Lady Gaga Announces Performance At Copacabana Beach Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

14-time Grammy Award-winner Lady Gaga will deliver a monumental performance at the famed Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Marking her first show in Brazil since 2012, the landmark free concert will take place on a custom stage built to bring Gaga’s creative vision to life. The show will be broadcast live on Multishow and TV Globo, starting at 9 PM BRT.
Fans from around the world are expected to attend the free event, which will be open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis for those arriving at Copacabana Beach near the Belmond Copacabana Palace Hotel on May 3.
Gaga’s performance at Copacabana Beach marks the launch of Todo Mundo no Rio, a new initiative created by Bonus Track and presented by Corona to highlight the impact of entertainment in Rio de Janeiro. The platform will present large-scale cultural events over the next several years, starting with this historic concert. Bonus Track, known for organizing globally recognized events such as Madonna’s Celebration Tour finale in 2024, the Rolling Stones’ 2006 concert, and all of Paul McCartney’s tours in Brazil since 1990, is producing the event in partnership with Live Nation.
Today’s announcement comes as “Abracadabra,” the latest single from Gaga’s upcoming album MAYHEM (out March 7 via Interscope Records) continues its ascent. Debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs Chart, the critically acclaimed track recently pushed Gaga past 124 million monthly listeners on Spotify, breaking the record for the largest monthly audience ever achieved by a female artist, marking a new career milestone.
Rolling Stone described “Abracadabra” as “a showcase of her return to dark pop that pays homage to the influences that shaped her career,” while Clash called it “a thrilling piece of pop music that moves from light to shadow with expert control.” Billboard praised its “explosive” energy and “high-intensity production,” highlighting how it builds on the darker electronic elements of “Disease.” Of the song, Pitchfork said “‘Abracadabra’ delivers a latex-tight hook in true Born This Way fashion, though a closer listen reveals traces of over a decade of artistic reinvention: a touch of Chromatica in the house piano, and a full-throttle vocal turn that unmistakably stems from serious theatrical training.”
The official music video for “Abracadabra,” directed by Gaga alongside Parris Goebel and Bethany Vargas, has already surpassed 47 million views on YouTube since its release on February 2. Featuring a visually striking dance battle between light and dark Gaga, the video has drawn comparisons to some of her most iconic work. Billboard described it as evoking Bad Romance with “its meticulous display of the intersection of various art forms” and “jaw-dropping high fashion.” Rolling Stone highlighted the frenetic choreography, calling it “an eruption of chaos and movement” that reinforces the concept of MAYHEM, recalling The Fame Monster era. Pitchfork called it “a high-concept production with impeccable styling,” adding that “Gaga remains a step above the average pop star; her true competition is the ghosts of her own past.”
“Disease,” which was released ahead of “Abracadabra,” has also been a defining moment in Gaga’s MAYHEM era. Lauded as “her best in a long while” by The Independent and praised by The Guardian for its “fizzing, distorted synths” and “pounding, slightly industrial beat,” the song became an instant fan favorite. Rolling Stone highlighted its “cavernous synth line” and “classic Gaga shout-along chorus,” further cementing its status as a powerhouse track. The music video, directed by Tanu Muino, was celebrated as “one of the best videos of the year” by Vogue and hailed by W as a “cinematic, almost theater-like experience.”
As anticipation builds for MAYHEM, “Die With a Smile”—Gaga’s collaboration with Bruno Mars (which is also featured on the album) has remained a dominant force. Amassing over 1.9B all-time streams to date, it became the longest-running No. 1 song on Spotify Global of all time and the fastest song in history to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. “Die With a Smile” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, and earned Gaga her 14th Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammys.
Blending the eclectic energy that first captivated her fans with a bold, fearless artistic vision, MAYHEM explores themes of chaos and transformation, celebrating music’s power to unite, provoke, and heal. The 14-track project was executive produced by Gaga, Michael Polansky and Andrew Watt. Producers on the album include Gaga, Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Gesaffelstein.
Building on a milestone year, Gaga will be honored with the 2025 iHeartRadio Innovator Award at the 12th annual iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 17, followed by headlining performances at Coachella on April 11 and 18.

