A story of connection and passion for music gained prominence on the night of the 6th with the exciting announcement of three more artists for the long-awaited line-up of theRock in Rio: Katy Perry, Gloria Gaynor and Iza, who will perform on September 20th, on Dia Delas, when all stages in the City of Rock will only host shows by female artists. This moment, which was already emotional due to the importance of having an entire day dedicated to female power at the festival, also highlighted the relationship that Rock in Rio has with its passionate fans.
Following the philosophy of dreaming and making it happen, Rock in Rio expressed its gratitude to a special fan who proposed some artist names for the festival, deeply following the essence of the curatorship and what is experienced in the City of Rock, with music for everyone tastes, since since 1985 the festival has embraced a wide variety of rhythms and musical styles, showing, in its first edition, that it seeks to build a diverse line-up. The shared list in X (old Twitter) by Zico, in September 2023, brought a surprising coincidence with last night’s announcements. The young man mentioned the names of Katy Perry and Gloria Gaynor in his suggestions, without knowing that his choices and his dream would become reality at the festival.
To celebrate this unique connection between the festival and its dedicated followers, Rock in Rio decided to gift Zico with a pair of tickets to personally witness his suggestions come to life on the stages of Cidade do Rock. This gesture not only demonstrates Rock in Rio’s gratitude for the passion and dedication of its fans, but also emphasizes the festival’s commitment to honoring and recognizing the voice of its community.
For the emotion to take over this moment, Z Ricardo, artistic vice-president of Rock World, the company that created, organizes and produces Rock in Rio and The Town, shared a moving video on the festival’s social networks expressing gratitude for the affection de Zico and highlighting the importance of the festival’s connection with its audience. Z Ricardo also highlighted that the announced artists not only represent musical excellence, but also the values of humanity, plurality and diversity that are fundamental to Rock in Rio.
