This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Casper Libero chapter.

When Brazilian fans said “come to Brazil” they didn’t expect that all artists would want to come at the same time. However, after so many requests, the musicians didn’t take it as a joke, so check out this list so you don’t miss the chance to meet your favorite singer or band in 2023!

1. COLDPLAY

With three cities confirmed (São Paulo, Curitiba and Rio de Janeiro), Coldplay returns to Brazil after performing at Rock in Rio. The band’s shows were meant to be in October 2022, however, vocalist Chris Martin suffered a lung infection and was unable to sing.

With the rescheduling of the dates, the venue where they would perform in São Paulo was changed and, to the happiness of the fans, new dates were defined so that those who could not get the ticket had a chance.

The British band will be in Brazil on the days 10, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18, 21, 22, 25, 26 and 28 of March.
