The boom of mega recitals: the ranking of artists that will add more spectators

Over the past twenty days, undoubtedly, the series of recitals that Coldplay have added to the River stadium to reach an all-time record of ten dates between the end of October and the beginning of November has aroused surprise and emotion. This milestone means a total of 550,000 tickets sold.

This real event reached the world press, which published the fact in amazement. In Argentina, however, this type of phenomenon seems to repeat itself every decade: in 2012 there were the nine Rivers of Roger Waters, in 2007 the six Rivers of Soda Stereo, and in 1994 the five Rivers of the Rolling Stones.

But not all mega recitals take place in the Monumental Stadium, because there are also artists with a great power of attraction who play in Vélez, Único, Campo de Polo, Hipodromo de Palermo and in the great theaters of via Corrientes.

To date, the great shows of the year have been: the three dates of the Lollapalooza festival at the San Isidro Hippodrome (300,000 people in total), the shows at the Campo del Polo (Kiss, Metallica and Gracias Totales, with 50,000 each) and the six recitals by Tini at the Palermo Hippodrome (with a total of 96 thousand spectators).

And here comes the end of the year another storm of concerts, which together reach more than 1,750,000 spectators, just taking into account those artists who fill the stadiums or give so many performances in large halls. Crazy. Let’s see the detail:

What’s coming this month

This month there are two big shows, both at the Movistar Arena: this Sunday and next Tuesday they arrive Wisin and Yandel with “La Ultima Misión”, which they ensure will close a stage in the history of the famous reggaeton duo, and on the 24th and 25th they will play Babasonic to present his recent album Trinchera.

Also, today is presented on Friday airbag at the Luna Park, with such public response that they added two more performances, on the 25th and 26th in the same place.

August: Arjona and Rosalía

Just as in July there is little mass activity due to the summer and winter boreal holidays (there will still be a Movistar Arena by the Erasure duo), during the month of August the record sales thermometer heats up: Ricardo Arjona has six Movistar Arena (5, 6, 7, 18, 19 and 20) and then the Spanish Rosalia will make two dates to submit mommyon 25 and 26.

And for those who are surprised by Arjona’s six stadiums, it must be remembered that he holds the record of the Luna Park: in 2006 he performed a total of 34 shows. In 2000 Rodrigo had made 13 and it was already something impressive.

September: from Giustino to Fito

Historically, as summer tours in the United States and Europe come to an end, the great artists begin to head for the territories of the southern hemisphere, both in Oceania and in Latin America.

That is how Justin Bieber will hold two shows at the Unico stadium in La Plata, on 10 and 11 September. That same Sunday green day will play in Vélez, both Tuesday 13 and Wednesday 14 Dua Lipa at the Palermo Hippodrome.

At the end of the month, Fito Paez will hold two recitals at the Movistar Arena (29 and 30) e Guns N ‘Roses will finally finalize its long-delayed pre-pandemic visit, Friday 30.

It is good to clarify that in all cases these are performances that were ending and, as far as possible, producers were adding new dates, within the possibilities of each artist’s tour schedule.

October: Coldplay begins (and more)

It is true that in October the historic slew of Coldplaywith the concerts on 25, 26, 28 and 29, but there is much more.

yankee dad opens the month with two Vélez, 1 and 2 October. There will also be two Velez de Dukibut then added another on November 11, adding three stadiums and nearly 135,000 spectators.

On October 14, a mega-festival that lands for the first time in the country will kick off: the prestigious one spring sound, with features that include decentralization by the Municipality of Buenos Aires. That’s why there will be a first date at the Olympic Park and then two more in November, at the Children’s Park. Characters like Björk, Arctic Monkeys, Lorde, Jack White, Pixies and Travis Scott will arrive

And to close the month, Oh! he will bring his powerful style of urban music to the Argentinos Juniors stadium, or rather to the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.

November: Bad Bunny, Serrat and Andrés

Final clarification: for the purposes of unifying the data, the maximum capacity of each property has always been taken, even if it is necessary to clarify that they may vary depending on the location of the scenario.

Also, this show calendar is not closed, as it is still possible to add more features for some artists. The audience, the musicians and the managers, happy. Everyone wins.
