Los Fabulosos Cadillacs Play Santiago, Chile on 29 October

CHILE · CONCERTS

Argentine ska veterans Los Fabulosos Cadillacs share a three-band bill in Santiago with Fishbone and Chile’s own Chico Trujillo.

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, the Argentine rock and ska band behind Matador, play Santander Arena in Santiago, Chile, on Thursday, 29 October 2026. Fishbone and the Chilean cumbia orchestra Chico Trujillo complete the bill, according to the official seller, Puntoticket.

For US visitors planning a late-October trip, the cheapest seat costs about US$45, service charge included. A 30% discount on floor and lower-tier seats runs until Friday, 9 October, the seller says.

Who Is on the Bill

Futuro, a Chilean rock radio station, describes Los Fabulosos Cadillacs as an icon of Latin American rock and ska. Their best-known songs include Matador, Siguiendo la Luna and Carnaval Toda la Vida.

The station also describes the group as celebrating four decades of music.

Fishbone is a veteran band whose official site is marking 40 years of its 1986 album, In Your Face. The anniversary re-release features covers by artists including Silversun Pickups, Patrick Stump and Wheatus.

Chico Trujillo calls itself a Chilean cumbia orchestra on its official site. Its slot gives the night a local flavour alongside the two visiting bands.

The concert is produced by Comercial Coliseo Limitada, according to both the seller and the venue. The arena’s own calendar lists the show under the headline act’s name.

The Venue and How to Get There

Santander Arena is the indoor arena in Parque O’Higgins, a public park in the Santiago Centro district, at Beaucheff 1204. It was known as Movistar Arena until a naming deal with Banco Santander took effect in September, BioBioChile reported.

Some taxi apps and maps may still show the old name. If Santander Arena does not appear, search for Movistar Arena instead.

The venue says pedestrians always enter from the Parque O’Higgins side, where the Metro station is, or from Tupper street. Cars can enter only with a parking ticket bought in advance, via Avenida Viel or Avenida Tupper.

The arena posts door times for each show on its official Instagram account. Fans must show a printed or digital ticket together with an ID card or passport.

Bottles, food and drink, sharp objects, umbrellas, professional cameras and signs on sticks are not allowed inside. Leave them at your hotel to avoid queues at the security check.

Tickets and Prices

Puntoticket is the only official seller for all Santander Arena shows, the venue says, and it warns against unauthorised resellers. General sale opened on Monday, 28 September, at 4 p.m.

Prices, service charge included, run from CLP 43,700 (about US$45) for Tribuna to CLP 86,250 (about US$89) for Platea Baja Golden. Floor tickets and Platea Baja Silver cost CLP 69,000 (about US$71).

Platea Alta, the upper tier, costs CLP 48,300 (about US$50). Wheelchair spaces and companion seats are priced at the same CLP 48,300 (about US$50).

A 30% discount applies to the floor and lower-tier seats until Friday, 9 October, according to the seller. The event is open to all ages, but every attendee needs a ticket.

E-tickets can be downloaded from Friday, 23 October, at noon. Conversions use the Central Bank of Chile’s observed dollar rate published on 7 October 2026, CLP 967.79 per US dollar.

Tips for US and Foreign Visitors

US citizens need no visa for tourist stays of 90 days or less, according to the US State Department. Passports must be valid on entry and for the whole stay, with one blank page per stamp.

The State Department rates Chile at Level 2, “Exercise increased caution.” It warns that pickpocketing and muggings happen most often in tourist areas such as Cerro Santa Lucía and the Plaza de Armas.

It adds that thieves steal small bags on Santiago’s subway and in other crowded places. Keep phones and wallets in front pockets when leaving a packed arena.

Ride-share apps and taxis with orange and yellow licence plates are generally safe, the State Department says. It advises against unmetered taxis and unauthorised services.

It also notes that large demonstrations can occur in Santiago and disrupt buses and Metro services. Check local news before setting out on the day.

The show falls on a Thursday evening, so allow extra time for rush-hour traffic. Travellers of other nationalities should check Chile’s entry rules for their own passport before booking.

What It Means for You

If you are in Santiago at the end of October, one ticket buys three live bands in a single evening. Buying before Friday, 9 October, secures the discount on the floor and lower-tier seats.

Families can come along, since the show is open to all ages, but each child needs a ticket. The venue says children generally pay from the age of two, subject to each producer’s rules.

If you are flying in for the night, base yourself near a Metro line that reaches Parque O’Higgins. That keeps the trip home short and avoids hailing a car on the street.

What Is Not Known

The start time is unclear, with 7 p.m. on Puntoticket and 9 p.m. on the venue’s calendar. The earlier time may cover doors or the support acts, but neither source says so.

The running order, set lengths and door opening time have not been published. The listing also does not say whether foreign-issued cards are accepted at checkout.

What Comes Next

E-tickets become available to download on Friday, 23 October, six days before the show. The arena’s Instagram account should carry door times in the final week.

The end of the discount on 9 October does not mean the show will sell out. It only marks the end of the promotional price on the best seats.
