The story

Bangers Open Air is a festival taking place in São Paulo, Brazil, scheduled for April 24-25, 2027. The venue is Memorial da América Latina. It showcases various metal bands, featuring a lineup that includes Quiet Riot, Wet, and Lacuna Coil among others. The atmosphere is characterized by a diverse range of performances from different artists within the metal genre.

Bangers Open Air is a 2-day heavy metal, gothic metal, folk metal, melodic death metal festival at Memorial da América Latina in São Paulo, Brazil. The April 2027 edition runs 24–25 Apr 2027.

Announced so far: Blaze Bayley, Claustrofobia, Eluveitie, Floor Jansen, KANONENFIEBER, KK's Priest, Lacuna Coil and Metal Church and 6 more. Expect stages split between Heavy Metal, Gothic Metal, Folk Metal and Melodic Death Metal. The line-up is spread across the 2 festival days, so a full-weekend ticket is the only way to catch every name.

Everything happens at Memorial da América Latina, in São Paulo. São Paulo is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

Bangers Open Air keeps the same calendar slot each year: April 2027 for this edition, opening on a Saturday and closing on a Sunday. It falls in spring, ahead of the summer festival rush, which usually keeps travel cheaper than the July and August dates. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in São Paulo are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Multiple notable acts including Quiet Riot and Lacuna Coil
• Held at Memorial da América Latina in São Paulo
• Scheduled over two days, from April 24 to April 25, 2027

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to Bangers Open Air works out at roughly €1,284 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a higher-budget weekend, mostly because of the travel leg.

The ticket is only 2% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is air · 16h 34m each way, at €1,140 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Bangers Open Air are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 3 nights rather than 2: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Bangers Open Air on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris

• The site itself is Memorial da América Latina, in São Paulo.
• Book a bed in São Paulo early — rooms around a festival sell out before the last ticket tier does.
