Rain at Rock in Rio causes audience to buy protective raincoats for R$25

extra5 September 2026 at 20:57

Rain hit Cidade do Rock, in the Southwest Zone of Rio de Janeiro, just minutes after the shows opened on this Saturday (5th) of Rock in Rio. After a Friday of stable weather and intense heat, the scene shifted on the festival's second day, forcing part of the audience to adapt to the new weather conditions.

To avoid ruining the fun of the performances, many spectators decided to buy protective raincoats, sold by street vendors near the event entrance for R$25. The sellers took advantage of the weather change to profit from the items.

Saturday's lineup includes metal shows, featuring Sepultura, Bad Omens, and Avenged Sevenfold. The audience was already wearing raincoats over their signature black t-shirts characteristic of the style, creating a new look at the Olympic Park.
