Overview

  • The Brazil leg of Maroon 5's 'Love Is Like' tour opens on Sept. 6 in São José do Rio Preto at the Recinto de Exposições Alberto Bertelli Lucatto with a 50-meter-wide stage and a 27-meter runway to bring the band closer to fans.
  • Organizers confirmed Lagum as the opening act for the Rio Preto show and for dates in São Paulo and Salvador, giving the Brazilian band multi-city exposure ahead of Maroon 5's Rock in Rio set on Sept. 12.
  • The event is offering an 'ingresso solidário' option that gives a 60% discount on Pista and Pista Premium tickets in exchange for 1 kg of nonperishable food to be donated to the Fundo Social de Solidariedade.
  • Tickets are on sale through the event's official site and Ticketmaster with Salvador's Arena Fonte Nova prices published and premium sectors such as frontstage and camarote explicitly excluded from the solidarity discount.
  • Local officials expect about 25,000 attendees in Rio Preto and estimate the concert could generate R$15 million to R$20 million in economic activity, with hotels forecasting near-full occupancy and small businesses preparing for higher demand.
