O Maior Encontro do Samba brings Zeca Pagodinho, Alcione and Jorge Aragão together on a tour across seven Brazilian capitals. The itinerary listed by Eventim totals nine performances: one in Rio de Janeiro, three in São Paulo and one in each of the other five capitals. As of September 17, 2026, the Rio show and the two June dates in São Paulo had already taken place; the remaining schedule starts in Brasília on October 3 and ends in Salvador on December 19.

The current schedule is available on Eventim's special event page. Zeca Pagodinho's official schedule also lists the upcoming tour dates on his shows page.
What a joint tour means in this case
This is not simply three individual concerts packaged into one event. The official description says Zeca Pagodinho, Alcione and Jorge Aragão share the stage at the same time, split vocals and perform songs connected to their individual careers as well as samba classics. Pretinho da Serrinha is the musical director and Leninha Brandão is the artistic director.
Eventim also presents Arlindinho canta Arlindo Cruz as the tour's opening attraction, paying tribute to Arlindo Cruz's repertoire. In practical terms, this makes the program broader than the trio's main set, while the core of the show remains the interaction among all three artists on the same stage.
What changes from city to city
The main announced difference is the special guest lineup. Martinho da Vila appears in Rio, São Paulo and Salvador. Brasília hosts Seu Jorge. Curitiba combines Martinho da Vila and Alexandre Pires. Porto Alegre features Péricles. For Belo Horizonte, the Eventim page checked on September 17 did not yet list a guest.
The venue, seating layout and ticket categories also change. Eventim shows different configurations for each city. In Brasília, for example, the page says the available sections are standing areas. In other capitals there are combinations of general admission, premium floor and seated sections. That is why comparing only section names can be misleading: open the official venue map for the city you want and check position, access type and specific rules.
How to compare the shows before choosing
- Start with the date. If travel is the priority, check which weekend reduces transportation costs and time. Among the future dates as of September 17, Brasília is October 3, São Paulo October 31, Curitiba November 7, Porto Alegre November 14, Belo Horizonte November 28 and Salvador December 19.
- Consider the guest. The main show has the same trio, but the extra appearance can change the potential repertoire and the character of the night.
- Compare the venue, not just the city. Stadiums and arenas have different sections, distances and sightlines. Check the official map before choosing between a seat, general admission or premium area.
- Compare the final price. Eventim lists categories such as half-price, social ticket, benefits for Itaú customers and full price, plus packages in some cities. Availability and conditions may change, so compare the final checkout screen for the date you want.
- Check logistics and rules. Gate opening time, age restrictions, access method and ticket rules can vary. For large events, transportation and leaving the stadium are also part of the decision.
Which date fits each type of fan
Anyone who wants to see Seu Jorge with the project should look at Brasília. Those who prefer a night with two announced guests have Curitiba, with Martinho da Vila and Alexandre Pires. For Péricles, the date is Porto Alegre. Salvador closes the tour schedule listed by Eventim with Martinho da Vila. São Paulo offers one upcoming date in a city that already hosted two performances of the project in June.
If venue structure is your main criterion, compare seating maps before buying. If the guest artist matters most, the table above makes it easy to rule out dates that do not match your preference. For Belo Horizonte, the safest approach is to check the official page again before booking travel because the guest had not yet been listed as of September 17.
Where to confirm tickets and possible changes
Use Eventim to check availability, sections, prices, rules and any updates for each performance. The platform warns that it is not responsible for purchases made through unofficial channels. Because dates, venue naming and guest appearances can be updated, the specific event page should be the final reference before buying tickets or traveling.
