The Night in Context
Tonight São Paulo has few big concerts to choose from, but a steady run of club shows on and around Avenida Paulista.
Rain decides tonight. Open-Meteo gives a 100 per cent chance of rain at 6 p.m. and 84 per cent at 10 p.m., with temperatures falling to about 17°C (63°F), so the club on Paulista, reachable by Metro, beats a night of bar-hopping.
Blue Note São Paulo lists a run of tribute shows this week. Tonight’s Dire Straits tribute is followed by a Rolling Stones tribute on Friday and Tears for Fears and Elton John tributes on Saturday.
For a visitor, that is a useful signal. English-language tribute nights are easy entry points for visitors, while Brazilian acts like João Sabiá show the local side.
Programmes can change at short notice, so confirm with the venue on the day. Line-ups come from the venue pages checked on the morning of 29 October.
Practical Notes
- —Transport Blue Note sits on Avenida Paulista, which has Metro stations at Consolação and Trianon-Masp. After the Metro closes, use a ride app such as Uber or 99, a Brazilian ride app.
- —Weather Expect about 17°C (63°F) and rain, so bring an umbrella and a warm layer.
- —Tickets Buy through the venue’s official ticket page (Casa Natura Musical uses Sympla; Blue Note links to Eventim) and avoid street sellers.
- —Safety Keep phones out of sight on the street, and agree the drop-off point with your driver before you leave.
What We Could Not Confirm
- —Prices Neither Blue Note São Paulo nor Casa Natura Musical shows ticket prices on its programme page, so we list none.
- —Casa Natura Musical We could not confirm the start time of Jean Tassy’s show.
- —Other venues We could not read a current listing for Cine Joia, so we do not list it.
