Seal in Brazil: Two November Nights — Rio’s Qualistage on the 26th and São Paulo’s Nubank Parque on the 28th
Seal Brazil 2026 gives the country two nights: the British soul singer behind ‘Kiss from a Rose’ and ‘Crazy’ plays Rio de Janeiro’s Qualistage on November 26 and São Paulo’s Nubank Parque on November 28.
For expats in Rio and São Paulo, this is one of the great voices of the 1990s in two very different rooms — a waterfront theater and the city’s big open-air field.
Key Facts

The Voice Behind ‘Kiss from a Rose’
Seal’s 1990s run — ‘Crazy’, ‘Killer’, the Batman Forever ballad that swept the Grammys — made him one of Britain’s defining soul voices, and his live band arrangements still lean into that era.
He has toured Brazil repeatedly across four decades and draws a notably cross-generational crowd here.
Two Venues, Two Experiences
Qualistage (formerly Metropolitan) is Rio’s most reliable seated concert theater, a short hop from the Jardim Oceânico Metro station in Barra.
Nubank Parque, beside Allianz Parque, is São Paulo’s open-air answer — lawn-and-grandstand format with big-screen production.
Practical Tips for Expats
Tickets via Eventim Brazil; the Rio room is small enough that late buyers end up far back — book early for Qualistage.
For Nubank Parque, Metro Barra Funda beats any car plan; late-November São Paulo evenings can flip from warm to stormy fast.
