For a Gray Rock in Rio

oglobo9 September 2026 at 08:30

The columnist proposes a "gray" version of Rock in Rio, adapted for the audience over 50 years old. The suggestion arises from the observation that the population is aging and that the festival should follow this trend.

The event organizer, Roberto Medina, is directly addressed in the text. The author offers free consulting and suggests a list of Brazilian artists for headlining the nights: Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethânia, Roberto Carlos, Gilberto Gil, and Paulinho da Viola. Foreign artists would be welcome but should not be scheduled after Chico or Caetano, to respect the proposed "hierarchy."

Regarding the schedule, the columnist argues that the last show should end by 9 PM at the latest. The presentation window should be between 6 PM and 10 PM, as people over 50 can no longer stay up until the early morning and the afternoons are too hot.

Regarding logistics, the text mentions that crowded public transportation, such as BRT, buses, and metro, is something that only works for young people. The article ends incompletely, suggesting that people over fifty would not subject themselves to these conditions.
