Festival will feature names like Alice Cooper, Deep Purple and Dave Matthews Band in their own initiative, without support from any supporter
The 2025 edition of Best of Blues and Rock continues in search of a sponsor. The traditional event, promoted annually since 2013, takes place on June 7, 8, 14 and 15 at Ibirapuera Park, in São Paulo. Names like Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Dave Matthews Band and Richard Ashcroftamong others, are cast.
Pedro Biancocreator of the festival and president of Dance Marketing, left the information clear during an event with journalists last Tuesday (11). In an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone Brazilthe businessman reinforced the point.
“Everything in life is an experience: not only accomplishing, but trying to do new things. We are open to this, including a sponsor who wants to enter and help us make this event, which is missing right now. ”
Despite the absence of a company that can finance the actions of the event, Bianco is excited about the future – so much so that it has not ceased to whim in lineup choices even without a sponsorship. The entrepreneur says:
“I think the festival is getting better every day, growing up with a wonderful audience. I am not afraid to talk about it. The company has been investing in the project because it believes in it, regardless of anything, especially for the public that it adds in a wonderful space. Who wants to talk to this audience can very well enter the best of blues and rock [como patrocinador] and count on a wonderful platform for culture, art and entertainment at the same time. ”

The manager, which accumulates decades of experience at Showbiz, also points out that his company will not fail to innovate in the holding of events. In 2025, the Best of Blues and Rock will include prior free events between March and May, such as photographic exhibition, cinema show and pocket shows.
“We have the idea of continuing to innovate and testing options, albeit within this platform. The festival format in the park is very pleasant. People and musicians have contact with nature, the infrastructure of Ibirapuera Park is wonderful. It’s a robust project: people arrive at the festival at lunchtime and have options to eat and sit on the lawn, it’s a place in downtown São Paulo and near everyone – it makes all the difference for people to go – and the event has A great, powerful cultural level by the artists we bring. Expectations for the future only grow. ”
