Planning Your Brasília November
Most of the confirmed shows sit in two places: the Clube do Choro and the Ulysses convention centre on the Monumental Axis. Brasília is built for cars, so check taxi or ride-hailing options for late finishes.
Plan around the holidays: Monday 2 and Friday 20 November give long weekends, and Sunday 15 November falls on a Sunday. Venues may change hours on holidays, so confirm before you travel.
Not confirmed: we could not retrieve ticket pages for a Revelação and Xande de Pilares concert listed for Saturday 28 November, the Rock in Orla festival, the Michael Jackson tribute, the Quattor ballet and several other shows from earlier drafts, so they are not included. The page for Viva Minas on 13 November showed a conflicting year, so we left it out. Where a seller’s page shows sales as closed, ask the venue box office.
