David Bisbal Returns to Montevideo With a Crooner Album and 25 Years
Key Facts
- What happened. David Bisbal plays the Antel Arena in Montevideo on Saturday October 17.
- What it costs. Tickets run from 2,400 pesos (about US$60) to 8,000 pesos (about US$199).
- What he is touring. Eternos, an album of classic covers released on October 2, marking 25 years.
- The catch. No sector breakdown is published. The seat map sits behind a virtual queue.
- Who needs an adult. Under-15s must be accompanied. Under-3s enter free without a seat.
- What comes next. Rosario follows the next night, so the Uruguayan date is a one-off.
David Bisbal brings the Eternos tour to the Antel Arena on October 17, three years after his last Montevideo show. The tickets are still on sale, behind a queue.
This is the Spanish singer’s return to Uruguay on a tour built around standards rather than his own hits. For anyone in Montevideo, it is one night between two Argentine dates.
The Show
Bisbal plays the Antel Arena on Saturday October 17. Doors open at 19:30 and the show starts at 21:00.
Those times come from the venue’s own event page and appear nowhere else. Treat them as the venue’s word rather than as confirmed twice.
The producers are Piano Piano, a Uruguayan promoter, together with the Argentine company DF Entertainment.
Tickets are sold only through Tickantel. The promoter’s own wording is that it is the sole platform.
What It Costs, and What Is Missing
The published range runs from 2,400 pesos (about US$60) to 8,000 pesos (about US$199).
That range is all anyone outside the seller can see. Neither Tickantel nor the venue publishes a sector-by-sector table.
The seat map sits behind a virtual queue that requires a registered account, so the breakdown is not obtainable from open pages.
Conversions use 40.22 Uruguayan pesos to the US dollar, the Banco Central del Uruguay rate for September 8, 2026.
Those prices were set when the sale opened on May 13. No official update has appeared since, in either direction.
The venue still lists the show as on sale. Tickantel warns of high demand and routes buyers into a queue rather than straight to checkout.
Who He Is, for Anyone Who Missed 2002
David Bisbal is a Spanish singer from Almería, in Andalusia, now 47. He came second in the first series of Operación Triunfo, Spain’s star-making talent show.
Second, not first. His debut album Corazón Latino followed in 2002 and sold heavily across Spain and Latin America.
The songs most people know are Ave María, Bulería and Dígale. He also sang with Rihanna on Hate That I Love You in 2008.
That makes him a fixture of a particular Spanish-language pop era rather than a current chart act. The audience for this show knows every word.
The Album Behind the Tour
The tour is called Eternos and marks 25 years of his career. The promoter’s framing of the anniversary holds, since his breakthrough was 2001.
The album of the same name came out on October 2, two weeks before the Montevideo date. It is a crooner record of classic covers rather than new material.
So the show is likely to lean on standards alongside the hits. Nothing published sets out a setlist.
This is his second Antel Arena show. He played the same room on December 1, 2023, on his twentieth-anniversary tour.
Where Montevideo Sits in the Run
The Latin American leg runs to eighteen dates across nine countries and territories. Santiago opens it on October 6.
Lima follows on October 9, then Buenos Aires on the 12th and Córdoba on the 14th. Montevideo is the 17th.
Rosario comes the very next night, on the 18th, then Bogotá on the 21st and Santo Domingo on the 24th.
Puerto Rico, Mexico and the United States follow in November and December. Anyone flexible about the city has options either side of the river.
Getting There and Getting In
The Antel Arena is at Avenida Dámaso Antonio Larrañaga 4001, in Villa Española, about six kilometres northeast of the old city.
Bus lines 71, 79, 144, 174, 180, 192, 328, 330, 538, L41 and D8 all serve the area. Montevideo has no metro.
The site has 1,200 car spaces and 120 for motorcycles and bicycles. Book online in advance, or pay on arrival at the José Pedro Varela entrance.
Parking on the central medians of Varela and Larrañaga is banned. Two taxi ranks sit on the perimeter, and there are marked pickup points for ride-hailing apps on Larrañaga.
Children under three enter free without occupying a seat, and from four years up a ticket is required. Under-15s must be accompanied by a responsible adult over 18.
Nothing has been published about identification at the door. Tickantel requires a registered account to buy, which is a purchase rule rather than an entry rule.
