02.16.06 The Rolling Stones Are Set To Make History In Rio!



On February 18th, the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro will know the full meaning of "A Bigger Bang".

Nearly 2,000,000 fans are estimated to party
alongside the Stones at Rio's famed Copacabana Beach.

Nearly 1,500 people have been assembled as crew
to produce this record-breaking event.

Nearly 200 movie theatres will broadcast the historic
concert to cheering fans across North America.

Countless beams, poles, and rigs are being used to assemble
the 22 meter-high by 57 meter-wide main stage
and the 55 meter-long B-Stage.

A staggering 16 towers and 8 video screens
will adorn the main stage.

All for 1 night only!

Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie couldn't have given this tour a more fitting name.

Whatever you do, don't miss The Rolling Stones as they rock Rio at the Copacabana Beach. If you can't be there in person to enjoy the sun in your face, the sand between your toes, and - most importantly - Satisfaction in your ear, make sure to tune into AOL and XM satellite radio to hear it live or visit a participating movie theater to see it on the big screen.

This is more than a show: it is history.
This is more than rock 'n roll, but we like it!
