Lady Gaga is set play to what will undoubtedly be one of the largest crowds of her career when she takes the stage for a free concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil on May 3rd, 2025.
Dubbed “Lady Gaga: Todo Mundo no Rio,” the concert is expected to draw a crowd of over one million people, according to Brasilian officials. Madonna held a similar show at Copacabana Beach in May 2024, attracting more than 1.6 million attendees. Gaga’s concert will also be broadcast live on Multishow and TV Globo.
“It’s a great honor to be asked to sing for Rio–for my whole career the fans in Brazil have been part of the lifeblood of the little monsters,” Gaga said in a statement. The singer noted that she’s been “dying to come perform for you for years and was heartbroken” when she was forced to cancel a 2017 appearance at Brasil’s Rock in Rio after being hospitalized for severe pain.
“Your understanding that I needed that time to heal meant the world to me,” Gaga added. “I am now coming back and I feel better than ever and am working so hard to make sure this show is one you will never forget. Get ready for MAYHEM on the beach.”
The performance will come shortly after the release of Gaga’s new album, MAYHEM, which is set to arrive on March 7th. She’s also slated to headline Coachella and appear as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live in the coming months.
