Singer Carina Assencio performs tonight at Blue Note São Paulo in a tribute marking 50 years since Elis Regina’s 1976 album “Falso Brilhante.” Doors open at 7 p.m.; the seated show begins at 8 p.m. The club is on the second floor of Conjunto Nacional, at Avenida Paulista, 2073.
It’s one of several choices on a busy Thursday, October 1, 2026. Concerts, comedy and a DVD launch are also on the city’s programme. Election Sunday falls on October 4, just three days away, but the schedule hasn’t changed: rooms are full, prices are normal and spring weather is mild.
What’s on, and what it costs
Tickets for the Blue Note tribute are available on the club’s website or through Eventim. João Suplicy takes the stage for a second set at 10:30 p.m., playing Beatles and Elvis. The article estimates that drinks cost about R$50, or US$9.65, per person at Blue Note, with lower prices at standing venues. It calculates that figure using the Banco Central PTAX closing sell rate for Wednesday, September 30: R$5.1809 to US$1.
At Villa Country, Duda Bertelli, described as a sertanejo singer, launches and records a new DVD. The large country-music venue is at Avenida Francisco Matarazzo 774 in Barra Funda. The event starts at 11:30 p.m., according to the listing, and tickets are on Ticket360. In Vila Olímpia, Manifesto hosts a covers night featuring Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead songs at Rua Ramos Batista 207.
Comedy fans can catch a Portuguese-language double bill at My F Comedy Club on Alameda Santos, about 100 metres from the Trianon-Masp metro. Stand Up Raiz starts at 7:30 p.m. Festivalzão follows at 9:30 p.m. In greater São Paulo, beach-themed Villa Beach in Francisco Morato lists its Thursday club night, Quinta Secreta, with Iguinho CT and Mãe De Pet.
The listings also include Os Barbapapas at JazzB, Rua General Jardim 43, in República, at 9 p.m. Getúlio Abelha plays “Forrozão” at Casa de Francisca, Rua Quintino Bocaiúva 22, in Sé, at 9:30 p.m.
Getting there, and what you owe
Getting home takes some planning. The metro runs until around midnight, while Avenida Paulista stays lit and busy past midnight. For late trips to and from Barra Funda and Villa Olímpia, the article recommends door-to-door rideshare; once the trains stop, riders have to pay out of pocket.
The article also flags a charge many diners and concertgoers may not know they can refuse. Seated venues usually add about 10% as serviço. Brazilian law makes the charge optional, and customers can ask staff to remove it. The five main venues mentioned accept cards and Pix.
Early-October nights in São Paulo typically range from 16°C (61°F) to 25°C (77°F).
Why This Matters: A night out in São Paulo offers a small window into how the city shares public life. The listings range from jazz and forró to sertanejo, stand-up and rock, with several venues near transit or on Avenida Paulista. Access, though, narrows in the details. The metro stops around midnight, and late trips can bring rideshare fares. Drinks at a seated club cost about R$50, while the optional 10% serviço only helps people who know they can decline it. From a center-left view, clear consumer rights and reliable late-night transit determine who gets to take part. Election Sunday is three days away, yet the city’s cultural life carries on as usual, with a tribute to one of Brazil’s best-known voices on the bill.
