K-pop makes its debut at the 2026 edition of Rock in Rio, occupying an entire day dedicated to this audience, with the group Stray Kids as the main headliner of the night. CBN conducted a survey on Google with the main headliners of the seven days of the event in the last month.
The survey revealed that Stray Kids leads searches with a wide margin of advantage over the other artists. In second place appear tied Elton John and Maroon 5, followed by Foo Fighters. The other three attractions of the event — 21 Pilots, Avenged Sevenfold and Calvin Harris — have much fewer searches in comparison.
In the last week of data, the numbers changed little. The K-pop group continues in the lead, with Maroon 5 slightly ahead of Elton John. Foo Fighters, the attraction of the first day of the event, dropped in searches but maintained fourth position. The order of the remaining attractions remains the same.
