Slash Brazil Concerts 2027 Guide

BRAZIL · MUSIC

Slash brings Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators to Rio and São Paulo in April 2027, before the band’s US dates. Here is what visitors need to know about the Slash Brazil concerts, from tickets and half-price rules to transport and safety.

Slash, the lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, will play Fundição Progresso in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, 13 April 2027. The Slash Brazil concerts end at Espaço Unimed in São Paulo on Wednesday, 14 April 2027.

Eventim, the official seller, opens general sales on Friday, 9 October, after presales that began on 7 October. Full-price tickets cost BRL 300 to BRL 995 (about US$60 to US$199), with half-price tickets from BRL 150 (US$30).

Who Is Playing and Why It Matters

Slash, born Saul Hudson, is the top-hatted lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, the Los Angeles band behind Sweet Child O’ Mine. His solo project pairs him with Myles Kennedy, singer of the US band Alter Bridge, and the Conspirators backing group.

The 2027 world tour promotes Flying Blind, a new album due on 26 February 2027 through Gibson Records. The tour, announced on 2 October, opens in Santiago, Chile, on 2 April 2027 and visits Argentina before Brazil.

Brazil gets four dates: Florianópolis on 10 April, Curitiba on 11 April, Rio on 13 April and São Paulo on 14 April. This guide covers Rio and São Paulo, Brazil’s two largest cities, which both have direct flights from the United States.

For US fans, the Brazil shows come shortly before US dates, including the Wiltern in Los Angeles on 26 April. The tour also plays New York’s Beacon Theatre on 12 May, according to the band’s published schedule.

A Brazil trip pairs the concert with an autumn break, and Rio’s cheapest full-price ticket costs BRL 300 (about US$60). The trade-offs are a Brazilian visa, a long flight and weeknight shows that start at 9 p.m. local time.

Dates, Doors and Start Times

Rio’s show is on Tuesday, 13 April 2027, at Fundição Progresso, Rua dos Arcos 24, in the Lapa nightlife district. Eventim lists doors at 7 p.m. and the start at 9 p.m., which is 8 p.m. US Eastern time.

São Paulo’s show is on Wednesday, 14 April 2027, at Espaço Unimed, Rua Tagipuru 795, in the Barra Funda district. The timings match Rio: doors at 7 p.m., music from 9 p.m. local and 8 p.m. in New York.

In April, Rio and São Paulo run on UTC minus three hours, with no daylight saving time. That puts both cities one hour ahead of New York and four hours ahead of Los Angeles on show nights.

Opening acts have not been announced for either city. Eventim’s Rio listing sets the age limit at 18, with younger fans admitted only with a parent or legal guardian.

In São Paulo, children aged 5 to 15 need a parent or guardian, while 16- and 17-year-olds may enter alone. Both venues sell a standing floor, called the pista, plus raised areas such as mezzanines and boxes.

Tickets and Prices for the Slash Brazil Concerts

Eventim is the official seller for the Rio and São Paulo shows, which are promoted by the Brazilian company 30e. Buy online at eventim.com.br or at the official box offices, since other sites are not authorised sellers.

Presales opened on Wednesday, 7 October, for fans, Itaú bank customers and, from 8 October, Spotify users. General sale starts on Friday, 9 October, at 10 a.m. online and 11 a.m. at the box offices, Brasília time.

Itaú Unibanco, the São Paulo bank presenting the tour, gives its customers 15% off and up to three interest-free instalments. Its shares also trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ITUB.

In Rio, the standing pista starts at BRL 300 (about US$60) full price, rising to BRL 500 (about US$100) in later batches. The Pista Premium runs from BRL 600 to BRL 800 (about US$120 to US$160), and boxes cost BRL 700 (about US$140).

Rio also lists a solidarity rate, such as BRL 180 (about US$36) for the first pista batch. Half-price tickets start at BRL 150 (about US$30), but only buyers who qualify under Brazilian law may use them.

In São Paulo, full prices are BRL 395 (about US$79) for the pista and BRL 745 (about US$149) for the Pista Premium. The mezzanine costs BRL 895 (about US$179), and Camarote A and B boxes cost BRL 995 (about US$199).

