Guns N’ Roses Show Paralyzes Campo Grande Traffic After 13-Kilometer Jam

Overview

• Traffic to the Autódromo Internacional Orlando Moura, which gridlocked Thursday, stretched more than 13 kilometers and pushed the concert’s start from 8:30 p.m. to about 10 p.m.
• With cars barely moving, many fans left vehicles and walked more than 10 kilometers along BR-262 to reach the gates.
• A 36-year-old ride-hail driver selling water collapsed at the entrance and died, and his wife said congestion delayed the fire service by more than an hour.
• After the show ended around 12:40 a.m., a drive that normally takes about 12 minutes took up to five hours, with backups lingering into the morning.
• The federal highway police barred trucks but later pointed to organizational flaws—one real access to parking, slow QR-code checks, late parking opening, and scant signs—while the city offered no special buses and consumer advocates explained how to seek refunds.
