In Brians letter in the fan club magazine he stated that they were looking into playing the concert with 'someone else'. [ed: a guest singer perhaps...]

The concert takes place on Jan. 12 through 21 2001. Other artists said to be performing are Guns 'n' Roses, Foo Fighters and 5ive - all of which have some prior relationship with Queen.

Queen headlined the first Rock in Rio in 1985 which marked their triumphant return to South America.
