Apart from the annual New Year’s Eve event on Copacabana Beach, the Rolling Stones held the previous record for largest audience for almost twenty years. As excitement has been building for weeks in Rio for Madonna’s first performance in Brazil in over 10 years, fans flocked to get a glimpse of the best-selling female artist of all time to witness the final show of her enormously successful The Celebration Tour.

Copacabana Beach was turned into the world’s largest dancefloor as Madonna performed some of her biggest hits from her peerless music catalogue. Described as her most personal tour to date, The Celebration Tour does not only honor Madonna’s four decades of iconic music but is an homage to her unprecedented life, unique artistry and groundbreaking career.
