The ex-Angra voice rolls his career-spanning Mi’raj & The Legacy Tour into Prado Velho this Sunday. With a young Curitiba six-piece warming up the crowd.
Edu Falaschi is the name to circle this weekend: the former Angra frontman plays Stage Garden in Curitiba on Sunday. If you love your metal with soaring melodies and a bit of history.
16 August 2026, with local heroes Phantom Star opening the night. Whether you are an expat settling into the city, a digital nomad passing through, or a long-time resident after a big live show.
This is an easy, affordable Sunday out for anyone who grew up on Brazilian power metal.
Why Edu Falaschi in Curitiba is worth your Sunday
Edu Falaschi is one of the most recognisable voices in Brazilian heavy metal. He fronted Angra through the band’s celebrated 2000s run, singing on landmark albums including Rebirth (2001) and Temple of Shadows (2004).
Before going on to lead his own projects and, later, a solo career under his own name. Now he is touring as a solo artist, and Curitiba gets one of the dates.
For metal fans in the city, it is a rare chance to hear those classic anthems live without a trip to Sao Paulo. And at a price that sits comfortably below a big international arena show.
The concert lands on a Sunday, which makes it an unusually relaxed night out. You can catch the show, be home at a reasonable hour, and still function on Monday.
The Mi’raj & The Legacy Tour: what he actually plays
This run is billed as the Mi’raj & The Legacy Tour, and the name is a good clue to the setlist. It is a career-spanning show rather than a single-album tribute, weaving together the different chapters of his 35-year run.
Expect a heavy dose of Angra classics from his era with the band, songs such as Nova Era. Rebirth, Spread Your Fire, Heroes of Sand and The Voice Commanding You.
The opening night of the tour in Rio de Janeiro leaned hard on exactly this material. Alongside the Angra favourites, he digs into his other projects, including Almah, and plays newer solo songs like the title track Mi’raj.
So even if you only know the classics, there is plenty to discover across the evening.
Meet the opener: Phantom Star
Warming up the crowd is Phantom Star, a six-piece heavy metal band from Curitiba itself. Formed in 2024, they have just put out their debut full-length and have been building a following on the local circuit.
Their sound sits in the classic and traditional metal lane, with nods to influences like Dio, Savatage and Iron Maiden. If you like the headliner, you will feel right at home during the support set.
Backing a homegrown band is also a nice way to plug into Curitiba’s live scene. So it is worth turning up early rather than rolling in just before the main act.
Date, doors and start time
The show is on Sunday, 16 August 2026 at Stage Garden. Listings point to doors and the event opening from around 7pm, with Edu Falaschi’s headline set scheduled for roughly 9pm.
Times can shift on the night, so treat 7pm as your arrival window if you want to catch Phantom Star’s full set. Getting in early also means a shorter queue and a better spot on the floor.
Because it is a Sunday, plan your journey home in advance, as late-night transport thins out compared with a weekend.
Where it happens: Stage Garden
The venue is Stage Garden, at Avenida Marechal Floriano Peixoto 4142, in the Prado Velho neighbourhood of Curitiba. It is a mid-sized live house rather than a stadium.
Which is part of the appeal: you are close to the stage all night. Prado Velho sits just south-east of the city centre, so it is an easy hop from most central neighbourhoods.
If you are staying downtown or in Batel, you are only a short ride away. For a venue this size, expect a warm, intimate atmosphere.
That closeness is exactly what makes hearing these songs live feel special.
What tickets cost and how to buy them
Tickets are sold through Articket, the platform named in the official announcement. Buying online in advance is the safest route, and it saves you queuing at the door.
Published prices for the tour run in tiers, with a recent lot listed at about R$320 for a full ticket (US$62). R$180 for a solidario ticket (US$35) and R$160 for half-price ‘meia-entrada’ (US$31).
Amounts are converted at roughly R$5.19 to the US dollar as of mid-August 2026. Prices move between lots and can change close to the date.
So check the current grid on the Articket event page before you buy. Half-price entry applies to students, seniors and other eligible groups, and you will need valid ID at the gate to use it.
Getting there and around Curitiba
Curitiba is famous for its bus system, and the venue in Prado Velho is close to the central network. So public transport is a realistic option earlier in the evening.
From the centre it is a short trip. For the ride home after a Sunday-night show.
Ride-hailing apps are reliable and usually the simplest choice, especially if the set runs late. Fares from Prado Velho to central neighbourhoods are modest.
If you are driving, give yourself time to park nearby and factor that into your budget for the night.
Practical tips for the night
Dress warmly on the way in and out. August is winter in Curitiba, and the city is known for chilly.
Damp evenings, so a jacket you can carry inside is a good idea. Bring photo ID, and keep your digital ticket handy on a charged phone.
If you bought a half-price ticket, carry the document that proves your eligibility to avoid any hassle at the door. Finally, arrive early enough for Phantom Star.
Support slots at shows like this are where you find the next band worth following. And it sets the tone for a proper metal night.
Who this show is for
This is a gift for anyone who came up on 2000s Brazilian power metal. And for newer fans curious about where that sound came from.
Hearing an Edu Falaschi set in a room this size is a treat you will not get at a giant festival. It is also a friendly entry point for expats and nomads who want to sample Curitiba’s live music without committing to a huge night out.
One venue, one ride home, and a genuinely local crowd. If any of that sounds like your kind of Sunday, grab a ticket before the final lot sells and enjoy the show.
