The landmark free concert will take place in Rio de Janeiro
On May 3rd, Lady Gaga will deliver a monumental performance at the famed Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Marking her first show in Brazil since 2012, the landmark free concert will take place on a custom stage built to bring Gaga’s creative vision to life. The show will be broadcast live on Multishow and TV Globo, starting at 9 pm BRT.
Fans from around the world are expected to attend the free event, which will be open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis for those arriving at Copacabana Beach near the Belmond Copacabana Palace Hotel on May 3rd.
Gaga’s performance at Copacabana Beach marks the launch of Todo Mundo no Rio, a new initiative created by Bonus Track and presented by Corona to highlight the impact of entertainment in Rio de Janeiro. The platform will present large-scale cultural events over the next several years, starting with this historic concert. Bonus Track, known for organizing globally recognized events such as Madonna’s Celebration Tour finale in 2024, the Rolling Stones’ 2006 concert, and all of Paul McCartney’s tours in Brazil since 1990, is producing the event in partnership with Live Nation.
The announcement comes as “Abracadabra,” the latest single from Gaga’s upcoming album Mayhem — due on March 7th via Interscope Records — continues its ascent. Debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs Chart, the critically acclaimed track recently pushed Gaga past 124 million monthly listeners on Spotify, breaking the record for the largest monthly audience ever achieved by a female artist, marking a new career milestone.
The official music video for “Abracadabra,” directed by Gaga alongside Parris Goebel and Bethany Vargas, has already surpassed 47 million views on YouTube since its release on February 2nd. Featuring a visually striking dance battle between light and dark Gaga, the video has drawn comparisons to some of her most iconic work.
“Disease,” which was released ahead of “Abracadabra,” has also been a defining moment in Gaga’s Mayhem era.
As anticipation builds for Mayhem, “Die With a Smile”—Gaga’s collaboration with Bruno Mars (which is also featured on the album) has remained a dominant force. Amassing over 1.9 billion all-time streams to date, it became the longest-running No. 1 song on Spotify Global of all time and the fastest song in history to reach one billion streams on Spotify. “Die With a Smile” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, and earned Gaga her 14th Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammys.
Blending the eclectic energy that first captivated her fans with a bold, fearless artistic vision, Mayhem explores themes of chaos and transformation, celebrating music’s power to unite, provoke, and heal. The 14-track project was executive produced by Gaga, Michael Polansky and Andrew Watt. Producers on the album include Gaga, Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Gesaffelstein.
Building on a milestone year, Gaga will be honored with the 2025 iHeartRadio Innovator Award at the 12th annual iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 17th, followed by headlining performances at Coachella on April 11th and 18th.
