Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger is reportedly planning to set up his own music event in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
The Rolling Stones made their debut at Glastonbury Music festival this summer and the group's iconic front man wants to have a similar hippy theme for his own version, reported Contactmusic.
"Mick has put some feelers out in Brazil to put on a big show. The plans are ambitious but if he pulls it off it will be huge. The whole vibe of the event is very much 'flower power' and the same hippy values that Glastonbury prides himself on," a source said.
"The publicity drive will begin in the next six months or so but there's no doubt there will be big names on the bill,' it added.
The event, which is tentatively set for November 2014, is said to be in line to replace the annual Rock In Rio festival held each September.
