The enormous crowd transformed one of S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s major thoroughfares into a vast outdoor dancefloor, with fans gathering across the surrounding streets to watch the superstar DJ perform.<\/p>\n

The scale of the event was extraordinary, with authorities closing major roads as hundreds of thousands of fans packed into the city centre.<\/p>\n

Harris appeared wearing a Brazilian national football team jersey, with the name \u201cCalvinho\u201d printed on the back, as he performed from the moving stage.<\/p>\n
