The large turnout of the public for the free concert brought a great economic return estimated in about $ 100 million, almost 30% more than the concert, always free, of Madonna organized in the same place a year ago.
In light of these numerical and economic findings, the mayor of the cities of Rio has decided to “calendar” these events in the “low season” period and has announced that he intends to bring U2 next year.
An event that led an oceanic crowd to pour on the Oceanic beach required an imposing safety apparatus that saw employed 5000 agents, drones and closed circuit cameras with facial recognition.
Let’s only imagine that the organization should have been perfect but we also think about the quality of the concert in such a crowded context and on such a large dimension.
With in his tour Lady Gaga is expected in Italy for two shows scheduled for 19 and 20 October at the Assago Forum, in Milan, both sold out.
