Rock in Rio 2026 finally began, with Foo Fighters as the Palco Mundo headliner and Capital Inicial performing on the Sunset stage. GLOBO newspaper reporters followed the first day of the festival from before the gates opened to after Dave Grohl's show.
Among the positive aspects of the first day, the Palco Mundo LED screen was highlighted. With 2,400 square meters of area, the screen proved beautiful and imposing, especially during the early evening projections, accompanied by fireworks that popped in the sky.
The sound system, which historically had presented instability in previous editions of the festival, also did not disappoint this edition. The example cited was the performance of the band Nova Twins, when the members pulled out heavy sound and the speakers responded perfectly.
The article indicates that the reporters also identified points that need improvement for the remaining days of the event, although this part of the content appears cut off in the available article.
