Christ, even that name, Rock In Rio USA, doesn't work...


There is already a Rock In Rio Lisboa. Pathetic, imo.

Rock In RIo Lisboa is a huge success every year. I think mostly because we don't have big "stars" coming to Portugal quite often, so people go crazy.

I think it was a flop in Spain. Not sure how it'll work in the US. They are used to having big tours there. I'm thinking they will go with very popular bands, so maybe Korn, Avenged Sevenfold and the likes. Or they can get stuff like Queens Of The Stone Age, Machine Head, Mastodon, who have all performed in Rock In Rio in the past.

Actually, that sounds way better. I guess they don't want to lose the brand. It does sound a bit strange

Yes, it was. In 2012 most of the bands played electronic pop music, only the last night with Incubus and Red Hot Chili Peppers was just "not bad". Lisboa editions have always been so much better than Madrid.

Maybe it was the line-up but I remember the organizers saying in Portugal that it was a flop in Spain. You never got Metallica or something? They usually play in every Rock In Rio.

Metallica played here in 2010. It was a very good festival, with Bon Jovi, Motorhead, Rage Against the Machine among others. But the 2012 edition was a flop. I think that it's for this reason that this year edition, which was initially meant to take place in Madrid, was moved to Lisboa. A very good choice, indeed. El Pais wrote that the economic crisis prevented the organization of the festival this year.
