Liniker’s farewell to her Caju album era comes to Salvador’s main stadium a week before Christmas. The show is on Friday, 18 December, and tickets are on sale now.
Brazilian singer Liniker brings her Bye Bye Caju tour to Salvador’s Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova on Friday, 18 December 2026. Eventim, the official ticket seller, lists the show at 8 p.m. with gates opening at 5 p.m.
For US fans, that start is 6 p.m. Eastern, and US citizens need a Brazilian visa for the trip. The State Department rates Brazil at Level 2, which asks visitors to exercise increased caution.
Why the Show Is on 18 December
The Salvador show was first announced for Saturday, 7 November, as the closing night of the tour. The Salvador dailies Correio and A Tarde reported that schedule when the tour was unveiled in December 2025.
In August 2026, the producer 30e moved the show to 18 December at the same stadium, Bahia Notícias reported. The producer did not give a reason for the change.
Bahia Notícias noted that fans had asked for a new date because the November weekend clashed with the Afropunk festival in Salvador. The producer’s statement said that “tickets already purchased remain valid for the new dates.”
The Belém show also moved, from 19 September to Saturday, 7 November, at Espaço Náutico Marine Club. O Liberal, the Belém daily, reported that change, and Eventim now lists both new dates.
Who Liniker Is and What Caju Means
Liniker is a Brazilian singer and songwriter who released her album Caju in 2024. A Tarde reports that the record won three Latin Grammy Awards.
The paper adds that Rolling Stone Brasil named Caju the best Brazilian album of 2024. Bye Bye Caju is her farewell tour to that album era, played in stadiums and other large venues.
The tour is produced by the Brazilian promoter 30e together with Breu Entertainment. In remarks quoted by A Tarde, Liniker said the show invests heavily in sound so that people “leave transformed by the experience.”
The Rest of the Tour
Eventim lists earlier stops in São Paulo on 11 July and Rio de Janeiro on 22 August 2026. The Belém show on Saturday, 7 November, is now the stop before Salvador.
That makes Salvador the last date Eventim lists for the tour. It is also the only stop in Brazil’s northeast on the route.
Tickets and Prices
Eventim is the official seller, online at eventim.com.br and through its app. On 14 October 2026 it listed the Salvador show as available, with no sold-out notice.
On 14 October, Eventim’s Liniker tour page listed these full prices for Salvador, matching the launch list in Bahia Notícias. Amounts are in Brazilian reais, converted at BRL 5.02 per US dollar, the open.er-api.com rate of 14 October.
- Upper seats (Cadeira Superior): BRL 65 (about US$13)
- Floor (Pista): BRL 165 (about US$33)
- Middle seats (Cadeira Intermediária): BRL 235 (about US$47)
- Lower seats (Cadeira Inferior): BRL 265 (about US$53)
- Premium floor (Pista Premium): BRL 385 (about US$77)
- Premium lounge (Lounge Premium): BRL 595 (about US$119)
- VIP package with premium floor access, soundcheck, a kit and early entry: BRL 885 (about US$176)
Half-price tickets for groups set by Brazilian law, such as students, start at BRL 32.50 (about US$6). A “social” ticket at 70% of the full rate is open to anyone who donates 1 kg of non-perishable food.
The single event page shows no prices, so buyers should check the final price, including fees, at checkout. Bahia Notícias reported in August that tickets were still on sale from BRL 32.50 (about US$6).
The ticket’s QR code appears in the Eventim app only 24 hours before the show. Eventim says printed tickets and screenshots will not be accepted at the gate.
Ticket transfers are limited, and Eventim switches them off on the day of the event. Buy only through Eventim, because tickets offered on social media or outside the stadium may be fake.

The Venue and How to Get There
Eventim gives the stadium address as Ladeira da Fonte das Pedras, in the Nazaré district near Salvador’s historic center. The stadium stands beside the Dique do Tororó, a lagoon in the middle of the city.
Salvador keeps Brasília time all year, three hours behind UTC, with no daylight saving time. In December, that puts Salvador two hours ahead of US Eastern time.
Rideshare apps are the simplest way to reach the stadium from Barra, Rio Vermelho or the hotel districts. Crowds leave at once after a stadium show, so plan the ride home before the encore.
Tips for US and Foreign Visitors
The State Department says a visa is required for US citizens traveling to Brazil, whatever the purpose of the trip. Its page links to Brazil’s official e-visa portal, and travelers need the visa before they fly.
Mid-December is the start of Brazil’s summer holiday season, when flights to Salvador fill up. Booking flights and hotels soon after buying a ticket avoids the steepest prices.
A weekend trip can pair the Friday concert with the historic Pelourinho, a short ride from the stadium. Keep phones and valuables out of sight in crowded areas, as in any large city.
What It Means for You
For a US fan, Salvador is the last Bye Bye Caju date on sale, with seats from about US$13 at full price. Anyone who bought for 7 November keeps the same ticket for 18 December.
Expats already in Bahia get a Friday night show with the weekend free afterwards. Visitors flying in from the United States should start the visa application well before December.
What Is Not Known
Eventim has not published how many tickets remain or whether any section is close to selling out. Refund options for buyers who cannot attend the new date have not been announced.
Opening acts, guest artists, the set length and the end time are also not public. The producer has not explained why the Salvador date moved.
