Rock in Rio 2011 returned to Rio de Janeiro after a decade of absence
Rock in Rio 2011 returned to Rio de Janeiro after a decade of absence, selling out tickets in just four days and attracting over 700,000 people. The festival had two main stages: the Palco Mundo, for major concerts, and the Palco Sunset, for special collaborations. Highlights included a tribute to Legião Urbana featuring former members and the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra, as well as the creation of Rock Street, inspired by the musicality and bohemianism of New Orleans, which celebrated blues and jazz.
