   This will be the fourth time Rio de Janeiro hosts the world's biggest music festival. In early May more than 600,000 tickets were sold in just 72 hours. A Riotur study has estimated that 10% of the crowd will be foreign tourists, 35% Brazilian tourists and 55% locals.According to Riotur, about US$ 233 million will be spent during the festival by the tourists coming from outside Rio. The gigs will be played from September 23 to October 2 in a large area of Barra da Tijuca, in the west [3] of Rio. Thevenue [4] has been named City of Rock Olympic Park. Maganews has prepared a special edition on the show.
