Initially, Def Leppard was scheduled to play at the festival.The January 20 appearance of the B-52's would turn out to be their last with guitarist Ricky Wilson, who died from AIDS in October of that year as the band was finishing their next album.They joined the band from the third song on and played along with them for the remainder of the performance. Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, at the time Talking Heads drummer and bass player, respectively, took part at the B-52's concerts.(Wiedlin would return to the reunited 1990s lineup.) The two Rock in Rio shows were the debut and swansong for short-tenured Go-Go's member Paula Jean Brown, who had replaced Jane Wiedlin. The Go-Go's broke up after their two Rock in Rio performances, (headlined by Queen and Rod Stewart) though they would later reunite in the 1990s.

They performed in front of a crowd of 100,000 people. Dickinson continued to sing in spite of heavy bleeding. During the song 'Revelations', lead singer Bruce Dickinson hit himself accidentally with a guitar and cut his eyebrow.

Iron Maiden was the only non-Brazilian act to play just one concert at the festival (on its opening night, headlined by Queen), due to other bookings, while every other international act performed twice.

It was later broadcast in the United States on MTV as ' Queen: Live in Rio'. Each show was watched by nearly 200 million people in over 60 countries and in front of 80,000вЂ“100,000 people for each night setting a world record for the biggest paying audience ever at the time.

Both Queen shows were filmed (early on January 12 and January 19) and broadcast throughout Brazil by Globo.

In May 2018, Live Nation Entertainment acquired a majority stake in the festival (including from previous stakeholder SFX Entertainment), with Medina continuing to manage the festival's operations. Rock in Rio is one of the largest music festivals in the world, with 1.5 million people attending the first event, 700,000 attending the second and fourth, about 1.2 million attending the third, and about 350,000 people attending each of the three Lisbon events. In 2011, Rock in Rio returned to its original location, Rio de Janeiro, with a new line-up of singers and groups. Brazilian entrepreneur and advertiser Roberto Medina was responsible for the inception and organization of the festival, as well as moving the 2004 edition to Lisbon, while controversially keeping the brand 'Rock in Rio'. It later branched into other locations such as Lisbon, Madrid and Las Vegas.Д®ight incarnations of the festival have been held in Rio de Janeiro, in 1985, 1991, 2001, 2011, 2013, 2015, 20, eight in Lisbon, in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 20, three in Madrid in 2008, 20 and one in Las Vegas, in 2015.
