Well,
Rio is a place full of cool places to hang out.
The atmosphere is incredable and you guys will enjoy beiing anywhere.
There are bars such as: vinicios' bar, garota de ipanema, and pubs such as shennenigan's and lord Jim (all these places are located in ipanema -not in copacabana) and i would recommend them to you. They will be full of tourists and locals and they are in a nice area of the city. I would sugest to stay away from copacabana that day..
I suggest you spend part of your mourning in ipanema's beach having a feel drinks and enjoying the beautiful people and atmosphere. and then, heading to one of these places for a few more drinks and a good meal before the show. There are also a lot of bars, restaurantes (all types- japonese, french cousine, brazilian etc...), etc all over ipanema and leblon neighborhoods. Other places are (conversa fiada - ipanema), (informal - ipanema), etc etc. Anyway, there too many places.
Copacabana (beach and the 2 avenues after the beach will all be closed that day. So there will be a lot of room. Both horizoltally and vertically. But there will also be a lot of people. Dont get there 2.late if you want a good spot. But also dont worry...It will work out fine! The structure is huge.I mean, huge!!! The screens are huge also, and there are more amplifiers around the stage and along the beach and avenues than one can imagine! I also dont suggest beeing too close to the stage. You will see fine and hear fine from a nice distance, where you will also have room to "breath" hahahahaha.
If i can give more suggestions, let me know! Or if you need the addresses of these places i can passa them on to you also.
Peace
