Brazilian Carnival: Gustavo Andrade & The Brasukas + Zagotinho do Acordeon + Bacana

The heartbeat of Brazil arrives in Manchester. On this special night, Band on the Wall transforms into a temple of rhythm, joy, and passion — a place where the warmth of Rio meets the soul of the city.

Let yourself be carried away by the irresistible sounds of Gustavo Andrade & The Brasukas, joined by the one and only Zagotinho do Acordeon. Their music pulses with life — samba, forró, and bossa that make the body sway and the spirit dance.

Caipirinhas in hand, smiles in every corner, love and laughter in the air — this is Carnival. The songs you know, the rhythms you feel, the night you’ll never forget.

More than a concert, it’s a celebration of life, of love, of the beautiful chaos that makes us dance together. Come dressed in colour, bring your best energy, and surrender to the rhythm.

The Carnival begins here.
