oglobo5 September 2026 at 22:23

The second day of Rock in Rio 2026, held on Saturday (5), was marked by the weight of heavy metal. The festival featured presentations that prioritized heavy sound, meeting the expectations of the audience present.

The all-female band Malvada opened the Sunset Stage with a mix of heavy metal and hard rock, including a tribute to Rita Lee. The show served as a warm-up for the night of heavy sound that was to come.

One of the most symbolic moments of the lineup was Sepultura's farewell to Rock in Rio. The band took to the main stage and delivered a performance recognized for its characteristic weight and competence, marking a special moment for fans.

The night ended to the sound of Avenged Sevenfold, which closed the second day of the festival. The editorial staff of the newspaper O GLOBO published notes and critiques for the festival shows, evaluating the performances carried out up to that point.

Rock in Rio 2026: storms have marked the festival's history; remember

Rain and Rock in Rio have a long history together, dating back to the festival's first edition in 1985, when storms transformed the audience's experience and became part of the event's memory. At the debut, heavy rain hit Rock City in Jacarepaguá and turned the grounds into a huge mud pit. Images of the audience covered in mud, including during Queen's performance with Freddie Mercury, became iconic marks of the festival. The first edition brought together approximately 1.38 million people over ten days.

Before being Calvin Harris: Rock in Rio DJ released songs at 18 years old under a different name

Calvin Harris, the headliner at Rock in Rio's Palco Mundo, didn't always use that name. At 18 years old, in 2002, the Scottish DJ released "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days" under the stage name Stouffer, in physical formats such as 12-inch single and CD-EP. This phase lasted a short time, and in 2004 he was already credited as Calvin Harris on the song "Let me know," featuring Ayah Marar, on the compilation Electric Soul, Vol. 2, by duo The Unabombers. The name Calvin Harris only gained prominence a few years later.

Farming aura

The concept "farming aura" is a Gen Z trend that went viral on TikTok and Instagram, combining the "farming" mechanic from video games with personal magnetism. Instead of feeling embarrassed when going through an awkward moment, young people now say they "lost 500 aura points," as if it were a game. The trend represents a way for Gen Z to deal with embarrassing situations in a lighter manner, transforming embarrassment into something trivial and even humorous, in contrast to the anxious rumination that would be more common in previous generations.
