Details about Lady Gaga's free concert in Brazil explored
While Lady Gaga's The Mayhem Ball tour is scheduled to begin in July 2025, the singer has already amped up a wide audience base in Brazil with her free concert at the Copacabana Beach.
The concert will be on a first-come, first-served basis and is a part of Rio's efforts to establish "Celebration May", a term coined by Mayor Eduardo Paes. Celebration May aims to bring international artists to perform in the city for free, providing a boost to the local economy.
News of the free concert in Brazil was confirmed by Lady Gaga via a tweet on February 21, 2025, wherein she called the opportunity to perform at Rio an "honor". She mentioned that throughout her career, her fans in Brazil have been a part of "the lifeblood of the little monsters" (the singer's fandom name).
The singer wrote in her tweet:
"I've been dying to come perform for you for years and was heartbroken when I had to cancel years ago because I was hospitalized. Your understanding that I needed that time to heal meant the world to me. I am now coming back and I feel better than ever and am working so hard to make sure this show is one you will never forget. Get ready for MAYHEM on the beach"
The impact of Lady Gaga's show in Brazil has generated an increase in the number of tourists visiting the region, as reported by Chile’s LATAM Airlines.
As per Reuters' report dated May 2, 2025, LATAM said in a statement that it had increased the frequency of flights to Rio's two main airports, Santos Dumont and Galeao, by 25% between Wednesday and Monday.
