Live review: Brazilian star Luan Santana closes his European tour with a stellar show at OVO Arena Wembley
Luan Santana brings his Ao Vivo Na Lua tour to a dazzling finale at Wembley.
On a chilly November night in London, Luan Santana brought the heat to London's OVO Arena Wembley.
The Brazilian pop star closed the European leg of his Ao Vivo Na Lua tour in the British capital on Sunday night (02.11.25) and poked fun at the weather.
“Wow, they told me to bring a coat to London”, he laughed shortly after performing the first song of the night. “But you guys are making it feel hot in here.”
The setlist traced his evolution, from early hits like Meteoro and Te Esperando to the polished sounds of Dona, Clone and Chuva ou Choro, from his most recent project Ao Vivo Na Lua.
Each song landed like a reminder of how seamlessly Luan bridges eras of Brazilian pop, from the teenage sertanejo phenomenon who sang about love under the stars to the global pop performer standing in Wembley.
One of the night’s loudest moments came with Olho Marrom, his current chart-topper, when the audience took over completely, with voices drowning out even the sound coming from the stage.
Between songs, Luan joked with the crowd, interacted with fans, and told stories about the origin of his songs.
It wasn’t the only time emotion caught him off guard. More than once, he paused to thank fans who had travelled from across Europe.
The European leg had been a whirlwind of sold-out crowds and long ovations. The London stop proved Brazilian music - across genres - can fill international stages with the same emotion it evokes at home.
Adding to the excitement, two special guests were spotted in the crowd - Premier League footballers Gabriel Martinelli and João Pedro. Midway through the show, Luan gave them a playful shout-out from the stage, the crowd erupting once again in cheers.
Visually, Ao Vivo Na Lua was cinematic. The stage glowed with moonlit tones, smoke curling around beams of light and multiple visuals of planets, galaxies, and rocket ships, as Luan moved from tender ballads to energetic anthems.
Marking his 18th year in music, the Ao Vivo Na Lua tour serves as a milestone in Luan Santana’s already storied career - from his record-breaking debut in 2010 to four Latin Grammy nominations, nearly two decades on.
