Rio's city hall presented planning for Shakira's show on Saturday (2nd) in Copacabana, which is expected to receive 2 million people. The operation will mobilize nearly 8,000 security agents and a special transport and traffic scheme. The singer has already arrived in Rio and is staying at the Copacabana Palace.

Rio de Janeiro has a history of hosting large musical events on Copacabana beach, with expertise developed over the years. The "Todo Mundo no Rio" event with Shakira follows the integrated model used in previous large events in the city, such as Lady Gaga's show in May last year.
