World-famous singer Lady Gaga made history with a grand concert on Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach on May 3, where an incredible crowd of around 2.5 million fans gathered to see her live.
But what went wrong at Lady Gaga's concert?
Two people arrested on suspicion of planning an attack at a Lady Gaga concert in Rio de Janeiro were targeting LGBTQ+ people, police said on Sunday.
According to Rio de Janeiro Police, the duo had tried to "recruit" people, including teenagers, to carry out coordinated attacks at Saturday's concert, using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails. The purpose of the planned attack, according to police, was "to gain fame on social media."
Meanwhile, in a separate development following police searches at nine addresses across Brazil, a third person who allegedly planned to carry out a "Satanist ritual" by killing a child or infant during the concert was charged with terrorism offences, according to Brazilian police.
An estimated 2.1 million concertgoers attended the free show on Rio's Copacabana Beach, for what was Gaga's first performance in Brazil since 2012.
The suspects were part of an online hate group that worked to radicalize young people, police said. They also promoted “the spread of hate crimes, self-harm, pedophilia and violent content,” police added.
