Lady Gaga delivered a night to remember on May 3, as she performed a free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, drawing a massive crowd of over 2.1 million fans. The event marked the launch of Todo Mundo no Rio, an initiative by Bonus Track and Corona to spotlight entertainment in the city.
Gaga’s electrifying performance, broadcast live in Brazil on Multishow and TV Globo, solidified her status as a global pop icon while celebrating the release of her seventh studio album, Mayhem, which dropped on March 7.
The concert, which kicked off at 9 p.m., transformed Copacabana Beach into a sea of fans, echoing the historic spectacles the location has hosted in the past. Madonna drew 1.6 million for her “Celebration” tour finale in May 2024, while The Rolling Stones attracted 1.5 million in 2006, according to Variety.
Gaga’s show lived up to the legacy, with the pop star taking the stage in a dazzling array of costumes, from futuristic bodysuits to a nod to her Chromatica era, capturing the energy of the night as she belted out hits like “Bad Romance” and new tracks from Mayhem.

Gaga’s connection with her Brazilian fans, affectionately called “Little Monsters,” was on full display. She rehearsed on the beach the day before, ensuring a flawless performance, as reported by AP News. The event’s production, handled by Bonus Track and Live Nation, was a logistical marvel, with the stage setup rivaling her Las Vegas residency shows. “Gaga’s Copacabana Beach performance marks the launch of Todo Mundo no Rio,” Variety highlighted, emphasizing the cultural significance of the concert in showcasing Rio as a global entertainment hub.
Social media erupted with praise, with fans sharing clips of Gaga’s high-energy dance routines and emotional ballads. “Lady Gaga just shut down Copacabana Beach-over 2 million people, unreal!” posted one fan on X. The concert also drew comparisons to past Copacabana events, like Rod Stewart’s 1994 New Year’s Eve show, which attracted 4.2 million attendees. Gaga’s performance, part of her broader 2025 tour plans, comes on the heels of her recent releases, including the Joker: Folie à Deux soundtrack and her “Disease” music video, keeping her at the forefront of pop culture as she continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
