Los Fabulosos Cadillacs bring their 40th-anniversary tour to Bogotá, Colombia, on Saturday, October 17, 2026: Argentina’s legendary ska band plays the Estadio de Techo with four decades of Latin American anthems — from ‘Matador’ to ‘Vasos Vacíos’.
For expats in Bogotá, it is one of the most joyous live shows in the Spanish-speaking world: a brass-heavy party that Colombians have adopted as their own.
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs in Bogotá: Forty Years of Fiesta
The ‘LFC Tour 2026 — 40 Aniversario’ reaches Bogotá on October 17, bringing Argentina’s most enduring party band to the Estadio de Techo for a retrospective of Latin America’s ska-rock songbook.
Since 1985, the Cadillacs have fused ska, rock, salsa and murga into a sound that defined Spanish-language alternative music — and their live show remains a masterclass in controlled chaos.
Why Colombians Claim Them as Their Own
Few foreign bands are as woven into Colombian life: Cadillacs songs are staples of Bogotá’s bars, buses and family parties, and the band has headlined the country’s biggest festivals for decades.
October 17 falls in a huge concert month for the capital — two weeks after BTS’s stadium double and days before Caifanes play Medellín.
What to Expect at Estadio de Techo
The Estadio de Techo, in the Kennedy district, is Bogotá’s mid-size stadium for rock and tropical productions — loud, close and famously energetic.
Expect a multi-hour set covering the full catalogue, brass section front and center, and a crowd that dances from the first note.
Practical Tips for Expats
Kennedy is southwest of the center; TransMilenio and rideshare are the standard routes, and post-show demand is heavy — set a pickup point a block or two away.
Bogotá nights are cold at 2,600 meters: bring a jacket you can tie around your waist while dancing.
