The concert, on June 2nd, is part
of the Rock In Rio 2006 Festival - the largest music event in the
world. Roger has visited Portugal before, playing his "In The Flesh"
show there in 2002.
As in the previous editions, the organization
behind the festival will donate part of the revenues to several
charities.
Apart from Roger, some of the most notable names in the
Portuguese and International music scene will be present during the
five days of the festival. Attendance is expected to be more than
500,000 people, with about 100,000 people every day on average.
Tickets are not yet on sale, although if you are not able to make it over to Portugal for the concert, all is not lost.
Network LIVE, a joint venture
between AOL, XM Satellite Radio and AEG, announced recently that the
company has secured exclusive rights for Rock in Rio, the world’s
largest multi-day music event. The agreement provides Network LIVE with
the exclusive US and international sales and rights for all broadcast
and media partners, outside of Portugal and Brazil.
This will be the
first year that Rock in Rio will also be made available for licensing
to all broadcast distribution platforms including (where applicable)
Internet, wireless/mobile, satellite and terrestrial radio and
television, and on a global basis. So, Roger's fans across the world
will hopefully be able to tune in to the show.
