01 Tonight’s Vibe Menu

The Weeknd opens his two-night run at the Estádio MorumBIS with the After Hours Til Dawn tour. Doors at 4 pm, show at 9 pm. Anitta opens the night and returns to the stage to duet on “São Paulo,” the track from Hurry Up Tomorrow they recorded together. Tickets remaining tonight are mostly pista and cadeira superior; arquibancadas and cadeiras inferiores low or sold; all VIP packages already sold out. MetrôRio is a different city — São Paulo’s MetrôSP keeps Lines 1-Azul, 2-Verde, 3-Vermelha and 15-Prata open all night for show-day return. Beyond the stadium, the city’s distinctive parallel night runs at full capacity. Blue Note SP celebrates the UNESCO International Jazz Day at 8 pm with André Mehmari, Arismar do Espírito Santo and Ricardo Herz — three of Brazil’s most acclaimed instrumental music names converging on the Conjunto Nacional stage. D-Edge returns from its weekly Mon–Wed dark with Moving, the venue’s Thursday house-and-techno party. Ó do Borogodó hits its Thursday peak — 10 pm to 3 am, the room on Rua Horácio Lane at Pinheiros samba intensity. Casa de Francisca opens all stages — Salão, Porão, Largo, Sala B Wed/Thu only. Bar Brahma daily samba 11h–02h. Cool wet Thursday — 26 °C, 40 % rain. Tomorrow Friday is Dia do Trabalho — long weekend begins, plus The Weeknd Day 2.

Blue Note SP — UNESCO International Jazz Day
Paulista · Jazz · Brazilian Elite · Eventim
The Blue Note SP’s celebration of the UNESCO International Jazz Day brings together what the venue describes as “an unprecedented meeting of Brazil’s jazz elite.” Three names anchor the announced lineup: André Mehmari — pianist and composer, one of Brazil’s most acclaimed contemporary instrumental musicians, with a discography that traverses jazz, MPB, classical and choro; Arismar do Espírito Santo — the legendary multi-instrumentalist (bass, guitar, piano, percussion), arranger and composer who has collaborated with virtually every major Brazilian jazz figure across five decades; and Ricardo Herz — violinist, central to the contemporary Brazilian jazz violin tradition. Together they bring “a diverse range of styles and generations on one stage” in the heart of Avenida Paulista. The format favours improvisation and technical exchange. UNESCO designated April 30 as International Jazz Day in November 2011 to recognise the genre’s diplomatic role uniting cultures. Single show at 8 pm, doors at 7 pm.
Thu doors 7 pm · Show 8 pm · Av. Paulista, 2073 — Conjunto Nacional, 2º andar — Bela Vista · Metro Consolação · Eventim
Ó do Borogodó — Thursday Samba
Pinheiros · Samba · Choro · Since 2001
The Borogodó’s Thursday hours run 22h to 03h — five hours of samba de raiz, choro and batuque on Rua Horácio Lane in Pinheiros. The venue, open since 2001, has built its reputation on a curatorial principle that values both old and new generations of Brazilian samba artists. Names that have passed through include Adriana Moreira, Choro Rasgado, Giana Viscardi, Cadeira de Balanço, Dona Inah, Juliana Amaral, Ione Papas, Carmem Queiroz, Bula Cumbuca, Cochichando, Anaí Rosas. Thursday is the gentler version of the Friday-Saturday peak but still fills past 11 pm — arrive before then for one of the few tables. Cash and PIX. The room is small and the music close.

D-Edge — Moving Thursday

Run by Renato Ratier, the club has operated in Barra Funda since 2003. Two pistas plus a Lounge, plus the rooftop terrace overlooking the city. Tonight’s specific lineup at @dedgesp day-of. The Weeknd-show overlap means Moving’s later start (typically midnight) makes it a natural post-stadium continuation. 18+, valet R$50, ingressos via Ingresse.

07 Getting Around
MorumBIS: Stadium has no useful direct metro — closest is Butantã (Line 4-Yellow) plus a 15-minute bus or ride-hailing. Ride-hailing strongly recommended; surge will be extreme, especially post-show 11h30–1 am. MetrôSP show-night extension: Lines 1-Azul, 2-Verde, 3-Vermelha and 15-Prata stay open all night for desembarque on the show days. Stadium policy: water in transparent plastic up to 600 ml, sealed industrialised foods in original packaging. Other stops: Consolação (Line 2-Green) for Av. Paulista, Blue Note SP, MASP, 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. Marechal Deodoro (Line 3-Red) for D-Edge. Weather: Cool wet Thursday — 26 °C, 40 % rain. Carry an umbrella. Safety:São Paulo on a stadium night is concentrated around Morumbi — well-policed during the show but not familiar territory; use ride-hailing rather than walking after midnight. Standard awareness in Centro, Sé, Barra Funda surrounds. Pinheiros residential and safe. Tomorrow is a holiday — long-weekend traffic builds from late afternoon Friday.
