Huge crowds head to Copacabana for free Lady Gaga concert

On Saturday, Lady Gaga is performing a free mega-concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro with thousands of fans gathering early to attend.
The concert follows Lady Gaga's promotional tour for her eighth album Mayhem and her first Brazil visit since 2012, with an expected turnout of 1.6 million people.
Local authorities deployed a security force of 5,000 officers using drones, facial recognition, surveillance cameras, and metal detectors to manage the large crowd.
Rio officials anticipate that the event will inject approximately $100 million into the local economy, representing an increase of about 30 percent compared to last year’s city-sponsored free concert by Madonna at the same location.
The event illustrates strong fan enthusiasm and economic aims, with fans like Alisha Duarte arriving at daybreak and attendees expecting an unforgettable, emotional show.
