Rock in Rio has confirmed the initial headliners for its 2015 festival. Queens of the Stone Age, System of a Down, and Faith No More will perform during the seven-day event, which is billed as the world’s biggest music festival. Past editions of the festival have drawn over one million festival-goers.
