Key Facts

  • What happened. Beéle plays Santiago on Wednesday October 7, at 21:00, on the Borondo tour.
  • The catch. The venue stopped being the Movistar Arena on Saturday. It is now the Santander Arena.
  • What it costs. Eight tiers from 40,250 pesos (about US$43) to 115,000 pesos (about US$123).
  • Still available. The bank presale sold out, but the general sale was still open today.
  • Who needs an adult. Under-15s must be accompanied, and children under three are not admitted.
  • What is not published. No doors time exists. The venue posts it on social media nearer the date.

The Colombian singer Beéle returns to Santiago on October 7. The building he plays changed its name two days ago, and most listings have not caught up.

If you are searching for this show, the venue name in your search is probably out of date. Everything else about the night is published in full, which is rarer than it sounds.

The Venue Changed Its Name on Saturday

The dome in Parque O’Higgins was the Movistar Arena for sixteen years. On Saturday September 6 it became the Santander Arena.

This is not a rumour or a plan. The old web address now redirects to the new one, and the site carries the new name throughout.

The change follows Telefónica’s sale of its Chilean business and the retirement of the Movistar brand there. The naming deal expired this month, and Banco Santander took it on.

The operator has not changed, and neither has the building. Only the name and the signage have.

Expect confusion for months. Even the seller’s own page carries the new name in its purchase header and the old one in its page title.

The venue’s own event page does the same thing, with a headline saying Santander Arena above a paragraph still saying Movistar Arena.

The Show

Beéle plays on Wednesday October 7 at 21:00. The address is Beaucheff 1204, in Santiago Centro.

The promoter is Multimúsica. The only authorised seller is Puntoticket, which the venue states explicitly for all its shows.

The tour is called Borondo: Detone y Abandone. It opened in Spain in July and runs through Europe and Latin America.

This is his second Santiago run in about a year. He played the same building in 2025, when it still carried the old name.

Prices, in Full

Eight tiers are published, which is unusually complete. The cheapest is Tribuna at 40,250 pesos, about US$43.

Platea Alta costs 51,750 pesos (about US$55), and the standing floor, Cancha, is 63,250 pesos (about US$68).

Platea Baja Silver is 86,250 pesos (about US$92) and Cancha VIP is 97,750 pesos (about US$105).

The most expensive seat, Platea Baja Golden, is 115,000 pesos (about US$123). Wheelchair spaces and companion seats are both 51,750 pesos.

Conversions use 933.82 pesos to the US dollar, the Banco Central de Chile observed rate for September 8, 2026.

A Banco Falabella presale opened on July 23 with a twenty per cent discount and sold out. The general sale opened the next day and was still marked available today.

Who Beéle Is

Brandon de Jesús López Orozco was born in Barranquilla, on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, in September 2002. He turns 24 three weeks before this show.

His music mixes Colombian coastal rhythms with afrobeat, dancehall and reggae. That Caribbean base is what separates him from the Medellín reggaeton sound most foreigners assume.

His first hit was Loco in 2019. The 2020 remix with Farruko, Natti Natasha and Manuel Turizo reached the Billboard Latin digital chart.

The real breakout came with his debut album Borondo, released in May 2025. Note the year, because at least one widely used reference gives 2024 and is wrong.

He has since released a collaborative album with Ozuna and an EP in August. He now has more than 35 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Entry Rules Worth Reading First

Everyone entering needs a ticket, including small children. Under-threes are not admitted at all.

From three years up a ticket must be bought, and anyone under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.

You need the ticket, printed or on a phone, plus your identity card or passport. The venue asks for both at the door.

Tickets for this show are not nominative. The venue applies that rule to some events, and this one’s published conditions do not include it.

No doors time has been published. The venue says it announces opening on its official social accounts nearer the date, so do not guess.

Getting There

The practical route is Metro Line 2 to Parque O’Higgins, or on foot along Tupper. The station sits beside the park.

Driving is more restricted than at most venues. Vehicle access requires a parking ticket bought in advance through the seller, not paid at the gate.

The entrance you use depends on what your parking ticket says, either Avenida Viel or Avenida Tupper. There is no on-site purchase.

The hall holds about 15,500 people and is Chile’s largest covered venue. A Wednesday show in Santiago Centro means a working-day crowd leaving late.
