Lady Gaga with Mega Concert in Rio de Janeiro

"On May 3rd, Lady Gaga in Rio," announced the mayor of the Brazilian metropolis, Eduardo Paes, regarding the free mega-concert of the US superstar. "Will I spend public funds to bring Lady Gaga? Yes," Paes said in a podcast released on Wednesday evening (local time). He had also done this for Madonna. "And do you know why? Because it fills the hotels and restaurants."

"Gagacabana": Lady Gaga with Mega-Concert at the Copacabana

The mayor's announcement came after months of speculation about a possible mega-performance by Lady Gaga at the Copacabana, with the anticipated event already being hotly discussed in online networks as "Gagacabana 2025." The concert of the 38-year-old singer in May is supposed to be free for fans and take place on a giant stage on the beach of Rio.

Madonna had given a free concert at the Copacabana last May to conclude her world tour. According to local authorities, more than 1.6 million people attended Madonna's biggest performance in her 40-year career. The event reportedly brought almost 60 million euros into the local economy.
