The mayor of Cariacica, a city in Espírito Santo, Euclério Sampaio , criticized the way Guns N' Roses publicized information about the show scheduled to take place at the Kleber Andrade Stadium, in the Greater Vitória Metropolitan Region.
The band listed the venue as belonging to the city of Vitória, which the manager described as a "disrespect" to the municipality that officially houses the stadium. Annoyed by what he considered a repeated and negligent error, Euclério stated that he may block the event's authorization if the band's team does not correct the information.
In a statement shared by A Gazeta , the mayor said [via IgorMirandaSite ]:
“The Kleber Andrade Stadium belongs to the state government, but it's the city hall that issues the permit for the show. This is disrespectful to Cariacica. If they want to do the show in the capital, they should do it at Vitória's stadium in Bento Ferreira, not in Cariacica. Those who disrespect the city of Cariacica will not have our support. And just because it's a band from the United States doesn't mean we'll back down. If they want confrontation, they'll get it. If necessary, I'll send the Municipal Guard to surround the stadium so the show doesn't take place.”
According to the mayor, the mistake undermines the identity of Cariacica, which for years has strived to establish the Kleber Andrade Stadium as a leading sports and cultural facility in Espírito Santo. He emphasized that the municipal administration hopes that major artists will recognize and respect this reality when promoting their performances.
After the incident, Frederico Rezende , owner of Fatto Entreter , the production company responsible for the show, confirmed that "there was a failure in the main announcement," but that the location is correct in all other media. "We emphasized and publicized that it will be in Cariacica, Espírito Santo. We have the utmost affection and respect for you and the city. You can be sure that this error will not happen again," as reported by the Folha Vitória .
