The most anticipated attraction of the 2026 edition of Rock in Rio, Sir Elton John, did not disappoint and delivered a perfect show, being the only one to deserve a perfect ten from all GLOBO critics.

Besides Elton John, another great highlight of the vote was Péricles, who shone by singing great Motown classics, sharing the spotlight with the British artist.
