Primavera Sound São Paulo 2026

Tickets: who sells them and the organiser's listed prices

Ingresse (in Portuguese) sells online. It is the only seller in the organiser's ticket records, and its general sale opened at 12:00 on 28 July 2026. In person, the official box office is Working Title, at Rua Bela Cintra, 1966, Jardim Paulista. It is open Monday to Thursday from 13:00 to 17:00, except on public holidays. Working Title charges no fee. Online, Ingresse adds a 20% booking fee to the total. The promoter's terms also provide for a box office at the circuit on the festival days, which sells only if tickets remain.

There are three kinds of ticket, in the organiser's English. The Full Festival Ticket, or Primavera Pass, gives General Admission on both days. The day ticket, Primavera Day, covers Saturday 5 or Sunday 6 December. VIP is sold by the day. The organiser's ticket records, last updated on 30 July 2026 and read on 24 October 2026, list R$765.45 for the Full Festival Ticket and R$425.25 for a day ticket. Ingresse shows its current tier and its own prices only after you log in. What each ticket covers, Half-Price, buying from abroad and the Portuguese words on Ingresse's pages are on the tickets page.

Two festival days, and three club nights before them

The festival itself runs for two days, Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December 2026. Gates open at 12:30. Entry closes at 22:00, and the day ends at midnight. Ingresse warns that show times may change, and points to the Instagram accounts @bonustrack.live and @primaverasound.saopaulo for official updates. On 24 October 2026 no set times had been published. The organiser gives each act a day and nothing more.

If you have read that the festival runs over more days, that is Primavera na Cidade, "Primavera in the City". It is a separate series of club nights in the same week, with eight acts from the bill. They are on Wednesday 2 December at Cine Joia, Thursday 3 December at Audio and Friday 4 December at Cine Joia again. Ingresse has had all three on general sale since 12:00 on 21 October 2026, with a page for each night. Who plays which night is on the line-up page.

Who plays which day

The organiser lists 20 acts a day, 40 in all. Saturday's list opens with The Strokes, FKA twigs and Lily Allen performing "West End Girl". Sunday's opens with Gorillaz, Arca and Yung Lean. That is the organiser's order, not a running order. When it announced the bill on 11 May 2026, the organiser named Gorillaz and The Strokes as headliners. Every name, day by day, is on the line-up page.

Getting to Interlagos

The address is Av. Senador Teotônio Vilela, 261, Interlagos, São Paulo – SP, 04801-010. The circuit's official name is Autódromo José Carlos Pace, and the organiser's English calls it the Interlagos Circuit. Open in maps · The circuit's website (in Portuguese)

Trains on Line 9-Esmeralda, which ViaMobilidade runs, stop at Autódromo (in Portuguese). The operator describes it as near the circuit, and its entrance A is at Rua Plínio Schmidt, 307. On 24 October 2026 neither the organiser nor the operator had published the station's hours on the festival days, extra trains or parking. The trains from Guarulhos airport, and the lines that meet Line 9, are on the dates and venue page.

What to bring, and what to leave behind

Everyone is searched at the entrance, and anything on the prohibited list is thrown away. There is no cloakroom, according to the promoter's terms, so what you bring stays with you all day. Once you leave, you cannot come back in, unless you hold another valid ticket for the same day.

Ingresse's selling rules say you show the ticket in the Ingresse app at the gate, with an official photo ID. The app's QR code keeps changing, and Ingresse's help centre says a screenshot is not accepted. So bring your phone, with the app on it, and your ID.

You may bring in food only if it is sealed and factory-made, such as biscuits, crisps or cereal bars, up to five items a person. Fruit must be cut up and carried in a clear, soft pack. You may also bring water in single-serve plastic cups or bottles, but without the cap. Security may take a cap off at the entrance or anywhere on site. The terms promise drinking-water points for the public.

The promoter's list of prohibited items, a PDF in Portuguese, and its terms rule out, among other things:

• bags or rucksacks larger than 20 × 30 cm
• umbrellas of any size, and selfie sticks
• any other drink, in any container, alcohol included
• e-cigarettes, vapes and e-liquids, and aerosols and sprays of any kind
• medicines without a prescription
• professional cameras with interchangeable lenses, video cameras, recorders, tablets, laptops, walkie-talkies and other large electronic equipment
• chairs and stools, polystyrene boxes, cool boxes and other storage containers, tents, and flags on poles
• drones and anything else that flies, skateboards, bicycles and any other vehicle, motorised or not, and helmets
• glass, metal or hard plastic objects that could cause harm, and sharp objects such as pens, scissors, nail clippers and razors
• weapons, tasers and knuckle-dusters, illegal drugs, and anything flammable or corrosive
• laser pointers, strobe lights and other light-emitting devices, fireworks and flares, and megaphones and horns
• metal hand fans, and heavy chains, belts and pendants

• ambush-marketing items, and shirts, flags or signs with unauthorised commercial or discriminatory content
• animals, except guide dogs with identification
• recording or broadcasting the festival, in sound or on video

It is a thorough list. It even covers juggling.
