Company Intelligence
Every listed company in Latin America — financials, ownership and structure for 1,450+ companies across 26 exchanges, in one place.
For expats in São Paulo, this is the most distinguished lineup of the Brazilian spring — rock and blues hall-of-famers in the city’s most beloved park setting.
Best of Blues and Rock 2026: The Lineup
The festival’s 2026 edition is its strongest yet: Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder headlines two nights — both sold out — while Roger Daltrey’s November 21 set brings The Who’s songbook to the park.
Around them, the bill mixes international blues (Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, Glen Hansard) with Brazilian rock royalty like Skank’s Samuel Rosa — the festival’s trademark cross-cultural formula.
Why Vedder’s Nights Sold Out
Eddie Vedder’s Brazilian relationship is legendary — Pearl Jam’s 2005 São Paulo show is still cited as one of the great bootlegs — and his solo appearances in the country are rare.
The instant sell-out of both Vedder nights leaves Daltrey’s November 21 as the last door in: a genuine consolation, with The Who’s catalog fronted by its original voice.
The Ibirapuera Setting
Ibirapuera Park is São Paulo’s green heart — the festival uses its open-air stage area, turning the city’s most democratic public space into a three-night rock club.
For newcomers to the city, few events show São Paulo at its best as clearly: families, veteran rockers and expats sharing a picnic-blanket evening.
Practical Tips for Expats
Remaining November 21 tickets are sold via Ticketmaster Brasil; resale for the Vedder nights should only go through official transfer channels.
The park is served by the AACD-Servidor and Brigadeiro metro stations with a walk; rideshare pickup zones move outside the park perimeter on event nights.
