The pop star makes history with The Celebration Tour
Tonight (Sat, May 4th), Madonna broke yet another record as she performed a free concert to 1.6 million fans on the majestic Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, marking the largest audience ever for a stand-alone concert by any artist in history.
Apart from the annual New Year’s Eve event on Copacabana Beach, the Rolling Stones held the previous record for the largest audience for almost 20 years. As excitement has been building for weeks in Rio for Madonna’s first performance in Brazil in over a decade, fans flocked to witness the best-selling female artist of all time perform the final show of her enormously successful The Celebration Tour.
Copacabana Beach turned into the world’s largest dancefloor as Madonna performed some of her biggest hits from her peerless music catalog.
Described as her most personal tour to date, The Celebration Tour does not only honor Madonna’s four decades of iconic music but is an homage to her unprecedented life, unique artistry and groundbreaking career.
