ROCK IN RIO USA WILL HOST FIVE WEDDINGS PER DAY IN AN UNPRECEDENTED SETTING DURING MAY 2015 FESTIVAL IN LAS VEGAS
COUPLES CAN SUBMIT THEIR LOVE STORIES NOW TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ONE OF THE FREE CEREMONIES AT THE ROCK IN RIO CHAPEL
Rock in Rio, the legendary music festival, will host five weddings per day at the upcoming Rock in Rio USA in Las Vegas May 8 – 9 and 15 – 16, 2015. The chosen lucky couples will be married at the Rock in Rio Chapel, part of the festival’s Rock Street experience, an unprecedented location on the famed Las Vegas Strip.
Couples can submit their love story at [email protected] to be considered for one of the limited free ceremonies, surrounded by music at Rock in Rio’s first-ever festival in the U.S. This is the first time the festival will have a real wedding chapel and no other destination could be more fitting than Las Vegas, the Wedding Capital of the World.
The theme of love has run through multiple editions of the international festival, with the first wedding taking place at Rock in Rio Brazil in 2011 at the request of one lucky couple. The wedding attendee that caught the bouquet at this 2011 ceremony continued the magic at the 2013 festival, where she also got married at the City of Rock. There was also a wedding at Rock in Rio Lisbon in 2014. Now the tradition continues in a major way at Rock in Rio USA.
In anticipation for the May event, Rock in Rio took over Times Square in New York City on Friday, September 26 to announce the first acts that will perform at Rock in Rio USA: Metallica, Linkin Park, Taylor Swift and No Doubt will take the Main Stage and Deftones and John Legend will perform on the Sunset Stage. The crowd was also treated to special surprise performances by past Rock in Rio performers Sepultura with Tambours du Bronx and John Mayer. Rock in Rio continues to celebrate the upcoming U.S. festival with this week’s installation of a 27-foot-tall custom guitar that will greet visitors and locals flying to and from McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.
