Description
Lady Gaga performed a free concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on May 3, 2025, drawing a record-breaking crowd of 2.5 million fans. The concert, which began around 10 p.m. local time, was divided into five thematic acts, featuring songs from her new album “Mayhem” alongside her classic hits.
Gaga now holds the record for the highest-attended concert by a female artist in history – a record previously held by Madonna, who drew 1.6 million. During her performance, Gaga acknowledged the crowd and said, “Your spirit may be heard around the world tonight. Two and a half million people.”
Gaga fever had hit Brazil ever since the singer announced the special show. Fans had been camping outside the hotel where she had been staying since Tuesday night, singing her songs, waiting and hoping to get a glimpse of the star. On Friday night, Gaga treated fans by rehearsing on the stage, giving them a teaser of what was to come. Gaga told her audience, “I’ve missed you so much. I know that this is not the first show here, I know this is just a rehearsal, it feels like it’s the real show.”
It had been 12 years since Gaga last performed in the country, and fans started queuing early on Saturday morning to secure a good spot for the show. “Tonight, we’re making history,” she said. “Thank you for making history with me… The people of Brazil are the reason why I can shine.”
She opened the show with her 2011 track “Bloody Mary” and performed her classic hits, including “Poker Face” and “Alejandro,” as well as tracks from her latest album, “Mayhem.”
Gaga treated her fans to a new costume for the historic show by wearing a dress with the colors of the Brazilian flag. The performance followed Gaga’s headlining performances at Coachella and sold-out stadium shows in Mexico City.