During general sale, Eventim’s São Paulo listing sets a limit of six tickets, including no more than two half-price tickets. Eventim’s listings do not break out a service fee, so check the final total before paying.

Tickets arrive as QR codes in the Eventim app, which activates them 24 hours before the show. Eventim says printed tickets and screenshots will not be accepted at the door.

Rio’s official box office is at Estádio Nilton Santos, the Engenhão stadium, open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday. São Paulo’s box office is at Espaço Unimed itself, open Tuesday to Saturday except for a midday break.

Half-Price Rules for Visitors

Brazil’s Federal Law 12,933 of 2013 reserves 40% of tickets for each event at half price, a benefit called meia-entrada. It covers registered students, people with disabilities and low-income young people aged 15 to 29 listed in a federal welfare register.

A separate law, the Statute of Older Persons, gives people aged 60 or over at least 50% off cultural and sports tickets. Students must show a Brazilian student ID card, known as the CIE, when buying and again at the entrance.

Foreign student cards are not on the law’s list of accepted documents, so most visitors under 60 should budget for full price. Both Eventim listings repeat the 40% cap, so half-price tickets can sell out before full-price ones.

Getting There

São Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) and Rio’s Galeão International Airport (GIG) both receive direct flights from US hubs. Flying between the two cities takes about an hour, and the shows fall on consecutive nights.

Fundição Progresso is a converted foundry beside the Arcos da Lapa, the white aqueduct arches in central Rio. Cinelândia metro station, on Lines 1 and 2, is a short walk from the venue.

Espaço Unimed, formerly Espaço das Américas, sits near Palmeiras-Barra Funda station, which links metro Line 3-Red with commuter trains. The metro network connects the station with Avenida Paulista and downtown hotel areas.

Both shows start at 9 p.m. on weeknights, so check the last metro departures before you go. Booking a ride-hailing car home avoids walking through quiet streets late at night.

Safety and Costs for Visitors

The US State Department rates Brazil at Level 2, Exercise Increased Caution, citing crime and kidnapping. It warns that assaults using drugged drinks are common, especially in Rio de Janeiro.

The advisory also tells US citizens not to enter favelas, Brazil’s informal neighbourhoods, at any time. At concerts, carry only the phone holding your Eventim ticket, a card and some cash, and keep them in front pockets.

US citizens need a Brazilian visa approved before travel, according to the State Department. Passports must be valid on the date of entry, with one blank page for the entry stamp.

Ticket costs set the budget: a full-price Rio pista ticket is about US$60, and a São Paulo pista ticket about US$79. Seeing both nights on the cheapest full-price tickets therefore costs about US$139 before fees, flights and hotels.

Conversions use a rate of BRL 5.00 per US dollar from 8 October 2026. Card payments in reais may carry foreign transaction fees, depending on the bank.

What It Means for You

For US rock fans, the Slash Brazil concerts offer the Flying Blind show weeks before it reaches Los Angeles and New York. They also come with Brazil’s visa requirement, so sort out the paperwork before buying a ticket.

Fans already in Brazil, including US expats, can grab the cheaper first Rio batches while they last. Those who qualify for meia-entrada should keep documents ready, because the law requires proof at the entrance.

Visitors from the US should compare nights: Rio sells in rising batches, while São Paulo lists one price per sector. Anyone planning both shows should book the Rio-São Paulo flight early, since the concerts fall on back-to-back nights.

What Is Not Known

Opening acts, set lengths and the exact capacity of each hall have not been announced. Eventim’s listings do not say whether a Brazilian tax number, the CPF, is needed to complete a purchase.

Prices for any Rio batches after the third, and any extra dates, are not confirmed. The sponsor’s page names Allianz Parque as São Paulo’s box office, while Eventim lists Espaço Unimed, so check before going.

It is also not stated whether venues accept a foreign passport as proof of age for the over-60 discount. The setlist is unconfirmed, although the newspaper Estado de Minas reported that Anastasia and You’re a Lie will feature.
