Jorge e Mateus, the beloved sertanejo duo, have announced their farewell concert as part of a special tour to celebrate 20 years of their remarkable career. The highly anticipated concert will take place on October 11 at the Expotrade Convention Center located in Curitiba, promising fans an unforgettable evening of music and memories.
This concert marks not only the anniversary of Jorge e Mateus but also the beginning of their hiatus, as the duo intends to take a break from their grueling schedule of performances. The announcement has stirred excitement and nostalgia among fans, eager to witness the artistry of Jorge e Mateus once more before they step back to focus on personal projects.
The ticket sales for this momentous event were opened on October 6, and the response was immediate. Different tiers of tickets were available, ranging from the arena at R$120 (for half-price) to the Premium Open Bar ticket at R$700. Fans rushed to secure their spots, indicating the immense love and support for the duo, underscoring their lasting impact on Brazilian music.
Unfortunately, within less than an hour, tickets for the more affordable options—including the arena and the Camarote Frontstage—had sold out. The only tickets left were for the Premium Open Bar section priced at R$700 plus fees, stirring voices of frustration among fans who felt the process was unfair. One fan lamented, "É muito triste, acho que eles não voltam mais para Curitiba e o site simplesmente não abria para comprar os ingressos. Quando consegui entrar já estava tudo esgotado. Eles trocaram os lotes em minutos, isso não está certo," expressing disappointment over her missed opportunity to see the duo live.
Despite the challenges faced during ticket procurement, Jorge e Mateus have been consistently celebrated as one of Brazil’s leading sertanejo acts. Rising to fame through their powerful vocals and engaging performances, the duo sparked popular hits such as “Pode Chorar,” “Amo Noite e Dia,” “Sosseguei,” and “Todo Seu.” Their musical prowess has won them numerous accolades and solidified their place within the hearts of millions.
Beginning their career back in 2005, Jorge e Mateus released their first CD/DVD titled "Ao Vivo Em Goiânia" by 2007, which became both commercially successful and critically acclaimed. Their first major hit, “Pode Chorar,” rocked the airwaves, resulting in the duo achieving their first gold certification, marking the genesis of their impressive two-decade-long career.
Throughout their years of performances, Jorge e Mateus have showcased their incredible range and versatility at major festivals and rodeos, consistently breaking attendance records and drawing massive crowds eager to enjoy their music live. Their 20th-anniversary tour is expected to mirror this trend, spreading joy across 24 cities; impressive ticket sales affirm their enduring popularity, particularly as many shows have already sold out.
On the night of the show at Expotrade, Jorge e Mateus will offer fans the chance to relive their extensive catalog of chart-topping songs. The concert sets itself apart with impressive production, blending modern visual effects with the authentic sertanejo sound fans have come to love over the years.
With their emotional ballads and well-crafted energetic songs, the concert won't just serve as entertainment; it will weave together the stories behind the duo’s hits, bringing to life the experiences and eras of fans who have followed Jorge e Mateus throughout the years.
Though the duo prepares to step back, this farewell concert promises to be both a celebration of their accomplishments and an opportunity for fans to show their appreciation for the music they love. The farewell concert embodies the culmination of twenty years of hard work, talent, and connection with their audience.
Everything points toward the concert being not just another show, but rather the final chapter of a long-favored story—a tale filled with laughter, joy, and lasting bonds shared through music. Despite the sadness of change, there’s hope for the future as both Jorge and Mateus have vowed to continue creating music and pursuing personal projects after their break.
The excitement continues to build as October 11 approaches, with fans eagerly anticipating the chance to witness the magic of Jorge e Mateus once more. The farewell concert stands as not just the end of one era, but the beginning of another chapter full of possibilities.
