The Puro live in concert in São Paulo yesterday

October 21, 2022  |  9 Comments  |  by Axl  |  Noel Hogan

The Puro gave their first ever concert yesterday in São Paulo at Rockambole opening for the band Leela. The Puro playing at 21:30 and Leela at 22:30

This was the only concert planned in Brazil for now. Noel Hogan was on acoustic guitar, Mell Peck on vocals (and sometimes on guitar as well) and a third guy named Binho on keyboards and accordion (!!)

A more or less 55-min show originally planned with 9 songs including a new one (The Cure) and 2 Cranberries covers (Shattered, Zombie) but in fact 10 songs were played due to a real encore not appearing on the setlist sheet. If anyone knows which song was added, please let us know!
EDIT: the 10th song was “Além Dos Meus Olhos”

Attendance was possibly 100-150 people in the venue. Not that bad for a first!

  • SETLIST (thanks to Higor Matheus Santos on Instagram)

The Puro published 2 photos of the show on their socials (Instagram, Facebook)

Many photos and videos appeared on socials posted by the fans.

The band Leela published a photo with Noel and Mell on Instagram

Note that Cranberries Brasil published a lot of small videos on their Instagram Stories available for 1 day only and one fan, Caroline Santos Lacerda, filmed almost two third of the show live on Instagram from the balcony on the right. Special thanks to her, you rock!

Noel Hogan arrived in Brazil almost a week before the show and rehearsed with the band since Monday 17 October. Noel and Mell also gave a few interviews on local media. Photos were published on the band’s socials during the whole week.
