What Ensaios da Anitta Is

Ensaios da Anitta means Anitta’s rehearsals, a series of large pre-Carnival parties she holds in Brazilian cities each January. Itatiaia, a Belo Horizonte radio station, called the February 2026 show there the third consecutive year of the project.

That 2026 show was sold out, Itatiaia said, and its set mixed axé, funk, brega funk, reggaeton and pop. No 2027 song list has been published.

Hoje em Dia says Anitta describes the 2027 edition as a celebration of the diversity of Brazilian parties and cultural traditions. Diário do Pará gives the 2027 theme as “É Festa no Brasil!” and names no Belo Horizonte guests.

The Eight-City 2027 Tour

The official Ingresse page lists eight January 2027 dates, each in its own venue. Recife, Rio de Janeiro and Curitiba were marked sold out on 24 October 2026.

  • Belém, Saturday, 9 January 2027: Estacionamento do Mangueirão.
  • Recife, Sunday, 10 January 2027: Estacionamento do Centro de Convenções (sold out).
  • Belo Horizonte, Saturday, 16 January 2027: Esplanada do Mineirão.

Tickets, Age Rules and Prices

Ingresse is the official seller, at ensaios-da-anitta.ingresse.com, and the official Carnaval da Anitta site links to it. Buy only through those pages.

The Belo Horizonte date carries a buy button, but checkout needs a log-in, so prices and seats left could not be read. The official site gives the classification as 18 years.

No 2027 Belo Horizonte prices were found in the sources checked. For scale only, Itatiaia listed 2024 prices at the same venue from BRL 120 (about US$24) to BRL 1,040 (about US$206).

Diário do Pará lists Belém Premium tickets at BRL 170 (about US$34) half price and BRL 340 (about US$67) full price. Belém prices are no guide to Belo Horizonte.

Conversions use open.er-api.com rates of Friday, 23 October 2026, when US$1 bought BRL 5.04. Booking fees and CPF rules for foreign buyers are not confirmed.

Getting to the Esplanada do Mineirão

The Esplanada do Mineirão is part of the Mineirão stadium complex at Avenida Antônio Abrahão Caram 1001, in the São José neighborhood. Lance, a Brazilian sports daily, says the stadium holds more than 60,000 people.

Lance lists bus lines MOVE 51, 63, 64, 5250 and 6350 near the stadium, plus several regular and circular routes. Taxi ranks sit on Avenida Antônio Abrahão Caram and Avenida Coronel Oscar Paschoal.

Lance also lists 2,800 parking spaces in the stadium lot, which must be bought ahead on event days. Its guide covers football matches, so check the Ingresse rules for the concert gate and parking.

For a 2018 Copa Libertadores match, the city ran a special MOVE Mineirão bus line 55 from Rio de Janeiro station. No transport plan has been published for this concert, so plan your ride home before the show.

What to Expect on the Night

Diário do Pará says Belém bans alcohol, glass, umbrellas and wheeled bags, but allows sunscreen, rain capes and one sealed water bottle. Belo Horizonte rules were not found, so read the Ingresse regulation.

Itatiaia says the 2026 Belo Horizonte show had free water and drinking fountains across the venue. January is high summer in Brazil, so plan for heat and possible rain.

Entry Rules and Safety for US Visitors

US citizens need a visa to enter Brazil and must get it before they travel, the State Department says. Apply only through the official Brazil e-visa portal, and check its current fees and processing times before you book flights.

Check your passport validity and blank pages against the consulate and e-visa portal rules before you apply. Rules can change, so confirm them on the official portal.

The State Department rates Brazil Level 2, Exercise Increased Caution, in an advisory issued on Thursday, 29 May 2025. It warns of violent crime, including armed robbery and carjacking, in urban areas by day and night.

It also says criminals target foreigners through dating apps and bars, where victims may be drugged and robbed. Keep valuables out of sight near the stadium and use licensed taxis or ride apps at night.

What It Means for You

A US fan should treat this as a real trip, with the visa first, tickets second and flights third. Apply for the e-visa early, because processing times are not confirmed here.

Check the official Ingresse page before you book flights, because Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Curitiba already sold out. Never pay a stranger for a ticket file.

What Is Not Known

The show start time, gate times, guests and set length for Belo Horizonte have not been published in the sources checked. Prices, sectors and seats left could not be read because checkout needs a log-in.

Booking fees, half-price eligibility and whether foreign buyers can pay without a CPF are not confirmed. Bag and alcohol rules for this show were not found.

No shuttle, parking sale or traffic plan has been published for the concert. The Lance guide covers football days, so gate and bus details may differ.

What Comes Next

The tour opens in Belém on Saturday, 9 January 2027, one week before Belo Horizonte. Brasília follows on Sunday, 17 January 2027.

Show times, gate details and transport plans are likely to appear on the Ingresse page closer to the date. Visa applications should start well before then.
