The Rolling Stones announced the release of their ‘Life On Copacabana Beach’ concert in Rio de Janeiro that took place on 18th February 2006. The show that was attended by around 1.5 million fans, was one of the biggest free concerts in music history.

Mick Jagger commented on that show: “It was amazing, It was a really good audience. They know how to enjoy themselves on those occasions.” Keith Richards added: “Not that we’re unused to playing some of the biggest shows in the world, but I must say Rio did take the cake”.

Original release of the concert from 2007 missed out four tracks: ‘Tumbling Dice’, ‘Oh No’, ‘Not You Again’, ‘This Place Is Empty’, and ‘Sympathy For The Devil’. This new release will be re-edited, remastered and in full for the first time. The band shared on Twitter: “Coming out July 9 – A Bigger Bang: Live On Copacabana Beach! Capturing one of the biggest free concerts & a critical moment in rock’n’roll history”.
