Why we show this: prediction markets turn real-money bets into a live probability that moves within minutes of the news, which is why investors, campaigns and newsrooms in the United States now follow them closely. We show them next to polls and official results, never instead of them.

A young British pop singer sold out her first Brazil show months ahead. A second São Paulo night is now on sale.

Freya Skye plays a second São Paulo show at Audio on Thursday, 28 January 2027, her official tour page shows. The extra night follows the Wednesday, 27 January 2027 show at the same hall, which the page lists as sold out.

The listings site BaresSP gives a 9 p.m. show time for the first night, which is 7 p.m. US Eastern. Visitors from the United States need a Brazilian visa, which can be requested online before travel.

Who Freya Skye Is

Freya Skye is a British pop singer on her Stars Align Tour. The São Paulo dates are her first shows in Brazil.

The regional site Tribuna do Sertão says she has passed 2.8 billion streams and has more than 2.5 million listeners on Spotify. It adds that Billboard named her in its 21 Under 21 list for 2026.

Her EP stardust topped the Billboard and UK vinyl charts, according to Tribuna do Sertão. She released a new single, “bad taste,” on Wednesday, 16 September 2026.

Melodic Magazine reported that she debuted the single at an acoustic show in New York City, her first solo headline show. The magazine says her venues have grown from about 200 seats to as many as 4,000.

The Stars Align Tour in Latin America

The Latin American leg opens at Auditorio BB in Mexico City on 18 January 2027, her tour page shows. It then visits Royal Center in Bogotá on 21 January and Teatro Coliseo in Santiago on 23 January.

Buenos Aires follows on 25 January at C Art Media, a date the tour page lists as sold out. São Paulo closes the leg with the two nights at Audio on 27 and 28 January.

After Brazil, the tour moves to Asia, starting in Bangkok on 12 February, Melodic Magazine reported. It ends in Taipei on 22 February after stops including Tokyo and Seoul.

The São Paulo shows are produced by Music On, Tribuna do Sertão reported. A presale opened on Monday, 21 September, and general sale began on Tuesday, 22 September.

The Venue and How to Get There

Audio is a concert hall at Avenida Francisco Matarazzo 694, in the Água Branca district of western São Paulo. The venue publishes that address on its own website.

The hall sits next to Barra Funda, where the Palmeiras–Barra Funda station links metro Line 3 with suburban trains. Check the last metro times for that Thursday before you travel.

The State Department advises using rideshare apps with traceable trips, or marked taxis called by hotel staff. It also tells visitors to wait for their ride in a secure area.

Registered taxis in Brazil carry red licence plates, the department notes, which helps fans spot an official cab. Agree on a meeting point with friends before the show, as the crowd leaves at once.

Late January is summer in São Paulo, with warm days and frequent heavy evening rain. A light rain layer helps on the walk between the hall and the station.

Tickets and How to Buy

Ticketmaster Brasil is the official seller for both São Paulo nights, the tour page shows. On Wednesday, 14 October, it listed 28 January as on sale and 27 January as sold out.

Ticket prices were not shown on the tour page or venue site checked for this article. Fans should confirm the price, any service fee and the age rules on Ticketmaster before buying.

Brazilian law gives half-price tickets, called meia-entrada, to groups such as students, who must show proof at entry. Foreign students should check whether their card is accepted before choosing that option.

Buy only through Ticketmaster or the official box office it names. Tickets offered on social media or by sellers outside the hall may be fake.

Tips for US and Foreign Visitors

US citizens need a visa to enter Brazil for any purpose, the State Department says. Applications go through Brazil’s official e-visa system or a Brazilian consulate, and approval must come before departure.

The department rates Brazil at Level 2, Exercise Increased Caution, with Do Not Travel warnings for some areas. It says violent crime, including armed robbery, can happen day or night.

It also advises against municipal buses, especially at night. The metro or a booked ride is the safer way back to a hotel after the show.

São Paulo marks its city anniversary on Monday, 25 January 2027, a local holiday, two days before the first show. Hotels and flights can fill early around that long weekend.

What It Means for You

For US fans, the new night is a second chance at a show that sold out on its first date. A weeknight concert in São Paulo also fits easily around a business trip or a summer holiday.

Brazil does not use daylight saving time, so São Paulo runs two hours ahead of US Eastern in January. Expats in São Paulo should plan the ride home before the show starts.

What Is Not Known

Ticket prices for the São Paulo shows were not confirmed in the listings checked. Opening acts, the set length and official door and show times for both nights have also not been published.

It is not known how many tickets remain for 28 January. No further Brazilian dates outside São Paulo have been announced.

What Comes Next

The tour reaches Latin America with the Mexico City show on Monday, 18 January 2027. The two São Paulo nights follow on 27 and 28 January.

Any change to times or entry rules would be announced through Ticketmaster. Ticket holders should check their account and email in the week before the show.
