A GREAT FESTIVAL: ROCK IN RIO

I always wanted to go to Rock in Rio but I didn't have the chance to do it for many reasons. One of these, is that I'm a minor yet so It's hard to believe that my parents let me go. However, I'll write a little about this festival.

In 1985, Rock in Rio took place in Jacarepaguá, Rio de Janerio (Brazil), well known as city of rock. It started with an area of 250,000 sq. m. It had been artists as AC / DC, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Queen, Gilberto Gil, Paralamas do Sucesso and Barao Vermelho.

Rock in Rio is consider the largest festival in the world. Its history is the most important in the music scene, with 13 editions and almost 6 million people. This festival started in Rio de Janeiro but Brazil isn't the only country wich celebrate it , also Potugal and Spain celebrate with the intention of bringing all styles of music to the most varied audiences. Therefore, it's not just a musical event because it encourages the enviromental responsability. Today, Linkin Park and Queens of the Stone Age were on stage in Rock in Rio Lisboa VI.
