Queen of pop Dua Lipa brought the curtains down on the Rock in Rio music festival on Sunday after a series of concerts over seven days, with the stage on the closing night exclusively reserved for female performers.
The seventh day of the ninth festival “Rock in Rio” was aimed at empowering women artists and performed big names such as: Rita Ora, Megan Thee Stallion and Macy Gray from the United States and Ivete Sangalo and Ludmilla.

Around 100,000 fans turned up at the City of Rock venue for the final night of the festival – which will now return in 2024.
