Divididos in Buenos Aires, Argentina: Four Teatro Flores Nights in December 2026

Divididos Buenos Aires 2026 ends the year at home: ‘La Aplanadora del Rock’ plays four December nights — the 9th, 10th, 16th and 17th — at Teatro Flores, the band’s home-room in the barrio of Flores.

For expats in Buenos Aires, this is Argentine rock royalty in its natural habitat — Ricardo Mollo’s guitar heroics in a packed neighborhood theater.

Divididos Buenos Aires 2026: The Four Nights

Teatro Flores hosts the year-end stand on December 9, 10, 16 and 17 — the theater’s own listings confirm all four dates.

Early nights sold out quickly; the venue directs fans to Passline for the remaining dates.

The split pattern — two nights, a pause, two more — is the band’s deliberate rhythm at this venue, keeping each pair of shows at full intensity.

La Aplanadora at Home

Born in 1988 from the remains of Sumo, Divididos fused hard rock, funk and Argentine folk into something entirely their own.

Ricardo Mollo’s guitar playing — equal parts Hendrix and Pappo — remains one of the great live sights in Latin American rock.

Their sound — ‘la aplanadora’, the steamroller — earned the nickname honestly: few trios anywhere produce this much volume and groove.

A Flores Tradition

Teatro Flores is more than a venue for this band: the December residency there has become a year-end ritual for Porteño rock fans.

The room’s size keeps the show close and loud in a way no arena can match.

The December dates follow the band’s pattern of closing years at the theater, a ritual that Porteño rock fans now treat as fixed calendar.

Practical Tips for Expats

Tickets via Passline; sold-out nights occasionally release new batches, so register for alerts.

Teatro Flores sits on Avenida Rivadavia in Flores — Subte Line A (San José de Flores area) and multiple bus lines serve it.

Flores is a working-class barrio with strong character; arrive before dark for a choripán on Avenida Rivadavia, then walk in with the crowd.

From Sumo’s Ashes

When Sumo dissolved after Luca Prodan’s death in 1987, Mollo and Arnedo regrouped as Divididos — and built a second legacy that now stands beside the first.

The band’s catalog folds Argentine folk rhythms into hard rock, a combination that sounds like nothing else in Latin America.

Albums like ‘Acariciando lo Áspero’ remain touchstones; the recent self-titled record proved the trio still writes with teeth.

Teatro Flores: The Room and the Ritual

The theater sits on Avenida Rivadavia in Flores, a grand old room that has hosted a century of entertainment before becoming the band’s December home.

Inside, the floor is standing and close — Mollo’s guitar solos happen at arm’s length, which is the entire point.

For expats, a Divididos night at Flores is the fastest available immersion into Argentine rock culture: passionate, loud and welcoming.

Mollo’s Guitar: The Main Event

Ricardo Mollo is routinely voted among Latin America’s greatest guitarists, and the Divididos show is built around his playing.

His style fuses Pappo’s blues attack with punk velocity and folk voicings — a combination no imitator has cracked.

At Teatro Flores distances, you watch the hands, not the screens: there are none.

Choosing Your Night

The run splits into two pairs — December 9–10 and December 16–17 — giving midweek options across two consecutive weeks.

The second pair carries the closing-night weight; the first carries the freshness. Either way, Teatro Flores in December is the band at its most at home.
