Rock in Rio USA: already announced names
In addition to the Main and Sunset stages, which will host the larger pop acts and be geared toward rock and indie, the festival has also rolled out the more niche genre and region-specific areas.
The full electronic stages have been rolled out with a strong presence of Brazilian acts in the first weekend and then some open-format and female DJs on the second weekend. The Rock Street and Country stages will be held down by the same acts each night, so if you want a country flavor, there will be plenty of time to see either Stones the Beetles, Academy of Villians or Pepeu Gomes on either stage.
See the full daily lineup below via a press release and grab tickets for Rock in Rio here. Head to the festival's website for more information.
