Helloween: spectacular world tour finale in São Paulo

Author Benedetta Baldin - 22.9.2026

Helloween brought their world tour to a close on Saturday with a wildly acclaimed show at the sold-out Suhai venue in São Paulo.

Under the banner of their “40 Years Anniversary”, this German power metal institution thrilled fans across the globe—from major arenas in Europe, North America, and Asia to Latin America—complemented by appearances at Europe’s most significant summer festivals in 2026.

The tour was far more than just a series of high-energy concerts: Helloween took fans on a musical journey through 40 years of band history. Featuring a setlist that spanned everything from early, defining tracks and all the fan favorites to brand-new material from their current album *Giants & Monsters*, the show combined hits from every era, delighting fans across generations.

Visually, too, the show set new benchmarks, elevating the standard of modern metal productions. The elaborate stage show, combined massive screens, spectacular lighting and video effects, pyrotechnics, and a carefully especially crafted production design into a comprehensive audiovisual experience that underscored the music and showcased the band members in impressive fashion.

Helloween played in sold-out arenas before tens of thousands of fans—including the largest headlining show in the band’s history in Mexico City and the O2 Arena in Prague —and captivated international audiences on major European festival stages. In total, the world tour took the band through 28 countries across three continents, reaching an audience of over one million people.

From the tour’s kickoff in Europe to the final concerts in Latin America, Helloween‘s extraordinary enduring appeal was once again evident: songs like “Eagle Fly Free,” “Future World,” “Dr. Stein,” and “I Want Out” have made history and are essential parts of the metal soundtrack.

The “40 Years Anniversary” tour concludes with the concert in São Paulo. However, Helloween’s journey is far from over! The story of this exceptional septet is far from fully told, and major festivals for the summer of 2027 are already booked!
