NMIXX Makes Historic Debut at Brazil’s Carnival
[São Paulo, Brazil – 2.17.2026] — On February 16th, global girl group NMIXX created a historic cultural moment by becoming the first K-pop group in history to perform at Brazil’s iconic Carnival, dominating an audience of approximately 2 million at one of the world’s largest cultural festivals.
The performance marked a defining milestone not only for NMIXX but for K-pop as a whole — symbolizing a historic bridge between South Korea and Brazil’s vibrant music culture.
The performance reached its peak when NMIXX stunned the massive crowd with a surprise live debut of their upcoming single TIC TIC (feat. Pabllo Vittar), featuring Brazilian global superstar Pabllo Vittar, scheduled for worldwide release on February 26. As the infectious rhythm dropped, the energy across the Carnival grounds surged instantly, transforming the historic stage into an unforgettable cross-continental celebration.
In a heartfelt tribute to the local audience, NMIXX also performed select songs in local languages, igniting an explosive reaction from fans. The crowd sang at full volume, danced through the samba-lined avenues, and flooded social platforms in real time — many calling it a defining global K-pop moment.
Blending their signature genre-mixing sound with Latin and Brazilian rhythmic influences, TIC TIC (feat. Pabllo Vittar) provided the perfect backdrop for the unveiling — vibrant, rhythmic, and unapologetically bold.
- Their latest single Blue Valentines was recently recognized by both Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter as one of the standout K-pop releases of the year.
- Blue Valentines has been steadily climbing U.S. Top 40 radio and Billboard Pop Airplay, charting for four consecutive weeks and peaking at #32.
With momentum building across North America and now Latin America, NMIXX’s Brazil Carnival debut signals a powerful new chapter in their global expansion.
Further accelerating their global rise, NMIXX is set to embark on their highly anticipated North American tour, bringing their dynamic live production and genre-defying sound to major cities across the United States and Canada.
