One Night at the Antel Arena
The concert is a single night at the Antel Arena, the city’s multi-purpose indoor arena. The arena opens its doors at 7:30 p.m., and the show is billed for 9 p.m. local time.
The date was made public on 12 April 2026. A two-day presale for Itaú cardholders opened on 13 April, and general sale followed on 15 April.
Who El Plan de la Mariposa Are
The band formed in 2008 in Necochea, a coastal city in Buenos Aires province. Its core is the Andersen family: brothers Santiago and Sebastián and the triplets Máximo, Valentín and Camila.
Their debut album, Brote, came out in 2011. The sound blends rock, psychedelia, funk and Latin rhythms with reflective lyrics, and it has built a large following.
In 2025 the band toured Europe and Latin America, with dates in Santiago, Lima, Bogotá and Medellín. A stadium show at Argentinos Juniors in Buenos Aires was released as a live video.
A Growing Audience in Uruguay
Uruguay has been a steady stop for the band for several years. Earlier visits took them to smaller rooms such as the Sala del Museo del Carnaval in Montevideo.
In November 2025 they sold out the Teatro de Verano, the city’s open-air amphitheatre. The move to the Antel Arena is the next step up, and it is their first show there.
What the Tickets Cost
Tickantel lists three price levels, quoted in Uruguayan pesos. Prices here use about 40.1 pesos to the US dollar, the open.er-api.com rate on 27 September 2026.
Standing on the arena floor costs 1,580 Uruguayan pesos (about US$39). Seats on Level 3 cost 2,310 pesos (about US$58), and seats on Level 1 cost 3,565 pesos (about US$89).

Getting to the Arena

The car park opens 30 minutes before the doors, according to the venue. For a late weekday finish, a taxi or ride app is the simplest way back to the centre or Pocitos.
