Rock in Rio is a big music festival that started in the city of Rio de Janeiro during the 80´s. It was also held in Lisbon and Madrid. In 2011, Rock in Rio will take place in its original home, Rio de Janeiro during the last week of september.

Rock in Rio has been the largest rock festival in the world, with 1.5 million people in the first edition, 700,000 in the second, about 1.2 million in the third, and about 350,000 people in each of the 3 Lisbon editions.

 

The thing is, there´s this producer (Gabriel Simas - and no, he doesnt work with the Rock in Rio crew) that has been giving tips about the bands that will perform next year, and one of his tweets were:

"One of the band that will be in Rock in Rio is that one with the butterflies shower" -

Yesterday he annouced that Red Hot Chili Peppers would be one of the headliners and said that Snow Patrol and Coldplay would be there too:

"Snow Patrol will open for Red Hot Chili Peppers and Coldplay will be the headliner for another day in Rock in Rio. And Guns n´Roses" -

Source.

 

Hours after that RHCP and Snow Patrol were confirmed for the 2nd day of the festival.

But they were here in March... :uhoh: and they always come here at the end of their Tours: sep/2003, feb/2007 and mar/2010 (and thats why I can´t believe that this can be true....)

 

They´re starting to announce the band this week, but they already said that they´ll do it slowly... :dozey:

Metallica, RHCP and Snow Patrol are confirmed.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I'd go just for SP. :cheesy: But CP and SP would be like, heaven. :dead:

ah lucky then.

portugal has not seen them in a while.

 

rumours of coldplay playing in any of they EU RiR (Madrid, Lisbon) have been around the last years, but never became true. :\

 

good luck and hopefully that become true and they go to original RiR.

I think all the people here will be dead and making of ashes in 20011.

[SueDeNimes]

Title changed. :)

 

That butterfly clue sounds a lot like it'll be CP!

[AnnaElisabeth]

Hope they play! :nice: :D

[laga]

I hope so :nice:

if they will, I hope they announce it before the weekend, because the sale starts in 2 days :uhoh: and I'd like to know if we have to get tickets or not...

[Lore]

I don't think it's true but I've been thinking about going to Rock in Rio so it'd be awesome :awesome:

[ReecyBoy42]

I think it might be true. What other bands do the butterfly thing anyway?

[a-chan]

I'd go just for SP. :cheesy: But CP and SP would be like, heaven. :dead:

+1

 

But for me it's RHCP+SP+CP= HEAVEN :bomb: I really envy those who will be able to see these 3 amazing live bands!!!

[Paulinha coldplay]

OMG OMG, could be truuuue!:bomb:

But september 2011, Brazil would be the first country to host a concert after the VLV tour? Possibly the album will be reselased in march, april... And the first concert of the VLV tour was in July 2008 with VLVODAAHF being released in June... Well, it doesn't matter! :awesome::wacky:

[a2iel]

Woo! It's exciting hearing they are really being booked for next year! I am so impatient for the first youtube videos of new songs!

[AnnaElisabeth]

^ They aren't booked!

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

final list of RiR bands will be known this weekend right?

no changes might be done after that?

[SarahSchimidt]

I hope so :nice:

You dont need to worry about that! The tickets that will be sold now are half of the real amount...

And I don´t that they will confirm Coldplay´s perfomance by now... I think they´ll do it just by february/march by the time the band announces the releasing date of the new album.

No, they will just tell us some of the bands now, and the other performes will be know by the time they begin to sell the other half of the tickets, I guess....

[laga]

Oh, thank you for the info. :nice: I went to the official website and I freaked out when I learned the tickets sale starts tomorrow and we still don't know if it's true or not.

 

:bomb: I'm so hoping for this to be true...

it sounds unlikely, but I can still hope for it.

[Juanma]

Theres a possibility of them playing ...

If they do I'll try to go :p

[laga]

me too! :awesome:
