Lady Gaga in Rio de Janeiro 2025

Mayhem on the Beach is coming to Copacabana. On May 3, 2025, Lady Gaga in Rio de Janeiro 2025 is turning up the volume and the waves. As part of her “Viva la Mayhem” tour, Gaga will perform a free concert on the iconic Copacabana Beach and bring an unforgettable night of music, emotion, and Little Monster magic to Rio de Janeiro.

The performance, organized by Live Nation, will be broadcast live, and is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of fans, tourists, and locals to the sand for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Gaga herself has described this as a “great honor” and a full-circle moment, as she returns to the city after a canceled performance years ago due to illness. In her words, “Rio, for my whole career, the fans in Brazil have been part of the lifeblood of what I create.”

This will be Gaga’s only confirmed show in Brazil during the tour – so if you’re anywhere near Rio, this is your sign.

What to Expect When Attending Lady Gaga in Rio De Janeiro 2025

This isn’t just a concert. It’s Mayhem on the Beach.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Copacabana Beach and the Belmond Copacabana Palace Hotel, Gaga’s Rio performance will have everything from emotion to electrifying visuals. Her return to the stage here, years after battling severe physical pain is healing. She said herself: “Being able to sing for Rio and perform again after what I went through, heal meant the world.”

Expect crowds, beach party vibes, and passionate fans who have been dying to come perform alongside her lyrics. While it’s a free concert, plan ahead, todo mundo no Rio will be there.

How to Get to or From the Event

Getting to Copacabana Beach is easy, but the earlier you arrive, the better your beach spot.

• By Metro – The Rio Metro is your best bet. Take Line 1 or 2 to one of the main Copacabana stops: Cardeal Arcoverde, Siqueira Campos, or Cantagalo. From any of these, it’s a 5–10 minute walk to the beach.
• By Bus – Dozens of local bus lines stop along Avenida Atlântica and Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana, both of which run parallel to the beach. Check the route map or ask a local for help if you're unsure.
• By taxi or rideshare – Apps like Uber and 99 are commonly used in Rio. That said, road closures near the beachfront are expected on concert day, so prepare to walk a bit from your drop-off point.
• From the airport – If you're coming straight from Galeão (GIG) or Santos Dumont (SDU) airports, budget 30–40 minutes by car, more if traffic is heavy (which it likely will be). Airport taxis, Ubers, or shuttle buses are all available.
