For the like named venue in Vegas, see City of Rock (Las Vegas).

The City of Rock (Cidade do Rock), located in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, is an events venue best known for hosting the music festival Rock in Rio.

Old City of Rock

The City of Rock was created for the Rock in Rio festival in 1985. In 2001, the event returned there for its third edition. It held crowds of up to 250,000 people in one night.

With the name "Complexo Esportivo Cidade do Rock" (City of Rock Sports Complex), the area became one of the venues of the 2007 Pan American Games. Temporary stadiums for baseball and softball, with a capacity of 3,000 and 2,000 respectively, were erected on the site.[1] The venue suffered with rain and power shortages, and both tournaments had games cancelled for bad field conditions.[2]

The Olympic Village for the 2016 Summer Olympics will be built upon the original site of the City of Rock.[3]

New City of Rock

New City of Rock was constructed to the southeast of the nearby Riocentro exhibition center, in a partnership between the city of Rio de Janeiro and Rock in Rio creator Roberto Medina. Known as "Parque Olímpico Cidade do Rock" (City of Rock Olympic Park) or "Parque dos Atletas" (Athletes' Park), the venue started being built in 2010 and was completed one year later, to host the fourth edition of Rock in Rio.[4] A fifth edition happened in 2013 and a sixth is scheduled for September, 2015.[5]

On 2012, two international concerts were hosted there. Lady Gaga performed at the park during her Born This Way Ball tour on November 9 with an attendance of 26,167,[6] and Madonna had a gig from the MDNA Tour on December 2 with an attendance of 34,709.[7] The Red Hot Chili Peppers performed there in November 2013 on their 2013 Tour.

The park is also set to host facilities for the 2016 Olympics.[8]

In May 8th of 2014, the City of Rock was the venue for the Where We Are Tour, by the British-Irish boyband One Direction with a total attendance of 40,000 people.
