Excerpts from the longer article: 


On Friday, Rock in Rio 2015 will kick off its 30th edition of the festival with performances by Onerepublic, The Script, and none other than the legendary band Queen, with Adam Lambert. Queen appears to be garnering most of the attention for their upcoming performance, as according to international ticketing company Ticketbis, 19.4 percent of tickets sold for the event have been for Queen’s stage performance, the most out of any of the seven main acts. And this is no coincidence, as Queen has a very unique and special relationship with this famous festival.

In 1985, the band opened for the first edition of Rock in Rio, and moved Brazil with an outstanding performance that ended in the audience passionately singing along to “Love Of My Life,” marking one of the most iconic moments in the history of the festival. “The audience just took over the song and sang it beautifully to the end,” remembers drummer Roger Taylor in an interview with Globo. Now 30 years later, the band is back, this time with Adam Lambert elegantly filling the boots of Freddie Mercury, who passed away in 1991.

So wonderful that QAL has sold the most tickets. There are HUGE acts at RIR, so it really is an immense compliment that they are so in demand. AND, many of those Queen fans will be seeing ADAM for the first time. I am quite sure they will fall in love. The Sao Paulo show was, of course, stellar.
