In 1993, Michael Jackson drew a crowd of 210,000 fans to Morumbi Stadium. Now, his classics echo once again at MASP in a special tribute

In October 1993, São Paulo came to a standstill to welcome the King of Pop on his Dangerous World Tour. Reports from that time indicate that approximately 210,000 fans passed through Morumbi Stadium to witness two historic performances. More than three decades later, audiences have the opportunity to revisit this musical universe in a different way: at “Candlelight: A Tribute to Michael Jackson,” his greatest hits are reimagined as instrumental versions, performed by the light of thousands of candles.

From “Billie Jean” to “Heal the World”: the classics get a new take

More than just an artist, Michael Jackson was one of the figures who redefined pop music. With his unmistakable choreography, groundbreaking music videos, and a string of hits that conquered the world, he became an icon for generations of artists and fans.

Some songs need no introduction. Just hear the opening chords of Billie Jean to recognize one of the greatest hits of his career. Now, these compositions take on a new dimension in instrumental versions that highlight melodies, harmonies, and details that might go unnoticed in the original recordings.

The set list features songs beloved by fans, such as “Bad,” “Billie Jean,” “Smooth Criminal,” “Heal the World,” “Man in the Mirror,” and “Remember the Time.”
