What to See & Do
Av. Paulista 2073, Conjunto Nacional 2º andar, Consolação, 20:00 + 22:30, ticketed via Eventim, 18+. Two separate independently-ticketed shows in one Blue Note SP night. Flashback anos 80 por Mark Lambert opens at 20:00 (doors 19:00): a curated revisit of 80s pop, rock and soul classics led by Mark Lambert, the British-born SP-based vocalist whose career has crossed multiple genres in Brazilian and international scenes. Velhos Camaradas — Tim Maia, Cassiano, Hyldon por Frã Finamore closes at 22:30: the project revisits the repertoire of three foundational names of soul brasileiro. According to the Blue Note SP communications, the show “establishes a bridge between the 70s groove and a contemporary reading marked by respect and sophistication”, with Frã Finamore conducting the ensemble through a programme that “rescues the strength, sensuality and elegance” of the originals. The salon clears between sessions per the Blue Note operating model. Each show is independently ticketed.
R. Quintino Bocaiúva 22, Sé, Salão doors 19:30 / Sala B doors 19:30, ticketed by stage. Two parallel tribute shows in the Palacete Teresa tonight. Salão: Thomé Canta Milton: the singer-songwriter from the zona norte of São Paulo (filho de uruguaio, neto de mineiro) brings his Milton Nascimento tribute that sold out tickets at premiere. The show “explora os maiores sucessos e também pérolas escondidas” across the wide Bituca discography per the venue’s communications. Sala B: Rosa Rosah & João Cristal “Andar com Fé”: the singer Rosa Rosah and pianist João Cristal honor Gilberto Gil’s 60-year career in piano-and-voice intimate format. Repertoire includes “Drão”, “Se eu quiser falar com Deus” and “Esotérico”, with original arrangements by João Cristal. The Sala B holds 44 seats, the smallest of Casa de Francisca’s stages, operating only Tuesday and Wednesday plus this Thursday. Casa de Francisca holds the APCA 2018 Special Project in Music award; in 2025 the venue ran 768 shows with 40 percent free admission.
Rua Dr Paulo Vieira 101, Sumaré, 20:00, ticketed via Eventim. Bona Casa de Música hosts Marley Night, dedicated to the Bob Marley repertoire and the broader reggae catalog of the Marley family lineage. The Bona, originally inaugurated in Pinheiros in 2015 and reinaugurated at the Sumaré address in 2023 with greater capacity, operates under the management of Manuela Fagundes, Kike Moraes and Gustavo Louveira, with curadoria focused on Brazilian independent music. The Sumaré property hosts approximately 200 acts per year on a single main stage. The Marley Night brings the reggae programme into the Bona’s regular Thursday rotation, alongside the standard offerings of MPB, samba and Brazilian regional music that define the venue.
Av. Mário de Andrade 141, Barra Funda, from midnight, ticketed via Ingresse, 18+ only, no minors. The Barra Funda club returns after Mon–Wed dark with its weekly Thursday signature party Moving, the format that has run since Renato Ratier opened the venue in 2003. The D-Edge holds two main pistas plus a Lounge (the more intimate dance space) and a rooftop terrace with city views. Pista programming rotates per the night’s curadoria. The club has been credited with transforming Barra Funda into a São Paulo electronic music hub from the early 2000s onward, with its history “blending with the advent of electronic music in Brazil” per the venue’s official communications. Thursday is the gentlest night of the D-Edge week (Friday Freak Chic, Saturday NAVE, Sunday SuperAfter from 05:00 to noon), making it the entry point for those who want the room without the weekend density. Valet R$50, no sports team shirts allowed at the door, tickets at @dedgesp on Instagram.

Getting Around
MetrôSP: Thursday standard weekday hours, Linhas 1, 2, 3, 4 and 15 run 04:40–00:00, last departures around 23:30 from end stations. Bona in Sumaré: Vila Madalena (Linha 2-Verde) is the nearest, then a 15-minute uphill walk along Rua Dr Paulo Vieira or a R$10–R$15 ride. Casa de Francisca: Sé (Linhas 1 and 3) or São Bento (Linha 1-Azul) at 5–7 minutes’ walk through Centro Histórico. Blue Note SP: Consolação (Linha 2-Verde) at 4 minutes’ walk to Conjunto Nacional. D-Edge: Marechal Deodoro (Linha 3-Vermelha) at 8 minutes’ walk to Av. Mário de Andrade. Uber and 99: Thursday surge climbs slightly after 22:00 toward weekend levels; Sumaré-to-Paulista typically R$18–R$28, Sé-to-Barra Funda R$20–R$35. Late return after 23:30: ride-hailing is the practical default since the metro closes at 00:00. The D-Edge after-party crowd typically uses ride-hailing through dawn since the club runs until 06:00 or later.
Safety & Practical Tips
- Blue Note SP double bill logistics: Mark Lambert at 20:00 and Velhos Camaradas at 22:30 are independently ticketed and the salon clears between sessions per the New York Blue Note operating model. The queue for the 22:30 slot starts forming around 22:00 in the Conjunto Nacional 2nd-floor lobby. Buy on Eventim in advance since both shows often sell out at the door.
- Casa de Francisca two-stage Thursday: Salão (Thomé Canta Milton) and Sala B (Rosa Rosah) run simultaneously from 19:30. The Sala B holds only 44 seats and books out for tribute slots like tonight’s; advance ticketing recommended. Each stage is ticketed independently and the rooms are not interchangeable mid-show.
- D-Edge dress code and entry: 18+ only, no minors with or without parents. Sports team shirts not allowed at the door. Valet R$50. Tickets via Ingresse online (cheaper) or at door (more expensive). Thursday is the gentlest D-Edge night of the week, suitable for first-time visitors before the Friday-Saturday weekend density.
- Sunday cold front: Mother’s Day Sunday May 10 brings a 12°C drop with the high at 17 °C and 65 % rain. If your Thursday plans extend into the weekend, pack a layer for Sunday outdoor activity.
