Rock in Rio announces sold-out dates and new food pre-ordering app

Rock in Rio has announced several updates ahead of its upcoming festival dates. Tickets for the September 7 performance headlined by Elton John are now completely sold out, following an extraordinary sale of remaining inventory. Other dates that have also reached full capacity include September 6, featuring Calvin Harris, and September 12, featuring Maroon 5.

To improve the attendee experience, the festival has launched an official app allowing fans to pre-purchase food and beverages from brands such as Heineken, Coca-Cola, and Red Bull. This system uses unique QR codes for redemption at designated fixed bars. The initiative also includes a sustainability component where fans receive a reusable cup with their first purchase, which can be reused or exchanged for discounts on subsequent drinks.

Elton John’s performance is expected to include the song ‘Skyline Pigeon,’ a track with historical significance in Brazil. His set on the Palco Mundo stage will follow performances by Gilberto Gil, Jon Batiste, and Luísa Sonza.
