On May 2, through its social networks, the producer Live Nation made the official announcement of the presentations. Initially, four shows were announced: October 4 in Rio de Janeiro, October 8th and 9th in São Paulo and October 17 in Brasília. Due to high demand, all four announced shows were sold out in less than 1 hour, which led the producer to subsequently announce 4 more performances: October 5 in Rio de Janeiro, October 12th and 13th in São Paulo and October 18 in Brasília.[22][23]
