• The security scheme will be the same as on New Year’s Eve, with searches and blocking points.
• The presentation should start between 9:30 pm and 9:45 pm and will take 2 hours.

• It will be the only show on the star’s trip to South America.

“Mayor Eduardo Paes gave me carte blanche and we started doing this project in 2022. We sent a letter to Los Angeles to Madonna inviting her to sing in Copacabana. We were energetic and lucky to be with Itaú in this campaign. We are going to hold the biggest event in pop music history. For the city, it has a huge impact on the economy and tourism. Only with the buzz did the hotels fill up. It will be spectacular for the city, it will be our image to the whole world”, municipal tourism secretary Daniela Maia.

This will be Madonna’s fourth visit to shows in Brazil – the last one was 12 years ago. She has already presented the country with ‘The Girlie Show’ tour in 1993, the ‘Sticky and sweet tour’ in 2008 and ‘MDNA’ in 2012. This time, the performance on the sands of Copacabana will be the singer’s only one in the whole South America, and Brazilian fans will be able to see up close – whether on the beach sand or in the comfort of home – the pop diva perform the biggest hits from her extensive career.
