Lady Gaga is returning to Brazil for the first time since 2012, with a monumental performance at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro.
On May 3, Lady Gaga will make a triumphant return to Brazil for the first time in over a decade. The landmark free concert takes place on a custom stage designed to bring her creative vision to life at the famed Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro. The show will be broadcast live on Multishow and TV Globo, starting at 9 PM BRT (4 PM PST).
Fans worldwide are expected to flock to the free event, which will be open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis for those arriving at Copacabana Beach near the Belmond Copacabana Palace Hotel on May 3.
The performance marks the launch of Todo Mundo no Rio, a new initiative created by Bonus Track and presented by Corona to highlight the impact of entertainment in Rio de Janeiro. The platform will present large-scale cultural events over the next several years, starting with this historic concert. Known for organizing globally recognized events — including Madonna’s Celebration Tour finale in 2024, the Rolling Stones’ 2006 concert, and all of Paul McCartney’s tours in Brazil since 1990 — Bonus Track is producing the event in partnership with Live Nation.
The announcement of Lady Gaga’s performance comes as her latest single, “Abracadabra,” from her upcoming album, Mayhem, continues its ascent. Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart, the critically acclaimed track recently pushed Gaga past 124 million monthly listeners on Spotify. The feat breaks the record for the largest monthly audience ever achieved by a female artist.
“Die With a Smile,” Gaga’s collaboration with Bruno Mars, also featured on the upcoming album, continues to be a dominating force. The track amassed over 1.98 billion streams to date, becoming the longest-running No. 1 song on Spotify Global and the fastest song in history to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. “Die With a Smile” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, and earned Gaga her 14th Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammys.
Further building upon her milestone year, Lady Gaga will be honored with the 2025 iHeartRadio Innovator Award at the 12th Annual iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 17. That honor will be followed by headlining performances at Coachella on April 11 and 18.
