Overview
- Rock in Rio resumed its second and final weekend on Friday, Sept. 11, with Palco Mundo programmed entirely for K‑pop acts NEXZ, Hwasa and Stray Kids in a move that highlights the genre’s prominence at the festival.
- Stray Kids are the night’s headliners and are scheduled to close Palco Mundo at 00:05, a set time published in the festival program that may run slightly late.
- Thousands of fans gathered early for the K‑pop day, with reports of hundreds queuing before 6 a.m. in rain and cold and long lines at the official Stray Kids pop‑up at Shopping Metropolitano Barra.
- City and festival operators activated a special mobility plan that includes the BRT Expresso ticket sold through the Jaé app, a 24‑hour metro operation on event days and credential plate‑reading at perimeter checkpoints to control access.
- Broadcasters Multishow, Canal Bis, Globoplay and TV Globo are carrying multi‑platform coverage including a 4K Multishow signal for subscribers while other stages such as Global Village showcase Brazilian acts like Félix Robatto’s Lambateria, underscoring the festival’s multi‑genre programming.
