David Guetta: New year at Copacabana beach, Rio,Brazil


A nod to David Guetta, the biggest name in French music at the moment, for his show in Brazil on new year's eve, where he played to around 2 million people at Copacabana beach.

At the event, the new year was marked with around 24 tons of fireworks were let off, launched from 11 boats, in a 16 minute display.

Guetta was among the acts performing on four stages around the Copacabana area of the city.

Guetta said on Twitter ahead of the show: "Electricity is in the air. The vibe is so crazy already in rio. Cariocas , get ready! The biggest show of my life tonight 2 million people!"

A friend who was at the show wrote: "You know you've had a good New Year's Eve when you've only taken about 2 photos, wake up covered in mud and lipstick and champagne, have a whole bunch of new friends, but can't remember their names, feel like death, have vague memories of sipping whiskey from a bowl whilst on the shoulders of some random Brazillian guy listening to Avicii Levels blasted by Guetta with 2 million ameigos!"

Guetta has since said he is suffering from a fever, ahead of further dates in South America, saying "Brazil is the most extraordinary place but I'm so f**king sick. It's hard to perform with fever but I don't want to let anyone down."

He's recently released the song Titanium, the fourth song to be taken from his Nothing but the Beat album that was released on 2011.

With his new year off to a massive start, it looks like Guetta's status as the world's biggest DJ is set to continue well into the forseeable future.
