BRAZIL · CONCERTS

The Simple Plan Brazil tour brings the Canadian pop-punk band Simple Plan to three Brazilian cities in May 2027. The shows are in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday 13 May, Curitiba on Saturday 15 May and São Paulo on Sunday 16 May.

For US fans the Simple Plan Brazil tour is a short and affordable trip, because the cheapest full-price seat is R$195 (US$36). General sale opens on Friday 30 October, and two pre-sales start earlier this week.

What the Simple Plan Brazil Tour Is and Why It Matters

Simple Plan is a Canadian rock band formed in Montreal, and Eventim, the official ticket seller, says it is celebrating 25 years. Eventim calls the Simple Plan Brazil tour the Bigger Than You Think South America Tour.

Three dates make up the Simple Plan Brazil tour: Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba and São Paulo. Curitiba is the capital of Paraná state in the south, and São Paulo is the largest city in the country.

Eventim’s artist page says All Time Low and the Brazilian band Supercombo open all three shows. Set It Off, Fresno and Di Ferrero are listed only for Curitiba and São Paulo, so the bill is not final.

The tour is presented by Itaú Live, the music platform of Itaú Unibanco, a Brazilian bank, which also gets its own pre-sale. Itaú Private and Itaú Personnalité are premium banking tiers of the bank.

Simple Plan Brazil Tour Dates, Venues and Doors

The first show is on Thursday 13 May 2027 at Qualistage, Avenida Ayrton Senna 3000, in the Barra da Tijuca district of Rio de Janeiro. Doors open at 17:00, and the Eventim page says the venue sits inside the Via Parque shopping centre.

The second show is on Saturday 15 May at the Arena da Baixada, Rua Buenos Aires 1260, in the Água Verde district of Curitiba. Doors open at 12:00 noon, and the show start time is not yet announced.

The third show is on Sunday 16 May at Nubank Parque, Avenida Francisco Matarazzo 1705, in the Água Branca district of São Paulo. Doors again open at 12:00 noon.

Brazil does not use daylight saving time, so in May it is one hour ahead of New York. Doors at 17:00 in Rio are therefore 16:00 Eastern Time, and noon doors in Curitiba or São Paulo are 11:00 Eastern Time.

Ticket Sales and Prices

Eventim lists three sale windows for the Simple Plan Brazil tour, and two pre-sales open online on Wednesday 28 October at 10:00 Brasília time. They are an artist pre-sale and one for Itaú Private and Personnalité clients, and Itaú clients follow on Thursday 29 October.

General sale opens on Friday 30 October at 12:00 online and 13:00 at box offices, Brasília time. Pre-sale buyers may take 4 tickets and general-sale buyers 6, with at most 2 half-price tickets per order.

In Rio the full price (inteira) is R$195 (US$36) for Poltronas, R$265 (US$50) for Poltronas A and R$325 (US$61) for the standing floor (Pista). Premium floor is R$545 (US$102), and the three box levels (Camarote) cost R$715 (US$134), R$755 (US$141) and R$795 (US$149).

In Curitiba and São Paulo the upper seats cost R$215 (US$40), the floor costs R$375 (US$70) and the lower seats cost R$475 (US$89). The Premium floor sold with Itaú Personnalité is R$575 (US$108), and Curitiba adds a Lounge Premium at R$475 (US$89).

Itaú card holders get 15% off full-price tickets during the pre-sale only, limited to 4 tickets per Brazilian tax number (CPF). Half-price tickets (meia-entrada) cost R$162.50 (US$30) on the Rio floor but are reserved for groups named in Brazilian law.

Dollar amounts in this Simple Plan Brazil tour guide use 5.35 reais per US dollar on Wednesday 28 October 2026. Eventim’s pages did not show a booking fee, so the final price at checkout may be higher.

Entry Rules, Age Limits and Bags

Entry works through the Eventim app, where the QR code appears only 24 hours before the show. Eventim states that printed tickets and screenshots will not be accepted at the door.

Children and teenagers aged 5 to 15 may enter only with a parent or legal guardian, and 16 and 17 year olds may attend alone. The pages do not say whether a younger child needs a ticket of their own.

Ticket transfers between app users are limited in number and switched off on the day of the show. US visitors who buy for friends should arrange the transfer well before 13, 15 or 16 May.

The bag limit is not confirmed. Eventim’s Portuguese rules say 30 by 30 centimetres (12 inches) while its English text says 40 centimetres, so bring the smallest bag you can.

Eventim’s banned list includes outside food and drink, alcohol, umbrellas, professional cameras, selfie sticks, drones, tablets and team jerseys. Power banks are allowed only up to 300 grams and 2.5 by 8 by 18 centimetres.

Getting There and Where to Stay

The Rio venue has no car park of its own, but Eventim says the Via Parque shopping centre around it has one. The entrance, walkways and restrooms are described as wheelchair accessible.

In São Paulo the Nubank Parque ticket office is at Rua Palestra Itália 200, Gate A, from 3 November. In Curitiba the stadium ticket office is at Rua Buenos Aires 50 in Batel, open 11:00 to 21:00 on weekdays.

Meia-entrada is a half-price ticket reserved for groups named in Brazilian law. Eventim’s page does not say whether foreign student cards qualify, so plan to pay the full price.

Hotels near stadiums fill quickly on show weekends, so book a refundable room early. The Curitiba and São Paulo shows fall on consecutive days.

Tips for US and Foreign Visitors on the Simple Plan Brazil Tour

US citizens need a Brazilian visa for tourist trips, and the US State Department points them to the online e-visa. Our guide to the Brazil e-visa for US citizens explains the steps, so apply well before the flight.

Eventim’s artist page names 30e as the producer, but none of the three event pages names an organiser. Ticket fees, the refund policy and ID checks at the door are also not stated.

Meia-entrada is a legal discount for students, seniors and some other groups, capped at 40% of each venue’s capacity. The page does not say whether foreign student cards qualify, so assume US visitors pay the full price.

Official Simple Plan Brazil tour tickets come only through Eventim and its box offices. The company warns that it is not responsible for purchases on unofficial channels such as resale offers on social media.
