BRAZIL · SÃO PAULO CONCERT

Anitta in São Paulo closes her eight-city January tour on Sunday 31 January 2027 at Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembú, a football stadium. Tickets were on sale on Wednesday 28 October 2026.

For a US reader, this is a chance to see one of Brazil’s best-known singers in the weeks before Carnival. This guide to Anitta in São Paulo covers the date, venue, ticket seller, age rule, visa, safety and open questions.

In Plain English

Anitta is a Brazilian singer, and Ensaios da Anitta means Anitta’s rehearsals, the name of her January 2027 series of big outdoor shows before Carnival. Carnival is Brazil’s national street festival, held in the days before Lent.

Ingresse is the Brazilian ticket platform that sells these shows. Mercado Pago, the payment arm of the online retailer Mercado Livre, gave its credit card customers an early sale.

Anitta in São Paulo: What the Show Is and Why It Matters

The 2027 series that brings Anitta in São Paulo is called “É Festa no Brasil!”, which means “It’s a party in Brazil!”. The official tour site says the shows celebrate festivals from all over Brazil and lists eight dates in January 2027.

The tour opens in Belém on Saturday 9 January and plays Recife on Sunday 10 January. Belo Horizonte follows on Saturday 16 January, then Brasília on Sunday 17 January and Campinas on Saturday 23 January.

Rio de Janeiro plays on Sunday 24 January and Curitiba on Saturday 30 January, before São Paulo closes the run on Sunday 31 January 2027. On Wednesday 28 October 2026 the official pages showed Rio de Janeiro as sold out, while São Paulo still had a buy button.

The tour site also lists two Carnival dates after the stadium shows. They are in Salvador on Friday 5 February, on the Barra-Ondina Carnival route, and in downtown Rio de Janeiro on Saturday 13 February.

We have already covered two other dates on this tour. Read our guides to the Rio de Janeiro show at Parque Olímpico and the Belo Horizonte show at the Mineirão.

Tickets and Age Rules for Anitta in São Paulo

Ingresse is the official seller of tickets for Anitta in São Paulo, and the tour’s own site links every city to it. Buy only on ensaios-da-anitta.ingresse.com, since resale offers on social networks are a common route to fake tickets.

Ingresse says an early sale on Tuesday 15 September was reserved for holders of Mercado Pago credit cards. The page shows no separate public sale date for São Paulo, but the buy button was active on Wednesday 28 October 2026.

The organisers give the classification as 18 years and older. They point anyone under 18 to the city rules on Ingresse, which need a login to read.

Ticket types, prices and booking fees for São Paulo are not shown on the public pages we read. Checkout needs an account, and whether a foreign buyer must give a Brazilian tax number (CPF) is not confirmed.

The Venue for Anitta in São Paulo and How to Get There

Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembú is the former Pacaembu municipal stadium, at Praça Charles Miller in the Pacaembu district of São Paulo. We found no capacity figure for concerts from the operator, so we give none.

An unofficial community history page about the stadium says neighbours have won court decisions against non-sports events there. It does not say whether any decision applies to this date, so watch the Ingresse page for a change of venue.

That same page says it has no link to any public or private body and that dates, prices and hours may change. No shuttle, metro extension or parking plan for the night is confirmed.

Another big show uses the same stadium soon after Anitta in São Paulo. Colombian star Karol G plays there on Friday 12 February 2027, as our Karol G Pacaembu guide explains.

What It Means for You as a US Visitor

US citizens have needed a visa for Brazil since 10 April 2025, and the US State Department says tourists can use an e-visa. Our Brazil visa guide puts the fee at US$80.90 and processing at up to 10 business days, as of October 2026.

Your passport must be valid on the day you enter and have a page free for the entry stamp. Apply well before you book flights, since a refused or late visa can leave a ticket useless.

Anitta in São Paulo falls on a Sunday in the Brazilian summer, and the main Carnival Tuesday is 9 February 2027. Our São Paulo city page and November events guide help you plan the rest of your stay.

No prices are published for Anitta in São Paulo, so we cannot give a US$ cost for the ticket. Use the live Ingresse page to see the price, and ask your card issuer about foreign-transaction fees before you pay.

Safety and Practical Tips

The US State Department’s Brazil page says to exercise increased caution in Brazil because of crime. Its date line reads last updated 15 November 2023, and we re-read it on Wednesday 28 October 2026.

It says the violent crime rate is high in most Brazilian urban centres. It advises caution at major transport centres and on public transport, especially at night, and suggests avoiding municipal buses.

The State Department says registered taxis have red licence plates and show company details and phone numbers. For a late finish after a stadium show, book your ride home in advance and keep your phone and passport copy out of sight.

The US Consulate General in São Paulo can be reached at 011-55-11-3250-5000. In an emergency in Brazil, dial 190 for police, 192 for an ambulance or 193 for the fire service.

The State Department also says yellow fever vaccination is not required to enter Brazil. Travellers who want it should consider getting it before they travel, because local supplies are limited.

What Is Not Confirmed Yet About Anitta in São Paulo

The organisers have not published the show time, gate times, ticket prices, sectors or full stadium rules for Anitta in São Paulo. They also have not named guest artists for this city or a set list.

Item bans and other conditions published for other cities may not apply in the same way to Anitta in São Paulo. Read the Ingresse regulation for the city before you travel.

Public transport arrangements, parking and any court limit on the stadium for this date are also not confirmed. Check the Ingresse page again in the weeks before the show, since plans for a big outdoor event can change.
