Gorillaz play the Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida in Santiago on Friday 4 December 2026, on their The Mountain Tour. Tickets are sold only through Ticketmaster Chile, from about US$68 to about US$292 with the service charge.

Gorillaz Santiago 2026 is a single stadium night on Friday 4 December at the Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida, in the La Florida district of the Chilean capital. The British virtual band, founded by Damon Albarn and the artist Jamie Hewlett, brings its new album The Mountain to the city.

For a US reader the practical points are short: no visa is needed for a tourist stay of up to 90 days, and the cheapest ticket costs about US$68. Ticketmaster Chile says it is not responsible for tickets bought outside its own system, so any other listing carries risk.

Gorillaz in Santiago: One Night in La Florida

The concert takes place on Friday 4 December 2026, and the promoter DG Medios lists it on its own page as part of The Mountain Tour. Ticketmaster Chile gives the same date and the same venue.

Gorillaz last toured South America at length in 2023, and the seller calls this run the first extended visit to the region since then. Santiago is one stop on that run, and the Chilean date is a single show with no second night announced.

What Gorillaz Bring to the Stage

Ticketmaster says Damon Albarn will be joined on stage by the live band and by some very special guests. The listing does not name those guests, and no support act has been published for Santiago.

The tour follows two shows in Los Angeles, where the band played the whole of The Mountain from start to finish. According to Cooperativa, the run opens in the United Kingdom and Europe before it reaches the Americas.

Fans can expect songs such as Feel Good Inc., Clint Eastwood and On Melancholy Hill, which Cooperativa names among the catalogue highlights. No setlist has been published for the Santiago night, so that list is a guide to the catalogue and not a promise.

The Album Behind the Tour

The Mountain is the ninth studio album from Gorillaz and holds 15 songs. Cooperativa lists Sparks, Trueno, Bizarrap, Omar Souleyman, Anoushka Shankar and Tony Allen among its guests.

Trueno and Bizarrap are Argentine artists, which gives the record a link to the Southern Cone for a Santiago crowd. Whether any guest joins the band on stage in Chile has not been stated.

Cooperativa also notes that Guinness World Records recognises Gorillaz as the most successful virtual band in the world. The group began as a cartoon project from Albarn and Hewlett and now fills stadiums with a live band and animated screens.

How Tickets Work on Ticketmaster

Ticketmaster Chile ran two presales from noon on Wednesday 4 March to noon on Friday 6 March 2026, one for Entel customers and one for Santander cardholders. Each presale carried a 20 percent discount on the ticket value, with a limit of four tickets per purchase.

General sale opened at noon on Friday 6 March 2026, also with a limit of four tickets per purchase. The seller states that tickets are named, which means they are tied to the buyer’s details.

Every person aged two or older needs their own ticket, according to the seller. That rule matters for families, because a small child cannot share a place on a parent’s ticket.

What Each Section Costs in US Dollars

Chilean outlets published the general-sale totals for twelve ticket types, each including the service charge. The dollar figures below use the observed dollar of 16 October 2026, which stood at 984.09 pesos to the dollar.

  • PIT: 287,500 pesos (about US$292)
  • Pacífico Centro: 212,750 pesos (about US$216)
  • Platea Zafiro: 184,000 pesos (about US$187)
  • Pacífico Sur: 172,500 pesos (about US$175)
  • Platea Royal: 161,000 pesos (about US$164)
  • Cancha Frontal: 155,250 pesos (about US$158)
  • Pacífico Vista Parcial: 120,750 pesos (about US$123)
  • Platea Baja: 109,250 pesos (about US$111)
  • Platea Zafiro Vista Parcial: 97,750 pesos (about US$99)
  • Tribuna Central: 86,250 pesos (about US$88)
  • Cancha General and Movilidad Reducida: 66,700 pesos (about US$68)

The promoter DG Medios shows the service charge as 15 percent of the full face value, added on top of the ticket. The 20 percent presale discount applied only to the ticket value and not to that charge.

These prices are the ones published when sales opened in March 2026. The live Ticketmaster page could not be checked for current availability, so some sections may already have sold out.

The Venue and How to Get There

The Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida is the home ground of the football club Audax Italiano. According to Emol, it opened in 1986, was rebuilt in 2008 and holds 11,376 spectators for sport.

Viajando Chile puts the capacity for music events above 28,000 people. That is the figure to keep in mind for queues at the gates and for the walk to public transport afterwards.

Emol’s stadium guide names Rojas Magallanes and Trinidad, both on Line 4 of the Metro, as the nearest stations. Viajando Chile suggests riding Line 4 to Rojas Magallanes and then either walking about 22 minutes or taking a bus along the avenue named for the stop.

Visitors based in the centre of the city should plan the return trip before the show, because ride-hailing prices and queues tend to rise when a stadium empties. The monthly What to Do in Santiago in October 2026: Foro de las Artes, Festival Bamba and Iron Maiden guide shows how the city handles other big concert nights.

Tips for US Visitors

The US State Department’s Chile page, read on 17 October 2026, says US citizens on tourist passports need no visa for stays of 90 days or less. The passport must be valid at entry and for the length of the stay, with at least one blank page for each stamp.

Visitors receive a tourist card on arrival and must hand it back when they leave. The card can be extended once for another 90 days at a fee of US$100.

The same page gives Chile a Level 2 advisory, which means exercise increased caution, citing crime, unrest and health. It says pickpocketing and muggings are most common in tourist locations, among them Plaza de Armas, Mercado Central and Cerro Santa Lucía in Santiago.

It also warns that large demonstrations can disrupt buses and the Santiago Metro with little or no notice. Concert-goers who rely on Line 4 should keep a ride-hailing or taxi option ready, and carry only what they need to the stadium.

Anyone following the tour across the border can read the site’s guide Gorillaz Córdoba 2026: Argentina Show at the Kempes on Thursday 26 November. Prices for each country are set locally, so a US buyer should compare only totals that include the service charge.

What Is Not Confirmed Yet

No doors time, start time or curfew has been published for the Santiago show. Nor has a support act been named, so the length of the night is still unknown.

No setlist has been released, and the guests Ticketmaster promises on stage have not been named. The seat map and the stage layout inside the stadium have also not been shown in the sources checked.

Current availability by section is unconfirmed, and so are any extra rules on bags, cameras or umbrellas. Parking at the stadium is not covered by the seller or the promoter in the pages checked.
