Madonna’s tour ended with a bang. During the final, free concert organized on May 4 on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, crowds of the singer’s fans appeared. According to preliminary estimates, there were as many as 1.6 million of them. This is a record audience for Madonna. The star improved his best result more than tenfold. Previously, the most people listening to her live during one concert was in 1987 in Paris. It was 130 thousand fans.

Copacabana Beach is the perfect place to break records of spectators gathered at one concert.
In 2006, The Rolling Stones performed there and were listened to live by 1.2 million fans. In turn, in 1994, as many as 4 million people attended a free Rod Stewart concert. However, this event coincided with fireworks fired to welcome the New Year. Therefore, it is difficult to count how many guests had fun at the concert and how many came only to see the fireworks.
