Madonna to perform free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio on May 4

[EZEtoGRU]

Madonna's last official show on The Celebration Tour took place last weekend in Mexico City.   About a month ago, she announced she would do a final show in Rio on Copacabana Beach.  It will be free and looks to be an enormous undertaking as 1.5 million fans are expected for the show.  I hope it all goes off safely.  I assume everyone attending will have to go through heavy security checks.

Madonna arrived in Rio on Monday morning and is staying at The Copacabana Palace.

Here is a video showing some of the stage preparations:

 

Anybody going?

I prefer Ipanema Beach but that is just me.

However, I love . Madonna

I have a vacay place in Rio and flew down here for the free Madonna concert. 

I was here for the 100 Year Anniversary Celebration of The Copacabana Palace. That resulted in over 200 arrests of pickpockets and assaulters in the area. 

The Madonna show, as mentioned, is also outside The Palace. 

Here’s hoping it goes on without (too much of) a hitch!

Reminds me of seeing the Rolling Stones on Copacabana Beach in 2006.  1.6 million showed up.  

Great show.  Really great crowd.

I wonder if she'll, as tradition dictates, be two hours late starting
