After uncertainty in Interlagos, São Paulo stadium appears as an alternative for Ye’s event
With the unilateral revocation of the Interlagos Autódromo transfer contract, the Kanye West was left without a defined location in São Paulo. According to an official statement, there is a conflict of interest with a BMW event scheduled for the same day.
In search of a new location, the Pacaembu Stadium appears as the most likely option to receive the rapper, according to the portal’s findings RapMore. The stadium, with a capacity for 40,199 people, has not yet commented. The possibility of canceling the event has not been ruled out if the new location is not approved or made viable in time.
The show was officially announced on July 1, 2025, and then Kanye West confirmed on his social networks that he would perform in São Paulo.
The pre-sale had an impressive response: tickets were sold out in just one hour after the general sale opened, with around 30 thousand tickets sold during this period.
Compared to the Interlagos Racetrack, Pacaembu presents different technical and logistical challenges. Interlagos offers ample space for the stage, team circulation, parking and loading areas, ideal for large shows. Pacaembu, with its urban stadium structure, requires adaptations: limited load, restricted access for heavy assembly and smaller support area. However, its central location and easy access by public transport make it attractive as a viable alternative to holding the event in São Paulo, as long as technical adjustments are made possible.
THE RapMore finds that, although Pacaembu is identified as the most viable option, the decision has not yet been finalized. Until then, uncertainty remains about where the concert will be held.
