Madonna attracted a crowd of more than 1.6 million people to Copacabana beach on Saturday night, May 4th, for her free concert, which marked the final stop of her world tour. The 65-year-old singer turned the beach into a massive dance floor, performing classics such as “Like a Virgin” and “Like a Prayer,” with several costume changes and various set designs.
Huge Crowd
The city of Rio de Janeiro was abuzz with excitement ahead of the event, as fans gathered outside the Copacabana Palace hotel to catch a glimpse of the star. Some fans watched the performance from the beach, nearby apartments, hotels, and boats anchored offshore.
The city's airport handled an estimated 170 additional flights as people from around the world arrived to attend the concert.
Additional Performers and Production
Joining Madonna on stage were Brazilian artists Anitta and Pabllo Vittar, along with young musicians from samba schools.
The show featured large screens and 18 sound towers spread along the beach to provide a top-notch experience for the enormous audience, which Madonna described as “the biggest in her 40-year career.”
