The producer Mercury Concerts released on social media, last Tuesday, 22, a list of objects with prohibited entry to the show Guns N’ Roses in São Paulo. The performance is scheduled for next Saturday, the 25th, at Allianz Parque.

Among the items that the public will not be able to bring to the event, one of them caught attention: portable cell phone chargers, also known as power banks. In the comments section of the post, internet users expressed dissatisfaction with the measure, which was not explained by the company.

The case came to the attention of Celso Russomannowhich was also expressed through the networks. In video sent to Marina Caixetareporter for TV Recordthe journalist and law graduate — known for mediating consumer complaints — declared that there are no impediments provided for in Brazilian legislation that prevent power banks from entering shows.

Initially, according to the transcription of the Rolling Stone BrazilRussomanno stated:

“There is nothing in the law that prohibits consumers from taking their charger with their cell phone. Because there are chargers that are part of the cell phone: they are those cases that hug the cell phone, while others are independent. One way or another, Allianz Parque or the event organizer has to explain why they are preventing chargers from entering. And if the security response is not convincing, the consumer can, yes, bring their cell phone charger and charge your cell phone.”

The journalist then added:

“Especially because payments and things that need to be done and the presentation of the digital ticket, so it has to have a battery, it has to comply with the organizer’s requirements, so they cannot prevent the consumer from taking their charger.”

Guns N’ Roses shows in Brazil

Guns N’ Roses hits five cities with their new tour “Because What You Want and What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things” (“Because what you want and what you will get are two completely different things”). After Florianópolis (visited on 21/10), they play in São Paulo (25/10, at Allianz Parque), Curitiba (28/10, at Pedreira Paulo Leminski), Cuiabá (31/10, at Arena Pantanal) and Brasília (02/11, at Arena BRB Mané Garrincha). The capital of Mato Grosso even receives them for the first time.

For all dates, the Raimundos will be the opening attraction. Formed today by Digão (voice and guitar), Marquim (guitar), Caio Cunha (battery) and Jean Moura (bass), the group released their ninth studio album, XXX, in May.

Guns N’ Roses haven’t been to Brazil since 2022, when they played at the Rock in Rio festival and went on a long solo tour. The new visit will be the first with the drummer Isaac Carpenter (former member of Awolnation, Loaded, Loudermilk and other projects), replacing Frank Ferrer, who left after 19 years of service.

After spending 2024 off the stage, GN’R recently returned with a tour of Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

In addition to Isaac Carpenter, Guns currently features Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (guitar), Richard Fortus (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), Dizzy Reed (keyboards) and Melissa Reese (keyboards and synthesizers).
