The Galeria do Rock brought five bands to play at Largo do Paissandu last Sunday, the 21st. This event took place as part of the São Paulo city hall's Open Streets project, which closed Avenida São João to vehicles. Similar to what happens on Avenida Paulista, the idea is to attract crowds on weekends, which would help revitalize this central area.
“The building’s mezzanine should be used as a stage in the future. It overlooks São João Avenue,” pointed out businessman Antonio Souza Neto, also known as “Toninho da Galeria do Rock,” in an interview with Band News . Toninho helped revitalize the space and attract businesses and the public back to the location. The idea for this stage would be to bring in up-and-coming bands to perform for the public.
Basement bar opens in February
Bar da Galeria , with a rock-inspired theme, will open in February of this year. The space was designed so that employees and patrons can stop and enjoy the atmosphere inspired by São Paulo's iconic gallery.
The Galeria do Rock, with its 450 shops, is already a must-see for anyone wanting to learn more about musical and alternative culture. The building, constructed in 1962, has iconic architecture that is now part of the city's tourist itinerary. It's located in the República neighborhood and has one entrance on Rua 24 de Maio, 62, and another on Av. São João, 439.
For this year, the Gallery's agenda promises several attractions aimed at attracting its loyal audience and providing a diverse and welcoming environment for new visitors.
