São Paulo Nightlife Guide for Friday, June 5, 2026
Key Points
- “Amados” at Bona (Sumaré, R. Dr. Paulo Vieira 101) — two sessions, 21h and 22h30, Eventim. Selma Fernands, Rhaissa Bittar, Pedro Índio Negro and Daniel Conti present a collaborative show of original music. Buy on Eventim; Bona’s 120-cap room does not take walk-ups on show nights.
- Tributo Eric Clapton – Me and Mr. Clapton at Blue Note SP (Consolação, Av. Paulista 2073), 20h, Eventim disponível. Honest framing: a tribute production presenting the Eric Clapton catalogue. Right for fans of the repertoire in the Av. Paulista salão.
- D-Edge runs Freak Chic (Barra Funda, R. Olga 170) from 23h — the Friday electronic residency, the club’s first properly busy night of the weekend run.
- Weather is 21°C and 10% rain — the clearest, coolest night of the week. The walk from Vila Madalena metro to Bona and from Consolação metro to Blue Note SP are the most comfortable of the run.
- Corpus Christi was yesterday (Rio state holiday). São Paulo is running a normal Friday — no transport impact, no surge from the holiday.
- Tomorrow Saturday June 6: Cordas & Voz (Lazzo Matumbi e Mário Ulloa) at Blue Note SP (20h) and Renato Braz at Bona (21h). Also tomorrow in Rio: Global Citizen Live, Enseada de Botafogo — free, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Ludmilla. Gates 15h.
- Friday is MEDIUM confidence: Bona’s four-artist “Amados” is the original-music pick, Blue Note SP is the tribute double, D-Edge closes the night. Best weather of the week.
Tonight in São Paulo
Friday June 5 is the clearest night of the week — 21°C, 10% rain, a normal Friday after Corpus Christi disruption in Rio. Three shows run simultaneously: “Amados” at Bona (21h and 22h30), the Eric Clapton tribute at Blue Note SP at 20h, and D-Edge Freak Chic from 23h.
The Bona pick is the original-music choice — four São Paulo artists presenting a collaborative programme in the 120-cap room. Blue Note SP offers the Av. Paulista tribute evening. D-Edge is the late option for anyone who wants the Friday electronic peak.
Three picks by register. “Amados” at Bona (21h or 22h30, Eventim) for the original-music intimate show; Tributo Eric Clapton at Blue Note SP (20h, Eventim) for the Paulista seated tribute; D-Edge Freak Chic (Barra Funda, from 23h, Sympla) for the Friday electronic floor.
Check Bona’s “Amados” on Eventim — four São Paulo artists, two sessions, Bona’s Friday authorial format. Buy before going; no walk-up. If Bona doesn’t fit, Blue Note SP’s Eric Clapton tribute is comfortable on the best weather night of the week. D-Edge from 23h for the extension.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the “Amados” artists and what is the show about?
The show presents Selma Fernands, Rhaissa Bittar, Pedro Índio Negro and Daniel Conti in a collaborative programme of original music at Bona. None of the four artists have surfaced in available press databases ahead of tonight’s show — this is the SP independent circuit, where Bona’s curation is the signal of quality rather than prior name recognition. Check the Bona Eventim page or @bonamusica on Instagram for the full show description and artist details before buying. The two-session format (21h and 22h30) and the 120-cap room are standard for Bona’s authorial Friday programme.
What does the Eric Clapton tribute at Blue Note SP present?
The “Me and Mr. Clapton” production presents the Eric Clapton catalogue in chronological and thematic order — from the early Cream and Derek and the Dominos material (“Layla”, “Bell Bottom Blues”, “Crossroads”) through the Unplugged era (“Tears in Heaven”, “Wonderful Tonight”) and the later blues recordings. Blue Note SP’s seated salão format with table service is a comfortable match for a catalogue-tribute show of this type. Honest framing: this is a covers production, not Eric Clapton himself. Come for the songs and the setting.
Is tonight a good night for the D-Edge terrace and how does Freak Chic compare to the Monday residency?
Yes — 21°C and 10% rain is the same weather that made the Monday On the Rocks terrace appealing, and tonight’s D-Edge Freak Chic is the busier version. On Mondays D-Edge draws its smallest crowd; on Fridays it draws its first wave of the weekend audience — the room fills by 00h and the energy is higher. Freak Chic runs house, techno and electronic crossover, where On the Rocks runs progressive rock and psychedelia; the sound system is identical. Come after 23h for the right vibe; the terrace is the reward if you arrive before the floor peaks.
