Full Rundown
The closing day of the Nômade Festival’s 7th edition. 12h to 22h at Parque Villa-Lobos. Day 2 Palco Nômade: Luísa Viscardi opens at 12h with DJ set; Carol Biazin 13h with the “Nem Tão Pouco Assim” tour; Marcelo D2 14h25 with “Manual Prático do Novo Samba Tradicional” — pulsing mix of samba tradition and contemporary beats; Jota.Pê 15h55 with guests Mestrinho (sanfona) and Bruna Black; Péricles 17h50 brings the pagode-romântico-into-samba catalogue; Urias 19h20 closes the rap-and-pop strand; and Zé Ramalho closing at 20h55 in his festival debut — the Paraíba master draws from 40+ years across “Avôhai,” “Frevo Mulher,” “Chão de Giz,” “Admirável Gado Novo,” with references that traverse Bob Dylan to Jackson do Pandeiro, Luiz Gonzaga to Raul Seixas. Palco Bosque rotates: Nanni Rios (12h, 15h50, 19h20), Ian Nunes (13h30, 17h50), Potyguara Bardo (17h15), Rom Santana (20h20). Sunday tickets: R$196 inteira / R$117 meia, plus the two-day Passaporte at R$353 / R$220.50. Vila gastronômica with chef Amanda de Vasconcelos (Tucupi). 18+. Shotgun.
The Blue Note SP Sunday session — second edition of Laís Yasmin’s “Clássicos de Ouro” after the March 29 premiere sold out and demand justified an immediate return. 7 pm, single session. The cuiabana cantora — semifinalist of The Voice Brasil 2018, with “Eu Só Queria Te Amar” past 40 million YouTube views — interprets a curated repertoire of 80s and 90s international hits: “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Listen to Your Heart,” “Ordinary,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”. The format that built her social-media following is on stage tonight: Laís in the central spotlight, supported by the harmonically rich Gama Musical vocal coral. The live combination — voice and choir — has translated the format from internet clips into a packed Conjunto Nacional 2nd-floor room. Past collaborations include Bruno & Marrone, Gusttavo Lima, Daniel, Roberta Miranda; she has shared the stage with international names including Norah Jones and Rod Stewart. 18+. Doors open at 18h.
The Time Warp Brasil 2026 closes its programme at the Praça das Artes in Centro from 8h Sunday morning. The official after extends the festival’s two-day arena run into the city’s daylight — the final chapter for those who began at 18h Friday at Neo Química Arena and want one more set under the SP morning sky. Praça das Artes is the cultural complex inaugurated 2012 at the heart of Centro Histórico, between the Theatro Municipal and the Galeria Olido — São Paulo’s most striking civic-cultural concrete architecture, now hosting electronic music for a few hours. Specific lineup at the Time Warp official channels day-of. Metro República (Lines 3-Vermelha and 4-Amarela) is the closest, two minutes’ walk. Tickets and access through the Time Warp ingressos system; check the festival channels for entry conditions for those without the previous day’s wristband. Cold-weather warning: Centro at 8h Sunday will be near the day’s low temperature with wind from the cold front — wear layers.
The Borogodó Sunday — the gentler weekly close, four hours from 5 pm to 9 pm on Rua Horácio Lane in Pinheiros. Sunday is the only day of the bar’s operating week (Wed–Sun) when the music starts in late afternoon rather than night. The format runs samba and choro at conversational volume — the regulars settling in for an early-evening drink, the crowd lighter than the Friday-Saturday peaks. The kitchen runs the standard boteco menu through the afternoon. Cash and PIX. Today’s notable potential: with the Nômade Festival running in Parque Villa-Lobos two metro stops away, an early Borogodó visit could pair with arrival at the Nômade for the evening (Péricles 17h50, Urias 19h20, Zé Ramalho 20h55). Or the reverse — Nômade up to Carol Biazin or Marcelo D2, then taxi to Borogodó for the close.
Suggested Route
Dark Tonight
Sunday is São Paulo’s gentlest day and most of the late venues have a different rhythm. D-Edge SuperAfter runs Sunday but is mostly a Saturday-energy extension for those still going from NAVE — not a fresh-start Sunday option. Casa de Francisca Salão closed Sunday (the Largo terrace operates 12h–19h, no nighttime show programme). Ó do Borogodó closes at 9 pm rather than running late. Bar Brahma daily 11h–02h is one of the few late-night Sunday options. Tomorrow Monday May 4: the SP weekly reset — full circuit dark. Borogodó dark Mon (and Tue), D-Edge dark Mon (through Wed), Casa de Francisca dark Mon, Blue Note SP dark Mon evening (lunch only 12h–15h). The Tuesday return brings Borogodó’s first weeknight, and a small set of Tuesday venue programmes. Cold-front continuation: the front holds through Monday with low temperatures and continued cloud cover; the high temperature won’t return to weekend levels until Tuesday-Wednesday.
Plan B
Getting Around
Nômade Festival / Parque Villa-Lobos: Vila Madalena (Line 2-Verde) is the closest metro at 15 minutes’ walk; CPTM Hebraica-Rebouças (Line 9-Esmeralda) also viable. Festival parking R$23 entries 1 and 2. Time Warp after / Praça das Artes: Metro República (Lines 3-Vermelha / 4-Amarela), two minutes’ walk from the praça. Other stops: Consolação (Line 2-Green) for Av. Paulista, Blue Note SP, Rabo di Galo. Sé and São Bento (Line 1-Blue) for Casa de Francisca. República (Line 3 / Line 4) for Bar Brahma. Faria Lima (Line 4-Yellow) for Pinheiros and Borogodó. Metro: Sunday operates standard hours, last trains around midnight. Weather: Cold Sunday — high 18 °C, 25 % rain, the front from the south. A 10°C drop from yesterday’s 28 °C; layers, light jacket, umbrella for the persistent cloud cover. Outdoor festival attendees especially need warm clothing — the Villa-Lobos is open ground with no significant cover. Ride-hailing: 99 and Uber — Sunday surge is low across the city now that the Saturday festivals have completed. Safety: São Paulo on a Sunday is at its calmest of the week. Centro around Praça das Artes well-policed during festival hours, normal awareness afterward. Pinheiros and Alto de Pinheiros residential and safe. Av. Paulista busy through the evening.
