Eduardo Ponciano, 23 years old, a resident of Juiz de Fora, in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais, purchased his Rock in Rio ticket on the first day of sales and decided to travel alone by bus to Rio de Janeiro as a day trip. The young man faced heavy rain and spent most of the day on the road to fulfill his dream of attending the festival.
After the Black Eyed Peas performance, Eduardo received an unexpected surprise: a photo of him enjoying the show was posted on the band's official social media profile, accompanied by a thank you message to Brazil.
According to Eduardo, when he received the post notification, he felt a mix of emotions, couldn't believe it, and even started trembling. He described the experience as "moments that make us feel alive" and said he will keep this memory forever.
For Eduardo, who had traveled alone and faced difficulties during the journey, the recognition from the international band made the Rock in Rio experience even more unforgettable and memorable.
