Those who cannot make it to Rock in Rio can follow the shows through Globo Channels. Over the years, some unusual moments ended up marking the festival's broadcast, generating memes and memorable situations for viewers.
In 2024, singer Akon's show on Palco Mundo generated many memes. The rapper got the name of the city wrong where he was performing, asking "São Paulo, how are you all feeling today?" when the festival takes place in Rio de Janeiro. Another unusual moment was when he tried to get into a bubble that would be thrown into the audience, but it burst as soon as he descended from the stage, and the artist was prevented, for security reasons, from performing with the audience.
Among the memorable moments from the broadcasts are Pedro Bial's comment about Axl Rose's butt and an interview with Christiane Torloni, which became remembered by the public. In 2011, another memorable moment involved the "wrong band" incident, when something did not go as planned during the broadcast.
