After cases of spotted fever, Gusttavo Lima show is transferred in Campinas

The Santa Margarida farm, in Campinas, in the interior of São Paulo, defined, on Thursday (15), that the concert by country singer Gusttavo Lima, which was scheduled to take place at the location, on July 21, will be transferred to the Parque Dom Pedro mall, in the same city.

The change of address was motivated by the fact that the farm, located in the district of Joaquim Egídio (east region of Campinas), was banned after four people died of spotted fever recently after attending a party there on May 27th.

According to the statement from the Santa Margarida farm, the musical performance will be held for July 21, the original date of the event, at 8 pm.
