Rock in Rio is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2024 with the launch of a musical production titled “Sonhos, Lama e Rock and Roll.” This original work will be presented at Cidade do Rock during this year’s edition of the festival.

The musical will delve into the history of the largest music and entertainment festival in the world, taking the audience on a journey behind the scenes of the creation of Rock in Rio.

The musical is expected to have a duration of 35 minutes and will have four showings every day of the festival, taking place in one of the arenas at the City of Rock.

Robert Medina, president of Rock World, expressed excitement about the production, stating, “The spectacle has not passed, remembering the year of 1984 when the idea of hosting a massive international music festival in the city was seen as an unreachable dream. We are working tirelessly to ensure that everything is perfect for the audience.”
