Marisa Monte in Rio brings the symphonic show Phonica – Marisa Monte & Orquestra ao vivo to the Brava Arena Jockey on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026. The two concerts are the last Rio dates of the tour, which then closes in São Paulo.
Phonica – Marisa Monte & Orquestra ao Vivo
Despite its full title, Phonica – Marisa Monte & Orquestra ao vivo. The show means Phonica, Marisa Monte and Orchestra live; she performs it in Rio.
The show is a symphonic concert, as reported by O Dia on 24 August 2026. Accompanied by her band and a 55-musician symphony orchestra under conductor André Bachur, Monte will perform on both dates.
The tour has visited arenas and parks in six Brazilian state capitals, according to G1. The concerts will happen on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026, as confirmed by O Globo and O Dia.
However, the tour’s full title must be used at first mention, then Phonica for short.
Marisa Monte in Rio: Venue and Area
The concerts take place at the Brava Arena Jockey, inside the Jockey Club Brasileiro, Rio’s historic horse-racing club. The grounds sit between the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas and the Jardim Botânico district.
The venue is in the Zona Sul, the South Zone, which includes Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon. However, the promoters have not published a street address for the arena.
The Brava Arena Jockey is inside the Jockey Club Brasileiro, which sits between the Lagoa and the Jardim Botânico. Meanwhile, the Zona Sul is the beachfront side of Rio, including Copacabana and Ipanema.
Ticket Sales Begin This Week
Pre-sale starts on Monday 24 August 2026 at midday for Banco do Brasil customers with BB Visa cards. However, this is for Marisa Monte in Rio.
General sale opens on Wednesday 26 August at 2pm through the Tickets For Fun website. The official box office, however, is at the Museum of Modern Art in Flamengo.
Known as MAM, on the other side of the city. These shows are sold through Tickets For Fun.
Banco do Brasil is Brazil’s federally controlled commercial bank, and its cardholders get early access. However, the general sale on Wednesday is open to everyone through Tickets For Fun and the MAM box office.
What Is Still Unknown
As of now, no start time or ticket prices for the 7 and 8 November Rio shows have been published. O Dia and O Globo RioShow list only the venue, on-sale dates and seller.
In addition, the box office hours and its street address at MAM are not documented. So, plan to check the Tickets For Fun site for updates.
Neither the door time nor the Rio ticket prices have been published for these two nights. Therefore, anyone booking a trip should wait for the official announcement from Tickets For Fun.
Prices From Other Shows
For the tour’s closing show in São Paulo, Terra reported prices from 125 reais (about US$24) to 620 reais (about US$120). These are São Paulo prices, not Rio’s.
By contrast, the 2025 Rio run had prices from 386.20 reais (about US$75) to 580.90 reais (about US$113). Still, those were for 31 October 2025.
Therefore, do not assume these apply to 2026. The São Paulo closing show prices start at 125 reais (about US$24) and go up to 620 reais (about US$120).
In addition, the 2025 Rio prices ranged from 386.20 reais (about US$75) to 580.90 reais (about US$113).
The Tour’s Argument
The tour includes ‘Cérebro eletrônico’ for the first time, a Gilberto Gil song from 1969 about a thinking machine. This is a nod to artificial intelligence, which now dominates algorithms and conversations.
Moreover, Marisa Monte told O Globo RioShow Guia, ‘I carry on with the same spirit as someone who is always beginning. With curiosity and a desire to try new things.
‘ That spirit is evident in this project. The song ‘Cérebro eletrônico’ is about a thinking machine, and it appears in a tour for the first time.
Since artificial intelligence now dominates conversations, this inclusion feels timely and reflective.
A Different Show From 2023
These are not the Portas shows; that tour said goodbye to Rio in December 2023 at the Arena Jockey. So, the 2026 concerts are purely Phonica.
In fact, the full title corrects any confusion, as the tour is not simply called Phonica. The Brazilian sources use the complete name, Phonica – Marisa Monte & Orquestra ao vivo.
Her previous Rio run ended in December 2023, with shows on 16 and 17 December. The 2026 concerts belong to the symphonic show, a different production.
Last Rio Shows, Not Last Tour Dates
O Dia headlined that Marisa Monte returns to Rio for the last shows of the Phonica tour. However, the qualifier is ‘last Phonica shows in Rio de Janeiro.
‘ Therefore, these are the final Rio dates, not the tour’s end. Instead, the tour closes in São Paulo at the Nubank Parque, as reported by Terra.
The date of that closing show has not been announced. These are the final Phonica shows in Rio, but the tour itself ends in São Paulo.
Meanwhile, the date of that São Paulo closing show has not been announced yet.
