Rock in Rio Brasil

Rock in Rio Brasil has taken place in Rio de Janeiro since 1985, usually on a biennial basis at the purpose built Cidade do Rock site. Originally conceived as a rock festival, it has broadened its lineup to include pop, electronic and Latin music across multiple stages, drawing both international headliners and Brazilian acts. It ranks among the largest music gatherings in the world, remembered for early editions featuring Queen, AC/DC and Iron Maiden.
