Good morning: São Paulo’s first Friday of 2026 is built around three “early-start” hangouts in the North Zone, a strong rock-and-classic-rock double option in Vila Olímpia, two comedy choices on Rua Augusta/Consolação, and a clean theatre block (musical + play) if you want seats instead of a dance floor.
