As the name suggests, the iconic rock music festival originated in the Brazilian party capital of Rio. Soon it branched into several more locations, one of which was the capital city of Portugal. That's how Rock in Rio Lisboa was founded in 2004. Although a lot of time has passed since the 1985 inaugural party in Rio de Janeiro, it's still a pretty big deal. Since then, the Portuguese edition has grown into a phenomenal fiesta that gathers world-known megastars of all genres from rock legends to modern pop stars, as well as tens of thousands of revellers at its stage.
