Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was McCartney's second time playing Copacabana Beach; his 1993 free show there drew 350,000, making this 2023 audience over four times larger.

Cultural

Brazil's enduring Beatles obsession stems partly from the military dictatorship banning their music in 1966, making McCartney's returns feel like cultural reclamation.
