SAO PAULO, Brazil — Bob Dylan leads a cast of groups including British bands Tears for Fears and The Eurythmics, Scotland’s Marillion, Bon Jovi of the United States and pop artist Terence Trent D’Arby for a six-day, two-city rock festival.
An estimated 90,000 Brazilians turned out Thursday out for opening night of Hollywood Rock, which moves next week to Rio de Janeiro.
Dylan, who wore a black leather jacket and jeans despite the near 100-degree summer heat, drew his loudest applause with his 1960s folk hits.
Although the 48-year-old singer was billed as the star of opening night, most of the teen-age fans who gathered Wednesday to see the groups arrive said they were waiting for a glimpse of the New Jersey band Bon Jovi.
