Lady Gaga is making a triumphant return to Brazil after more than a decade, headlining a massive free concert on Copacabana Beach on May 3.
The event coincides with the release of her highly anticipated new album in March and is part of the “Todo Mundo no Rio” initiative, an effort to boost tourism and economic growth in the city.
Copacabana has a legendary history of record-breaking concerts: Madonna brought in 1.6 million fans in 2024, The Rolling Stones drew 1.5 million in 2006, and Rod Stewart set the all-time record with 3.5 million in 1994.
This concert holds the record for the largest free audience in history.