Caamp Announces 2026 Headlining Tour
Caamp announces its 2026 Tour, which kicks off in Richmond, VA on April 22nd. With 13 of the 19-city headlining tour co-produced by FPC Live and Live Nation – Caamp’s 2026 Tour follows the band’s successful 2025 Tour and Copper Changes Color album – includes stops at Forest Hills Stadium (Forest Hills, NY), Merriweather Post Pavilion (Columbia, MD), and two nights at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre (Greenwood Village, CO). It will also include a special hometown arena show at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, OH.
Artist pre-sale begins February 17th at 10am local time with additional pre-sales running throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale which begins February 20th at 10am local time. Caamp will donate $1 for each ticket sold to their Great Heights Movement, which supports charitable programs in the Columbus, OH area and beyond.

In addition to their 2026 headlining tour, Caamp will join Zach Bryan and Mumford & Sons for direct support for select dates on Bryan’s With Heaven On Tour starting in March, and Mumford & Sons’ Prizefighter European Tour in July. They will also play festivals including High Water Festival (headliner), Railbird Festival and Levitate Music and Arts Festival (headliner).
Last summer, the band released their fifth studio album, Copper Changes Color, via Mom+Pop Music. The album – which Garden & Gun praises for its “Strokes-like strut, all clanging electric guitars at a punchy clip” while still nailing “the sweet spot of Caamp’s trademark folk and delicate banjo beneath Meier’s distinctive baritone” – is both a reflection on growth and evolution and a celebration of the dreams and bonds that endure. Copper Changes Colordebuted at No. 1 on the Americana/Folk Albums chart and on Spotify’s Top 10 Albums: Debut USA, plus earned the band’s fifth Adult Alternative Airplay No. 1 single with “Mistakes.”
The 2026 Tour follows their sold-out 2025 Tour, which saw more than 200K tickets sold and included stops at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall, LA’s Greek Theatre, Chicago’s Salt Shed, Denver’s Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway, DC’s The Anthem, and more, plus a successful European Tour.
Founded in Athens, OH by Taylor Meier (frontman + primary songwriter) and Evan Westfall (multi-instrumentalist), Caamp – which also includes Matt Vinson (bass), Joseph Kavalec (keys) and Nicholas Falk (drums) – rocketed to early acclaim with their self-titled 2016 debut, which garnered the band their first gold single and will celebrate its 10th anniversary next month. Since then, the group has racked up more than 2.5 billion streams; topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart; topped the Americana Albums chart, sold out multiple nights from Red Rocks to Radio City; headlined Columbus’ Nationwide Arena; received praise from the likes of NPR, Relix, SPIN and more; and performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS Saturday Morning. Caamp also wrote and recorded “And It’s Gone” as the main title theme for Stick, the 2025 hit AppleTV+ original sports comedy starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson.

Tame Impala Announce North American Arena Tour with Djo and Dominik Fike
After 2025 and 2026 global sell-outs, Tame Impala has added another run of North American dates kicking off this summer. The tour will begin in Miami at Kaseya Center on July 7th and wrap up September 19th at the Toyota Center in Houston. The first half of the tour will be supported by Djo and the latter half by Dominic Fike, marking the first time either of the two massive artists in their own right have ever supported on a tour. Artist presales via Seated will begin Wednesday, February 18 at 12pm local time, with unique passwords required. Additional presales will follow on Thursday, February 19 at 12pm local time, including the AEG/Venue presale, the Ticketmaster/AXS presale, and the Radio presale. All presales will conclude Thursday, February 19 at 10pm local time, with the public on sale beginning Friday, February 20 at 12pm local time. For more information visit www.tameimpala.com
Late last year, Tame Impala released his fifth full-length album, Deadbeat via Columbia Records. On it, Parker sculpted a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date, including the breakout hit “Dracula.” The song has now held the #1 position at ALT radio and Tame Impala has since released “Dracula (JENNIE Remix).” The song travelled all the way to South Korea and came back reborn with vocals from the global superstar. LISTEN HERE.
After releasing Deadbeat, Parker scored a GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for the single “End Of Summer” (the only track eligible for the 2026 GRAMMYS) and won the category earlier this month. He also picked up a BRIT Award nomination for International Group of the Year. Tame Impala has had 5 career GRAMMY nominations and now two wins, and has racked up three BRIT Award nominations and a win throughout his career. Prior to becoming tour-mates, Tame Impala and Djo (Joe Keery) teamed up for the “Loser” video – WATCH HERE.
“One of the best live shows of the year.”
