Milhares of patrons waited from the early hours of the morning around Autódromo of Interlagos, organizing long queues to guarantee quick access to the spaces closest to the railings of the main stages.

Structure and logistics to welcome the public to Autódromo of Interlagos

The space of more than one million square meters underwent rigorous adaptations to accommodate the assembly of the sound, lighting and scenography megastructures required by the artists’ technical teams. The irregular terrain of the race track, traditionally used for motorsport competitions, requires specific leveling in areas with a large concentration of people, in addition to the installation of modular floors to facilitate movement. The engineering teams worked for weeks on fixing the delay towers, which guarantee the propagation of audio without loss of quality for those following the presentations in more distant areas.

In addition to concerns about acoustics, spatial planning included the creation of decompression zones between the four main stages, avoiding the crossing of massive flows of people during show breaks. Praças decentralized food supplies, medical posts equipped for emergency care and batteries of chemical toilets were distributed symmetrically. Essa disposição visa reduzir o tempo de espera nas filas e manter o conforto dos frequentadores ao longo das mais de doze horas de evento contínuo.

Public mobilization for this specific show started early, with organized groups forming human barriers to maintain their seats from the opening of the gates. The expectation revolves around a performance that uses pyrotechnic resources and costume changes synchronized with the festival’s lighting.

Musical diversity and distribution of attractions on stages

Bloqueios roads were implemented on the surrounding avenues to restrict the circulation of private vehicles, freeing up exclusive lanes for chartered buses, security vehicles and ambulances. The mobility scheme also included pick-up and drop-off pockets for app cars on adjacent streets, with tactile and visual signage to guide pedestrians on the way out. The dispersal strategy, scheduled for the end of the night, involves the extended operation of public transport, ensuring that the crowd can flow gradually and safely after the end of the last song.

Cross-platform streaming for viewers at home

Essa transmission dynamics deliver complementary content to the shows, showing behind the scenes of the production and the immediate reaction of the artists after contact with the Brazilian audience.

Security measures and public monitoring

The event’s operational control center monitors each sector of the racetrack in real time through closed circuit television. Profissionais private security personnel work in conjunction with overt policing in the external area, while teams of brigade members carry out preventive patrols to identify areas of excessive crowding or the need for immediate medical assistance.

Consumption dynamics and available services
