversary celebration. The plan includes live music, other art forms and expanded facilities, but this should not be mistaken for a complete and finalized program.
- Dates: Friday, December 4, and Saturday, December 5, 2026.
- Municipality: Nossa Senhora da Glória, Sergipe.
- Stage: the third part of the festival's 25th-anniversary edition.
- First artists announced: Aetheria and Ana Bertozzo.
- Not yet specified in the sources reviewed: the exact location, showtimes for individual acts, full program, tickets or free admission, and accessibility arrangements.
The first artists on the announced lineup
Aetheria is a band from Nossa Senhora do Socorro, while Ana Bertozzo is a singer-songwriter from Barra dos Coqueiros. Both were presented in the September announcement as the first acts scheduled to take part in December.
The pages reviewed did not assign either performance to a particular day or time. It is therefore not yet possible to say which act will perform on Friday or Saturday, or to treat these two names as the full lineup.
Why the 2026 festival is divided into stages
The 25th-anniversary celebration did not begin in December. In May 2026, its first stage featured educational and training activities in Nossa Senhora da Glória, including sessions at Centro de Excelência Manoel Messias Feitosa and Colégio Estadual Cícero Bezerra. Workshops covered music, audiovisual production and Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), according to festival information published by Click Sergipe.
The Associação Cultural Sertão na Arte, which organizes Rock Sertão, provides information on these workshops and the project's work in independent music and cultural education on its website. The May school-based activities and the shows announced for December belong to the same anniversary edition, but they are not the same program.
The organization also states that applications for its Quero Tocar 2026 artist-selection initiative closed on March 13 and that public voting ended on April 15. These deadlines concern artist selection and must not be confused with December audience ticketing or reservations.
Where will it take place, and where can visitors check updates?
The host municipality has been announced, but the statement covering December 4 and 5 does not give the stage's exact address. The institutional address listed on the Associação Sertão na Arte website must not be assumed to be the concert venue.
The sources reviewed through October 30, 2026, also did not establish specific terms for free admission, ticket sales or collection, opening times, age restrictions or accessibility services for this stage. The fact that the May workshops were free does not establish that December's shows will have the same admission rules.
Before arranging travel, visitors should check the Associação Cultural Sertão na Arte website and Rock Sertão's official channels for updates, especially the precise location, day-by-day lineup and admission rules. The announced schedule may be changed by the organizers.
