The Night in Context
Hayley Williams plays Espaço Unimed for the second night in a row. The venue says the extra date was added because of demand for tickets.
The musical sits at the other end of the scale. Its price range of R$25 to R$400 (about US$4.45 to US$71) is wide, so the price you pay depends on the seat you pick.
Teatro Santander and Espaço Unimed are in different parts of the city. Barra Funda is in the west, and Itaim Bibi is in the south-west, so choose one rather than trying both.
The musical and the concert both start at 8 p.m., so the choice is between them. The musical tells the story of Gilberto Gil, who also appears in Rio de Janeiro tonight as the guest of the band Gilsons, according to the Vivo Rio concert hall.
Open-Meteo, a free weather service, forecasts 20.4°C (69°F) at 6 p.m. with a 98 per cent chance of rain, easing to 38 per cent at 8 p.m. and 3 per cent at 10 p.m.
Practical Notes
- —Transport Use a ride app such as Uber or 99, a Brazilian ride app, or the Metro, São Paulo’s underground. Barra Funda has its own Metro and train station, Palmeiras-Barra Funda, and Teatro Santander sits in a shopping complex in Itaim Bibi.
- —Tickets Buy at the venue’s box office or through the page the venue names. Avoid street sellers outside any venue.
- —Weather Bring a rain jacket rather than an umbrella, because the Espaço Unimed page lists umbrellas among prohibited objects. It is 19.9°C (68°F) at 8 p.m. and 18.9°C (66°F) at 10 p.m.
What We Could Not Confirm
- —Blue Note São Paulo The jazz club’s schedule lists “Amici” (sold out) and “Sala de Música”, a Rádio CBN radio programme, with the singer João Sabiá at 8 p.m., and “ABBA The History” and “Day Limns canta anos 2000” at 10:30 p.m. The club’s pages show no prices and link to Eventim, a Brazilian ticketing site we could not read, so we do not rank them.
- —Audio The club lists the group Braza on Friday 13 November, a rescheduled date, with doors at 9 p.m., rated 18+, but its page shows no ticket price, so we do not rank it.
- —Hayley Williams prices The venue shows no price today, so the figures above are the prices Rolling Stone Brasil listed on 4 May 2026, and current availability may differ.
