Gop Tun Festival marks 15 years at São Paulo’s Pacaembu, with Nina Kraviz and Ben UFO
The sixth Gop Tun Festival runs on April 9 and 10, 2027, at Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu. The São Paulo dates also mark 15 years of the Gop Tun label and collective. Resident Advisor, Conexão Pop and UOL all report those facts.
The venue sits at Praça Charles Miller. For the first time, the main stage moves outdoors to the stadium Esplanada. That is the area where the old Tobogã stand used to be, Conexão Pop reports.
