Attracting more than five million people annually carnival in Rio de Janeiro is one of the world’s most spectacular celebrations. It is often classified as the world’s biggest party and understandably so. For more than a week the country comes to a halt and the streets of Rio de Janeiro and the rest of the country are filled with colour, costumes, music and fantasy.

With a line up featuring world renowned artists Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Iron Maiden, David Guettea, Alicia Keys and Bon Jovi it comes as no surprise that tickets for one of the world’s biggest music festival Rock in Rio 2013 sold out in four hours. For seven days Rio de Janeiro will focus the attention of the music world from the 13-15 and 19-22 of September 2013.
