'It's like everyone were one big family': fans share what it's like to go alone to Rock in Rio

cbn11 September 2026 at 16:25

For some fans, the Rock in Rio experience involves the decision to wait for someone to accompany them or simply go alone. And for those who choose the second option, the lack of company is far from being a problem. Between shows, lines, and activations, the festival also becomes an opportunity to meet new people and enjoy each moment at your own pace.

Maria Gabriela dos Santos from São Paulo always had a dream of experiencing one of the world's largest music festivals. About to turn 40, the actress and playwright decided to turn the desire into reality, even without her friends who couldn't accompany her.

Three months in advance, she bought a ticket for Sunday, the 13th, when she plans to watch shows by artists like Bruna Black, Lola Young, and Lourena. She had made a list of things she still hadn't done in her life, and going to Rock in Rio was among them.

Maria Gabriela even asked several friends if they wanted to go with her, but none could accompany her. Still, she decided to go alone, without this being a problem. For those going alone, the festival becomes an experience of meeting new people and enjoying each moment at your own pace.

CADERNOS DO ORIENTE – WHEN PAINTING SAYS GOODBYE: «QUARENTENA» ENTERS ITS FINAL HOUR AT CASA GARDEN

The "Quarentena" exhibition by Carlos Morais José, which crosses painting and poetry at Casa Garden — Fundação Oriente in Macau, holds its closing session on September 12, 2026, at 4:30 PM, with a final conversation with the author in the Lower Gallery. The exhibition, inspired by Morais José's poetry, explores the relationship between pictorial matter and literary dimension, proposing a territory where image and word approach one another without one illustrating the other. The title evokes suspension, retreat, and transformation, summoning a reflection on isolation and interiority. For those who have not yet visited the exhibition, this session represents the last opportunity to discover the work and participate in dialogue with the artist.
