After 10 years abroad, the festival returned to Rio de Janeiro in 2011 to stay. The Brazilian public expected this for a decade and 700 thousand tickets sold out in just 4 days.
Two special moments marked this edition. One of them was the tribute show to the group Legião Urbana, which was attended by former members of the band and other leading artists. The musicians of the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra, which made thousands of people thrill at the World Stage, led the performance. Another important moment was the creation of Rock Street, a space that privileged other musical styles such as blues and jazz. The inspiration came from the mood of the city of New Orleans, with all its musicality and bohemia.
