Rock in Rio begins another weekend edition of the festival. The event has long had a flexible relationship with the rock music genre and currently presents a profile closer to an amusement park than a traditional music festival.
Among the attractions available at the City of Rock, the audience finds a Ferris wheel, roller coaster, karaoke, tattoos, and even aerial acrobatics flights with pirouettes over the venue. The article's author evaluates this transformation positively, confessing that he would risk trying the acrobatics flight if he had the resources available.
The edition also brought other innovations. Roberto Menescal, the oldest musician on the Mundo Stage, celebrates the bossa nova reinterpretations made by young artists. In the samba sphere, a parish priest from the church of Santo Antônio in Caridade, in Ceará, is in the final partnership with the samba school Unidos da Tijuca.
In the spirit that the show doesn't end when it's over, the author plans a guide to take the festival's main attractions to visit Carioca spots, mentioning that Maroon 5 already knows the city so well that they probably step off the plane already familiar with it.
