American Popstar performs on Saturday to over 1.6 million people in one of the greatest events ever held in the state capital
The singer Lady Gaga is already on Brazilian soil. She arrived in Rio de Janeiro in the early hours of Tuesday 29 April, directly to what she promises to be the greatest show of her career.
The presentation is scheduled for this Saturday 3 May on the sands of the iconic Praia de Copacabana. Free and large production, the event should attract about 1.6 million people, as estimated by the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro.
Gaga, who is currently 39, was captured at Tom Jobim international airport, Galeão, in images that show the artist within a car, surrounded by fans who try to approach.
The intense movement on the site was the prefiguration of the grandeur surrounding the show “Mayhem on the beach”, part of the tour of his latest album “Mayhem”, published in early March.
This will be the fifth show of the New World Tour of the singer, who passed the two phases of the week in Coachella, California, and two complete performances in Mexico City.
The performance of Copacabana will so far be the largest audience of Lady Gaga’s career, which also exceeds the records established by other main international stars on Brazilian soil, such as Beyoncé and Madonna.
The stage has attracted attention since the start of the assembly on the Carioca promenade. Gigantic structures, state -of audio and lighting systems and a large safety scheme are prepared to ensure that the show occurs without unexpected events.
According to Bernardo Fellow, president of Riotur, all the planning was built on the basis of the experience gained during the Madonna megashow in May 2024. Fellow said that there were specific adjustments, but the overall operation follows molds similar to that event, with a strong integration between public agencies.
The presentation program should start at 21:45 and should extend until 0:15. Although many fans have hypothesized on social networks the participation of national artists such as Anitta, Ludmilla, Pabllo Vittar and Liniker, the opening attractions will be guided by DJs.
The choice was made in line with the visual and musical concept of the current career phase of Gaga.
Lady Gaga: global expectation and multimedia transmission
The impact of the arrival of Lady Gaga in Brazil also reverberate internationally. The show will be broadcast on TV Globo, MultiShow Channel and Streaming Globeplay Platform.
According to information issued by the editorialist Gabriel Vaquer, of Portal F5, the transmission will take place with a small delay of eight to ten minutes, at the request of the singer herself, in a decision that is still evaluated by the station.
In the meantime, the movement of the fans in front of the hotel has begun where the artist is starting. The admirers meet to record moments and vibrate with the presence of the star, which promises an apotheotic presentation in the capital of the state.
In addition to the show, the weekend in the city will be marked by other actions inspired by the artist, such as fashion shows with costumes that honor the surprising aesthetic of Lady Gaga.
The special operation of the city begins on May 2 and will continue until the end of the event, the 4. The plan includes traffic interceptions, strengthening of public transport and particular attention to public safety. Everything to ensure that the star of the star is truly memorable.
Lady Gaga arrives in Brazil not only to sing, but to write a new page in the history of international pop music. Copacabana is about to transform into a real phase of artistic and cultural celebration.
