[4][8][9] This concert marks Gaga's return to Brazil after thirteen years, her last performances in the country being part of The Born This Way Ball tour in 2012, which included shows in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Porto Alegre.

[10][11] She was originally scheduled to headline the Rock in Rio festival in September 2017, but had to cancel due to severe pain caused by fibromyalgia, the same condition that ultimately forced her to end the Joanne World Tour later that year.

[7] During the press conference announcing the concert, Lucas Padilha, Rio’s Municipal Secretary of Culture, jokingly suggested that Gaga should now post "Brazil, I'm not devastated anymore," marking her return to the country and referencing the lasting impact of her 2017 cancellation on her followers.

[14] The concert is part of the Todo Mundo no Rio initiative, led by Bonus Track in collaboration with Live Nation, and is supported by the municipal government and sponsored by Corona.

[14] Niemeyer also confirmed that Lady Gaga will debut a brand-new show, which will premiere earlier at Coachella in April, and that her Rio de Janeiro performance will feature a setlist focused on her greatest hits.

[14] Rio de Janeiro's mayor, Eduardo Paes, emphasized the positive impact of the event, stating that "it helps build our identity.

"[24][25] He also noted that large-scale concerts at Copacabana Beach have historically generated significant economic benefits, citing performances by Jorge Ben (1993), Rod Stewart (1994), The Rolling Stones (2006), and Madonna (2024).

[31] Most reservations were made by tourists from nearby cities such as São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, and Brasília, as well as from countries including Argentina, Chile, and the United States.
