Lady Gaga pulls record-breaking 2.1 million crowd in free concert at Copacabana Beach
Lady Gaga has officially set a new world record for the largest standalone concert by a female artist, drawing an estimated 2.1 million fans to Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro on 3 May 2025. The free concert, part of the city's cultural initiative 'Todo Mundo no Rio,' surpassed the previous record of 1.6 million set by Madonna at the same venue in 2024. Crowds began arriving early Saturday morning to secure a place for the performance, which marked Gaga's first appearance in Brazil since 2012. The show featured a mix of her career-defining hits such as 'Bad Romance,' 'Poker Face,' and 'Born This Way,' alongside songs from her latest album Mayhem. Gaga also surprised beachgoers the night before the concert by rehearsing live on stage, saying, 'I know this is just a rehearsal, it feels like it's the real show.' Local authorities confirmed the crowd size, with over 500,000 tourists attending and the concert expected to contribute nearly 600 million reais (approximately $106 million) to the local economy. Rio's City Hall, in partnership with private sponsors, organised the event as part of a broader tourism strategy running through 2028. Security for the event was heightened, with more than 5,000 personnel, drones, and surveillance systems deployed. Fans in elaborate costumes, many referencing Gaga's iconic music videos, filled the beach from early morning until the night sky lit up with fireworks following the show. The concert not only celebrated Gaga's return to Brazil but also reinforced Copacabana Beach's reputation as a premier destination for large-scale cultural events. Her performance now stands as a milestone in live music history. Lady Gaga's Mayhem World Tour continues with upcoming dates across South America and Europe, following back-to-back shows in Mexico City last week.

#SHOWBIZ: Gaga thrills 2.1 million fans at free beach concert
RIO DE JANIERO: Lady Gaga captivated a 2.1 million-strong crowd with a free concert at the iconic Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday evening, according to the city administration, German Press Agency (dpa) reported. "I'm so honoured to be here with you tonight. My heart is full. I feel happy, proud and deeply grateful," the 39-year-old American singer said on stage from a mocked-up balcony adorned with a Brazilian flag. "Thank you, Brazil. I love you forever!" The Rio concert was billed as the biggest of her career. The roughly two-hour performance was part of the "Todo Mundo no Rio" (Everybody in Rio) series, an initiative by the city to bring international stars to the coastal metropolis. Lady Gaga had previously cancelled a planned appearance at the Rock in Rio music festival in 2017 due to health reasons. She told fans that Brazilians had waited more than a decade since her last performance in the country, and she would give her all on stage. Fans began arriving at Copacabana as early as the day before to secure the best viewing spots. Around 4,800 police officers were deployed for the event. According to city officials, the show drew about 500,000 tourists to Rio - more than double the expected number - and is projected to generate 600 million reais (US$106 million/MYR451.3 million) in revenue for the city.
