Information

Announced by the band and the festival on 30th October 2018, they were headlining and closing Rock In Rio 2019 in Brazil alongside Imagine Dragons and Nickelback. The show was followed by a firework show.

Stage set-up was the same as with the Mexico gigs, allthough no upper "spaceship" trusses were used and were replaced with 10 light strips.

Break It To Me, Houston Jam and Take a Bow were cut out of the set. This was likely due to a curfew for the fireworks show.

The Dark Side was delayed for a minute due to technical difficulties.

Some fans met Matt and Dom in the evening before the show, at the hotel, and they asked for Showbiz. They said that they would likely not play it due to the time they're given for their set, but that they might play it later in Latin America.

Despite Matt breaking the neck of the Manson Matt Black 3.0 at Foro Sol 3 days before, he used it again this time for the Metal Medley.

During Algorithm the usual mech suits simply walked on stage. They then walked around to various points on the stage throughout the song.

This was one of the biggest crowd the band played in front of on the Simulation Theory Tour, with around 100,000 people in the audience.

Media

The gig was streamed live by G1 Globo. A rerun of the stream was played with a 4 hour delay by Slacker Radio's LiveXLive. There were also HDTV and a satellite feeds. Even if the best video source is the satelite feed, the HDTV still has better audio source, whereas the other one sound more lossy and compressed, like both livestreams. A download of the satellite feed with HDTV audio can be found here. Full audio of the gig can be downloaded in 16-bit here and in 24bit here.
