WHERE: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
WHEN: from 02 to 11 September 2022
“I realized that the weapons I have to make the world a little better are music and the festival. That’s what I can do well“. Roberto Medina (Rock founder in Rio)
One of the most complete musical experiences in the world.
One of the largest outdoor concerts you can attend in your life.
Over a million presences only at the first edition, dated 1985.
20 historic editions, starting from Rio de Janeiro, and passing through Las Vegas, Madrid and Lisbon.
A festival from which artists like Freddy Mercury and Queen have passed. The Iron Maiden and the Guns’n Roses. Metallic. Just to name a few.
This is Rock in Rio, extraordinary musical event that probably has no equivalent to the world.
A brand born in Brazil, which right in Rio de Janeiro, in 2022, returns after and years to celebrate its number IX edition.
In Rio, the festival has always had great follow-up. After the first 3 editions of 1985, 1991 and 2001, the brand was also exported to Europe and, on a two-year cadence, took place in Lisbon.
Today, the event embraces different musical genres, no longer linked exclusively to rock, such as pop, techno, commercial music. You will find the most disparate international artists for even memorable concerts.
Music. But also environment and sustainability … for a better world (as indicated i in the logo). And Live Amazonia is the initiative that reflects its values, aiming to re-enable, preserving the water and biodiversity of the Amazon forest. With a contribution starting from 6.50$R, in fact, you can place a tree.
