LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rock in Rio, the legendary music festival celebrating its 30th anniversary, has announced additional artists for the lineup of its first stateside edition, taking place May 8-9 and May 15-16 in Las Vegas.

Doors for the City of Rock open at 3 PM and close at 2 AM with Rock Street performances starting at 3:30 PM and continuing throughout the entire day.  Sunset Stage performances will also begin at 3:30 PM with the first Main Stage artist performing at 5:30 PM each day.

Rock in Rio: 30 years of music history

In addition to the excitement surrounding the first U.S. edition of Rock in Rio, the festival is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2015. The event started big, breaking records from the first edition: in 1985 1.38 million people gathered at the first City of Rock in Rio de Janeiro, to watch iconic artists like Queen, AC/DC, James Taylor, George Benson, Ozzy Osbourne, Yes and Rod Stewart over the course of 10 days. The venue, specifically built for the event, was named City of Rock and was filled with shops and restaurants. Also unique was founder Roberto Medina's idea that the public was what really set live shows apart, and therefore they should be illuminated, and not only the artist performing.

Over the years, Rock in Rio has grown into a global phenomenon and has been staged in three countries: Brazil, Portugal and Spain. With more than 7.4 million people attending in 14 editions, more than 1270 artists have performed in 85 days of event. Over the past editions, more than 148,000 jobs have been created and more than 1 billion people have watched the concerts worldwide.
