Names such as Luísa Sonza, Belo and Iza end their performances on Saturday and alternative programming becomes a solution to the public
The time when the dawn of Cultural Virada de São Paulo It was the most contested moment of the event. If in previous years the great artists performed during the early hours of Sunday, in 2025 it was different: Luísa Sonza, Beautiful, Iza AND Duda Beat They finished their shows on Saturday 24, before 23 hours.
The posture of the organization is new and divided the opinion of the public. If for a few times the previous times give a greater sense of safety and are more comfortable, for others the new guideline ends against what the cultural turn has always represented. Or worse, empty the city center in what should be the most crowded night of the year.
“There are many people who do not live in the center of San Paolo and do not come here or people who live here and do not know the rest of the city. Going to a new place at dawn is complicated, the new time allows people to meet the city and go home,” said psychologist Hélio de Souza, 42.
Engineer Lilian Pereira, 40 years old, does not see the change welcome. “In 2018, I remember seeing hemicide at 4 in the morning. At the time I had fun. The negative thing is that when the show ends soon, the person soon goes to the shift. It is an implicit way to end the cultural turning point of dawn. Everyone goes to dispersion after the show and departing. Without attractions, people will not stay on the street,” he said.
Most of the 21 phases scattered throughout the city were empty throughout the morning, but the Anangabaú valley continued to receive attractions such as the Senegalese group Orchestra Baobab and the Argentine group La Delio Valdez. In similar times last year, however, the attractions were Pabllo Vittar and Djonga.
There is a huge difference between the popularity of the options, which made the main empty stage in the early hours. The sense of security, however, remained during the event. Hundreds of people crossed the center of Sao Paulo early in the morning and there were no important problems.
For those who still wanted to go out during the turn, there were options. In the same valley of Anhangabaú, the intervals of the main shows on the stage received the rhythm of the music and the parallel remix of the crocodile equipment.
The performance, which mixes the tradition, technology and the largest shots of Pará in a single show, were led by DJ Marlon Beats and attracted attention from an unusual component – a 9 -meter long crocodile and about 3 meters high.
Absolute success in Pará, this is the first time that the equipment performed in San Paolo. To get to the capital, a 22 -meter trailer crossed the country with the metal animal to perform the cultural Virada.
Known for its eclectic setlist, the Crocodrillo Tudão has played rhythms such as Crazy Rock, Melody, Funk, Stamp, Meringue and Lamba and, of course, the already traditional Tecnobres versions of national and international pop blows. Names such as Gaby Amarantos, Viviane Baitonde, Jaloo and Electro Gang made special apparitions during the breaks.
Classical music, stand-up and parties
One of the most disputed attractions of the round, however, occurred in an uncomfortable environment for the holidays: the monastery of Santo. At the shift from Saturday to Sunday, the director João Carlos Martins ruled the Bachian Orchestra to an audience of about a thousand people.
According to the organization of the event, the line to enter the sacred site began at 21 hours and continued after the start of the concert. On the recommendation of the firefighters, the number of people who were able to enter the scene were limited, which frustrated the over 100 people who waited outside.
While some people were leaving, however, people in line were admitted by the organization. There were no places to sit and most of the audience had to stand. A new presentation of the orchestra was held at 3 in the morning, but without João Carlos Martins.
Another attraction that attracted the attention of the public was the stage next to the Copan building in the Republic, which received a dozen comedians standing all morning. The attraction, which decided to receive 24 hours of comedy along the round, received names such as Marcelo Brown, Igor Guimarães and Nando Vianna during the early hours of Sunday.
Finally, the already traditional parts of the Night of San Paolo also received special editions for the Cultural Virada. On the Pista della Repubblica, the Subout! He delivered almost six hours from Reggaeton. Aurora’s track and Arouche’s track, respectively, received brick and wild parties.
