Lady Gaga sets record for largest attended, female-led concert in history

On May 3, 2025, Lady Gaga attracted approximately 2.5 million people to a no-charge performance on Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach, setting a new attendance record for a female artist.
Brazilian authorities prevented a bomb plot orchestrated by individuals promoting hateful messages targeting children and LGBTQ+ groups, allowing the concert to continue without incident.
The show featured five thematic acts including songs from Gaga’s new album 'Mayhem' and her classic hits, with elaborate staging, special effects, and a finale of fireworks over the water.
Gaga said, "Tonight, we’re making history," and expressed gratitude on social media for sharing a historical moment with the vibrant culture and people of Brazil.
The record-breaking concert marked Gaga’s first Brazil performance in over a decade and is expected to boost Rio’s tourism economy, with the city hosting similar events annually through 2028.
