We report in this paper spectroscopic and photometric analysis of eight massive stars observed during Campaign 8 of the Kepler/K2 mission from 2016 January to March. Spectroscopic data were obtained on these stars at OPD/LNA, Brazil, and their stellar parameters determined using SME. Periodic analyses of the light curves were performed through CLEANEST and PERIOD04 algorithms. Mass, luminosity, and radius of our stars were estimated employing CESAM + POSC grids. Three of our stars show significant periodicity. K2 ID 220679442 and K2 ID 220532854 have periods linked to the stellar rotation. K2 ID 220532854 has prominent silicon lines (Si II 4128-4131 Å), a characteristic presented in the peculiar class of Ap magnetic main-sequence stars. However, in our spectral analysis, this object was found to be an evolved, luminous giant star. K2 ID 220466722 was revealed to be a δ Scuti variable, and 40 individual frequencies were determined for this star. No significant periodicity was found in the light curves for the remaining stars analysed in this work, besides the instrumental one.
