Rock 80 Festival at Rita Lee Park

On 18, 19, 25 and 26 January, there is the Rock 80 Festival, a free event at Rita Lee Park, on Barra da Tijuca. The event brings together music, gastronomy, space for children, fashion and culture, all in one place! Entry is free, but the public can contribute to the donation of 2kg of non-perishable food.

On the 18th and 19th of January, starting at 2:00 p.m., the audience will be able to enjoy concerts from bands like Ilha Nova, which will feature hits by Pink Floyd, Nirvana and Detonautas, and Rock Side, with a repertoire that includes hits by Kid Bee, Jota Quest and Billy Idol. Scotch will bring interpretations of Red Baron, Audioslave and Lenny Kravitz, while The Red Pilot will close Saturday with classics from Aerosmith, Creedence and The Police. The Finnish singer Jules, who chose Rio to live, is part of bands in Europe, such as Rootbrain and Spiritraiser, having participated in Wacken, an important Havy Metal festival in Northern Germany. On Sunday, the highlights are due to Red Led, who will revisit songs from Pitty, Amy Winehouse and Black City, and Polarie, with songs from Pearl Jam, Evanescence and The Smiths. The Litore and Angry bands complete the day with repertoires of Los Hermanos, Lulu Santos, Black Sabbath and AC/DC.

Already on January 25 and 26, the programming continues intense. On Saturday, the band Hommeoffice will open the concerts with successes of Urban Legion, RPM and Titans, followed by Queen Of The Rock, which will pay tribute to Rita Lee. Saturday will also feature performances by Rio Rock Roots and the band Baixo Grau, with songs by artists such as Cássia Eller, Raimundos and Charlie Brown Jr. On Sunday, Modehard starts the day with classics from Bon Jovi, U2 and Guns N’ Roses, while the band 80 Tons of Rock explores Plebe Rude and Simple Minds hits. The final performances of the festival are performed by Cão Vira-lata, with successes by Pink Floyd, Kiss and Creedence, and by the band Dinucci, which closes the event with repertoire by Iron Maiden, Green Day and Audioslave.

The festival also offers sports activities such as basketball, skateboarding, skates and climbing wall. Animals will also be welcome, as the event is pet-friendly. Parking is free on site.
