Is Candlelight Coldplay & Imagine Dragons worth attending?
The repertoire brings together two hugely popular acts and works well for anyone who enjoys contemporary pop and rock but wants to experience the songs in an intimate instrumental setting.
A point to note: Fever states that entry is not permitted after the performance begins. Since seating is first come, first served within each zone, arriving early also gives you more choice of seats.
It is a tribute concert; the artists being honored are not involved and do not endorse it.

Tickets: zones, categories, and arrival
Fever organizes the audience by zones. You choose your zone when purchasing your ticket, but seating within that zone is first come, first served.
The feed consulted showed several price ranges by zone and category, with an initial reference price of R$ 71,00. Use this amount only as a starting point.
The Social Entryoption, when available, can be purchased without specific documentation and includes a donation of R$ 10 to Instituto Hatus, as stated by Fever.
How to get to Museu do Amanhã
Museu do Amanhã is located at Praça Mauá, 1, in Centro. The museum’s official recommendation is to take VLT Line 1 and get off at Parada dos Museus, about 200 meters from the entrance.
VLT
This is the simplest way to reach Praça Mauá without relying on parking.
Metro
The Uruguaiana station is one of the options recommended by Museu do Amanhã. Depending on where you are coming from, you can walk from there or combine the journey with the VLT.
Train and ferries
Those arriving via Central do Brasil can connect to the VLT. Ferries from Niterói arrive at Praça XV, from where you can continue through the city center.
Car
Museu do Amanhã states that it does not have its own parking. There are private parking lots nearby, but for timed events, public transportation usually reduces the risk of delays.

Safety tips for Praça Mauá
Praça Mauá is an important tourist and cultural area, but things change considerably once the daytime crowds thin out. For evening sessions, it is best to avoid improvising your journey home.
- Decide in advance whether you will take the VLT, a taxi, or a ride-hailing app.
- Avoid standing on the sidewalk with your phone out while deciding on your route.
- Wait for your ride-hailing car in a busy area, and check the license plate and driver.
- If you are unfamiliar with Centro at night, opt for short, direct journeys.
- If you are traveling in a group, agree on a meeting point before entering the concert.

Practical tips for making the most of the experience
| Tip | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Arrive early | Entry is not permitted after the performance begins, and seats are not numbered within the zone. |
| Open your ticket before leaving | This avoids having to search for an email or open the app at the door. |
| Plan your journey home | Especially important for evening sessions in Centro. |
| Bring a light jacket | Indoor venues may have strong air conditioning. |
| Confirm accessibility | If you have specific requirements, check the conditions before purchasing. |
