The second day of Rock in Rio 2026 was marked by emotion, with the farewell of the band Sepultura as one of the strong moments of the festival. Rain also fell over the City of Rock during the day, bringing additional challenges for the organization and the audience present. Saturday was dedicated to metal, attracting fans of the genre to the Mundo and Sunset stages.
The Sepultura performance stood out for the use of the 2,400-square-meter screen technology, considered unprecedented in this edition. The show displayed details and images from various angles of the same instrument, creating a visual spectacle that impressed the rock fans present. According to critic Ricardo Ferreira, MgK's performance ended up being more interesting in images than in sound.
GLOBO reporters followed the event between the Mundo and Sunset stages, listing what went right and what needs to improve in the coming days. On the first day of the festival, only Foo Fighters had made good use of the screen's high technology, making Sepultura's performance a positive reference for other artists who will still perform.
