i found some space on the title to include the 2.5M figure, to make our guests happy

Let me remind youuuuu - 2.5 million officially, god knows how many more when you take into account, say, people who booked hotel rooms to watch from their balcony, or people who watched from the roofs of nearby buildings etc

Kinda ironic since the most active thread they have is about gaga, who hates who more  Gaga is on their tongue 24/7

From my perspective Beyonce is the one that can beat. Brazil likes Taylor but not as much as Gaga or Bey.

Can you show me a post where they joke about s*icide of Gaga fans? I can’t see the forum because it requires membership. I assume you do have one.

Imma just say, if some other act ever surpasses gaga I will be gracious about it, unlike some other fanbases that actively try to change narratives about numbers and attack Gaga to protect their favs.

A free concert by Lady Gaga (USA, b. Stefani Germanotta) at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on 3 May 2025 attracted an estimated 2.5 million fans (affectionately known as her “Little Monsters”), making it the most attended standalone music concert in history. Lady Gaga’s first show in Brazil in 13 years crushed the record set by Madonna at the same location on 4 May 2024, when some 1.6 million people flocked to the sun-kissed Atlantic coast to see the “Material Girl”. Both events formed part of a series of free shows promoted by Live Nation in conjunction with Rio’s tourism agency, with Lady Gaga’s performance alone expected to boost the local economy by 600 million reais (£79.6 m, or $105.8 m).

“Copacabana” was transformed into “Gagacabana” for the five-act “gothic opera”, which featured her headline set from the previous month’s Coachella Festival, interspersing tracks from her latest album, Mayhem, with crowd-favourite career classics such as “Born this Way”, “Paparazzi”, “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance” - the latter serving as the finale, complete with heart-shaped fireworks. 

“Thank you for making history with me,” Lady Gaga told the crowd. “The people of Brazil are the reason why I can shine.” 

Rod Stewart’s concert at the same location on New Year’s Eve 1994 is the largest concert attendance overall. The audience that night was reportedly at least 3.5 million, although this figure is believed to include those who turned up solely for the fireworks display at midnight.

Genuinely wild that they feel like they need to qualify it with “female” when the acknowledgement literally states that it is the most attended standalone concert in history and that Rod Stewart’s numbers are believed to be inflated due to the NYE firework celebration that came after it.
 

Largest standalone concert of all time, iktr

Every time I see Gaga's numbers I imagine how big MJ's would have been if he did Copacabana  

When he did free shows they were always capped at several hundred thousand due to venue restrictions  

Imagine the two of them right next to each other  

The biggest man and the biggest woman

other than Rod Stewart's, Jorge Ben and Jean-Michel have more or equal than gaga, they don't count as standalone acts? 

Either way, insane achievement
