Madonna and her organizers announced on Monday that the singer will conclude her “Celebration” tour with a free mega-concert in May on Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana beach.
A statement on the pop icon’s website referred to the performance as her “biggest show yet” and claimed that it is a “thank you to her fans for celebrating more than four decades of her music.”
The 65-year-old, whose best-known songs include “Like A Virgin” and “Material Girl,” had her previous appearance in Brazil in 2012.
The May 4 mega-show will be her only concert in South America under her “Celebration” tour, which has taken her to more than a dozen countries and is meant to honor her 40-year career.
Organizers said that the show will have similarities with the New Year’s Eve “Reveillon” parties held on the beaches of Rio.
Between 1.2 and 1.5 million people attended a Rolling Stones event in Copacabana in 2006, based on estimations made at the time.
With three shows in Miami in April and five in Mexico City—the only stop in Latin America before Rio—the “Celebration” tour is currently in North America.
with addition to her global record sales of over 300 million records and seven Grammy Awards, Madonna has dabbled with acting, film directing, and other business endeavors.
