Xuxa farewell tour and Paquita dispute

Entities: Nubank Parque (Allianz Parque) · Nubank Parque · Andréa Sorvetão · Xuxa Meneghel · Paquitas

Overview

Xuxa Meneghel opened her farewell tour “O Último Voo da Nave” on 25 July 2026 at São Paulo’s Nubank Parque. The sold‑out show drew more than 50 000 fans and featured the iconic pink spaceship soaring over a 360° stage, high‑tech lighting and choreography inspired by Beyoncé, Michael Jackson and Pink. Celebrities such as Tia Milena, Fernanda Paes Leme, Dani Calabresa and others attended. Xuxa told the audience she was there “to see the joy of the fans, not to sell records.”

Two former Paquitas, Andréa Sorvetão and Bárbara Borges, were absent. Sorvetão said the omission was “political” after a 2021 video in which she described herself as hetero, Christian and traditional; Borges said she was excluded for defending former director Marlene Mattos. Xuxa has maintained that any exclusion reflects homophobia, not politics.

The São Paulo concert was structured into six acts that traced her four‑decade career, from “Xou da Xuxa” to “Lua de Cristal”. The stage centerpiece was an 18‑metre‑high, 50‑metre‑wide spaceship that hovered above the crowd.

The tour will continue to Curitiba, Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro, culminating in a final concert at Rio’s Maracanã that will be broadcast by Globo and Multishow.
