The Rolling Stones have been offered another concert at Copacabana Beach – meaning they could take back their concert attendance record Madonna surpassed.
The Queen of Pop finished her Celebration tour in May by playing her biggest concert to an estimated 1.6 million fans at Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro.
In 2006, the veteran British rockers performed at the venue to 1.5 million people on their A Bigger Bang tour.
Daniel Grinbank, who organised the concert 19 years ago, has contacted the Stones to see if they would be interested in playing in South American again.
“The Stones have a massive following in South America and there is potential for them to take their Hackney Diamonds tour there in 2025,” a source told The Sun newspaper.
“The reception to the North American shows has been immense and Mick, Keith and Ronnie are still raring to go.
“Daniel has approached them about coming back to South America for some shows and thinks another concert at Copacabana 19 years on could see The Stones taking back the record from Madonna.
“The talks are ongoing but if anything is announced, it won’t be until the band have finished up their North America run.”
Rod Stewart’s 1994 show at Copacabana remains the largest free concert in history with an audience of 3.5 million people.
The Stones are set to take a break after they wrap up their North American tour in Missouri on July 21.
