Iron Maiden je britská heavy metalová skupina založená v roku 1975 basistom Stevom Harrisom, ktorá je priekopníkom New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Patrí k najobľúbenejším predstaviteľom žánru, po celom svete predala viac ako 90 miliónov nosičov a jej hudba zásadne ovplyvnila metalovú scénu 80. rokov aj nasledujúce generácie kapiel.
Rock in Rio zachytáva vystúpenie Iron Maiden na rovnomennom festivale v Riu de Janeiro 19. januára 2001, ktoré ukončilo turné Brave New World Tour. Ide o piaty živý album skupiny, vydaný v roku 2002 na troch vinyloch (19 skladieb) vo vydavateľstve Parlophone. Kapela hrala pred druhým najväčším publikom svojej kariéry a nahrávka oslavuje návrat speváka Bruca Dickinsona a gitaristu Adriana Smitha do zostavy. Setlist kombinuje klasické hity ako The Number of the Beast, Hallowed Be Thy Name a Run to the Hills s materiálom z albumu Brave New World (The Wicker Man, Brave New World) a zahŕňa aj piesne z éry s Blazeom Bayleyom.
V čase vydania albumu tvorili jadro skupiny Steve Harris (basgitara, sprievodné vokály, klávesy), Nicko McBrain (bicie) a Janick Gers (gitara).
