The Australian rock band behind Are You Gonna Be My Girl plays its Santiago debut next April. Here is what a ticket costs and how US fans can go.
Australian rock band JET plays La Cúpula in Parque O’Higgins, central Santiago, on Tuesday, 13 April 2027, at 9 p.m. local time. Puntoticket, the official ticket seller, lists the night as the band’s debut in the Chilean capital.
Chile is on UTC minus four in April, so 9 p.m. in Santiago is also 9 p.m. in New York. A single general ticket costs CLP 52,900 (about US$54) with the service charge included.
Why This Show Matters to US Fans
JET formed in Melbourne in 2001, and its debut album Get Born came out in 2003. Puntoticket’s description says the album went platinum in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The same text says the band has sold more than 6.5 million records worldwide. It names Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Rollover DJ, Look What You’ve Done and Cold Hard Bitch among that album’s singles.
The band won six ARIA awards in 2004, the national prizes of the Australian music industry. It entered the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2023.
A second album, Shine On, followed in 2006 with songs such as Bring It On Back and Rip It Up. In 2023 the band marked 20 years of Get Born by returning to the stage.
For US readers, the draw is a rare South American date for a band whose debut sold well in the United States. Puntoticket describes the night as one devoted to the biggest anthems of the band’s career.
Schedule and Start Time
Puntoticket lists the show for Tuesday, 13 April 2027, at 21:00 Chile time. The Cúpula sits inside Parque O’Higgins, a public park in central Santiago.
The Santiago date follows the band’s Bogotá show on Saturday, 10 April 2027. Press coverage says it also follows the band’s appearance at Festival REC 2026 in Concepción.
Chile ends its summer time in early April, so the show falls on UTC minus four. US Eastern time is on daylight time then, so there is no time difference.
On the US West Coast, 9 p.m. in Santiago is 6 p.m. Pacific time. The listing gives no doors time, opening act or set length, so check the Puntoticket page again closer to April.
Tickets and Prices
Puntoticket is the official seller, and its page names Fantasías y Conciertos SpA as the producer. General sale opened on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, at 10:00 Chile time.
The page shows a single general-admission sector at CLP 52,900 (about US$54), with the service charge included. On 3 November it listed no other price categories.
The listing says the event is open to all audiences and that everyone must pay an entry ticket. Parents should ask Puntoticket about any age rules before buying for children.
Buy only on the Puntoticket website or at its listed sales points, and avoid resellers on social media. A US card may add a foreign transaction fee on a peso purchase.
Keep your order confirmation and the card you paid with. The page showed no sold-out notice on 3 November, and whether the show will sell out is not yet known.
Getting to La Cúpula
The Cúpula is inside Parque O’Higgins, and the Metro de Santiago has a Parque O’Higgins station on Line 2. Check the entrance and gate details on the Puntoticket page before you go.
Metro runs from 6:00 to 23:00 on weekdays, and it warns that riders entering near closing time may miss connections. A show that starts at 9 p.m. may end close to that hour, so keep a backup plan for the ride home.
Weekday Metro fares run from CLP 735 (about US$0.75) late in the evening to CLP 895 (about US$0.91) at peak. Metro says riders can pay with a bip! card, a debit, credit or prepaid card, or a mobile phone.
Ride-hailing apps and prearranged taxis are the simplest options after the show. The State Department advises travellers not to leave luggage unattended, even in a locked vehicle.
Safety and Costs for Visitors
The State Department rates Chile at Level 2, Exercise Increased Caution, in an advisory issued on 16 January 2025. It cites crime and civil unrest.
It says street crime such as muggings, pickpocketing and theft is common, and violent crime is reported to be rising. Demonstrations can happen with little or no notice and can disrupt buses and Metro service.
It advises travellers to avoid demonstrations, carry a copy of the passport and enrol in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program. The US Embassy in Santiago can be reached on +56 2 2330 3000.
US citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days. They receive a tourist card on arrival that must be returned when they leave.
The passport must be valid for the whole stay and have a blank page for the entry stamp. The State Department page says tourists must show at least US$46 a day to cover expenses.
The State Department strongly recommends medical evacuation insurance, because US Medicare does not apply overseas. Carry prescriptions in their original packaging with a doctor’s prescription.
Conversions in this guide use 981.82 pesos per US dollar, the official observed rate of Chile’s central bank on 3 November 2026. A ticket at about US$54 is the main fixed cost, before flights, a hotel and rides.
What It Means for You
For US residents, JET in Santiago is a one-night show that needs a longer trip around it. Book flexible flights until the doors time and opening act are published.
Buy only through Puntoticket, and check the event page again before you travel. Plan the ride home before the show, because the Metro closes at 23:00 on weekdays.
If you are building a longer trip, JET also plays Bogotá on 10 April 2027. Each date has its own seller and its own rules.
What Is Not Known
The Puntoticket page gives no doors time, opening act or set length. It also does not state the venue’s capacity or entry rules, such as bag limits.
The listing shows one price category, and it is not clear whether others will be added. Whether the show will sell out has not been announced.
Some press reports call the venue La Cúpula and others Teatro La Cúpula. Check the venue details on the Puntoticket page before you travel.
No US tour date for the band was checked for this guide. US fans should look at the band’s own channels for news.
