Carol Castro rocks the Rock in Rio marathon and 'replaces' Torloni as festival muse: 'It's rock day, baby!'

extra14 September 2026 at 08:00

Christiane Torloni, who became a meme reference in Brazil by citing a phrase that became famous among City of Rock attendees, is absent from this year's Rock in Rio. The actress's absence was felt by festival fans, who have been waiting 15 years for her return.

Carol Castro may have found a worthy successor to Torloni, at least in terms of enthusiasm. The actress showed excitement about the possibility of taking on the role of festival muse, saying it would be an honor to succeed her.

Carol Castro was present practically every day at Rock in Rio. She explained that she needed a break during the first weekend of the event after "burning the start" on opening Friday, needing Saturday to recover. However, by Sunday, even in the rain, she was at the festival, as well as the following day during the cold.

Carol Castro herself is already claiming her "muse badge" for this edition of Rock in Rio, celebrating her enthusiasm and constant presence at the event.

Why this matters

The article is relevant for Brazilian readers who follow Rock in Rio and national meme culture, as it connects two generations of figures associated with the festival — Christiane Torloni, a reference from the early days of the event, and Carol Castro, pointed out as her heir in terms of enthusiasm. The article also serves as an update for those who want to know who was present at the festival.
