Lady Gaga to perform free concert at Rio's Copacabana Beach in May 2025

Lady Gaga will perform a free concert at Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach on May 3, 2025, according to sources. This event is part of "Celebration May," aimed at boosting the local economy with performances by international stars. The concert follows the success of Madonna's free show in May, which attracted around 1.6 million attendees. Mayor Eduardo Paes has indicated plans for more major concerts in Rio, with a final agreement for Gaga's performance expected soon. Previous free concerts at Copacabana have featured artists like the Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart. The local government plans to use sponsorship and public funds to support the event, similar to the approach taken for Madonna's concert.
