Review: Hard-hitting, Bad Omens close Sunset stage lineup holding the audience until the last scream

oglobo6 September 2026 at 03:54

The American metalcore band Bad Omens closed the Sunset Stage lineup on the second day of Rock in Rio, taking the stage 5 minutes late. The group, led by singer Noah Sebastian, opened the show with the song "Specter," but it was the second track, "Glass Houses," that got the audience into the rhythm of the show.

One of the band's most well-known songs came next. "The Death of Peace of Mind" addresses the theme of how a toxic relationship can consume one's mental sanity, a personal subject for Sebastian, who in 2024 canceled several shows and took a brief break citing extreme burnout.

Sebastian is considered a talent of his generation. Behind the all-black look, the scowl, and the swept-back hair in a delta wing style, he writes and produces most of the band's songs. The singer also revealed being a fan of anime, having mentioned that he loves "Naruto."

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.
