Hey everybody. I just want you to know that Rock In Rio is coming to the US in 2015 and it will be taking place in Las Vegas on May 8, 9, 15 and 16, 2015. John Mayer will be there who will be performing. Performers in Rock In Rio USA includes Metallica, John Legend, Linkin Park, Taylor Swift, No Doubt, and Deftones. Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran will also be performed too. Now, here's what Rock In Rio has to say about this. Let's take a look.
"Rock in Rio USA Dates Announced: the One Year Countdown Begins! 30th Anniversary Festival to take place in Las Vegas May 8-9, 2015 and May 15-16, 2015.
Ready… set… GO! We’re staring to reveal the line-ups for Rock in Rio Las Vegas and Rock in Rio Brazil. The first five names announced during an official event in New York City’s Times Square on September 26th symbolize the musical diversity of the festival. The list ranges from R&B to heavy metal, with names known for their spectacular performances. OK, we won’t keep you any longer, we know you want to know; here’s the beginning of the list:
LAS VEGAS
Metallica: This is one of the greatest names in the world of heavy metal and needs no introduction. The band knows Rock in Rio quite well; in fact, they’ve played at the festival six times already. We can be sure that what they will bring to the stage for a seventh time will be their very best, as we’re counting on another historic show.
Linkin Park A result of the blend between rock and rap, Linkin Park is an old acquaintance. The guys already set the City of Rock on fire in 2008, 2012 and 2014, when they performed at Rock in Rio Lisbon. The Hunting Party, released this year, is proof of this force.
John Legend: Singer, composer, musician and producer who’s reached tremendous success, John Legend’s strong suit is R&B with heavy soul influences, plus a little hip-hop too. Love in The Future, his most recent album, exemplifies his talent for beautiful melodies. And it will be even prettier onstage.
No Doubt: Ska, rock, pop, punk and even traces of hip-hop can be found in the irresistible and inimitable sound of No Doubt. With the endlessly charismatic Gwen Stefani running the show, the band is known for their outstanding stage performances.
Taylor Swift: Perfectly combining country and pop music in her sound, Taylor Swift launches her new album “1989″ in October. Don’t miss the chance to listen to songs from her fifth album LIVE at Rock in Rio USA. It will be an awesome party.
Deftones: The Deftones are making their grand return to Rock in Rio with their unique rock and roll sound. We’re still thinking about the time they played Brazil in 2001 and can’t wait to see them once more at Rock in Rio USA."
Sounds like a good choice. Taylor Swift would be perfect for Rock In Rio since country music don't seem to care about Taylor Swift and Taylor Swift will only appeal pop, not country. So Taylor Swift will only do mainstream since country music is not mainstream and it has to be pop/hip-hop/alternative/soul/rock/EDM. Good thing rock music is mainstream, but not country. That's why popular music don't care about popular music in general like country music and Spice Girls. Popular music only appeal mainstream like pop music and Britney Spears. So I think Taylor Swift should perform any of her country singles in rock remix like Picture To Burn and Mean because all Taylor Swift songs like Ours needs to be mainstream, not country. So good choice. She can think about rock music as her next genre because Taylor Swift needs to tackle new genres now that Taylor Swift is out of country music and country music has moved on. I hope Taylor Swift gets to save rock music.
Come on, US. You need to pay attention to rock music like Nickleback. Rock music is mainstream and yet US mainstream don't care about rock music like Linkin Park. 2015 would be a perfect year for rock music's US comeback.
