The Night in Context
Sunday nights in São Paulo are usually calm. Tonight is different because Monday is a national holiday, so the city can stay up late.
The two biggest shows are in the west, in the neighbouring districts of Água Branca and Barra Funda. Audio and Espaço Unimed are both a short drive apart, but they need separate plans.
M.I.A. is the more unusual booking. She plays a single date in Brazil, which makes this a rare chance to hear Arular, her 2005 debut album, live. Her show is part of Itaú Live, a concert series of the bank Itaú.
Ronnie Wood is the bigger name for rock fans. The Fearless tour marks six decades of his career.
Rain matters more than usual. Open-Meteo gives a 94 per cent chance of rain at 6 p.m., falling to 6 per cent at 9 p.m. and 1 per cent at 10 p.m., so an evening start is easy to plan around.
Smaller rooms sell tickets on platforms such as Sympla or 101 Tickets, and not every page lists the time or price. That is why some entries below say plainly what we could not confirm.
Programmes can change at short notice. Confirm with the venue on the day, and treat any price quoted by a third party as a hint, not a promise.
Practical Notes
- —Transport Audio and Espaço Unimed are both in the west of the city. A ride app such as Uber or 99, a Brazilian ride app, is the simple choice, but prices rise after shows end, so book early.
- —Weather Bring a light rain jacket for the early evening. By 9 p.m. the forecast shows only a small chance of rain.
- —Tickets Buy through the venue’s official ticket page or at the door, and avoid street sellers outside the venue.
- —Safety Carry a copy of your passport rather than the original, and agree the drop-off point with your driver before you leave.
What We Could Not Confirm
- —Ronnie Wood Sources gave different times, so we do not state a start time.
- —Six Feet Under, UANA and Candlelight The pages we saw confirm the date and place but not tonight’s time or price (Candlelight: no session list for 1 November).
- —Other parties and Sunday samba We could not confirm programmes for Sunday samba bars or club parties on venue or ticket pages, so we do not list them.
