In September 2017, American alternative rock band Incubus—at the peak of the 8 World Tour supporting the album 8 (2017), marking their return to heavier and progressive sound after Light Grenades—performed at Rock in Rio, sharing the bill with The Killers and Thirty Seconds to Mars at Cidade do Rock. The 90-minute show, captured in high quality, embodied the Latin American tour climax, where Mike Einziger's guitar riffs merged with José Pasillas' drum power and Brandon Boyd's vocal intensity to spark euphoria among 100,000 under Brazilian skies. Featuring tracks like "Wish You Were Here", "Anna Molly", and "Megalomaniac", this performance highlighted their veteran status in 2000s alternative rock, turning the festival grounds into a realm of collective unity.
