The Uruguayan band Los Iracundos plays Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, on Sunday 25 October 2026. Passline, the seller, lists the Centro de Eventos de Lago Shopping and an 8 p.m. start.

Los Iracundos Ciudad del Este: One Sunday Night at Lago Shopping

Los Iracundos play the Centro de Eventos de Lago Shopping in Ciudad del Este on Sunday 25 October 2026. Passline lists an 8 p.m. start, local time.

The venue is the events hall inside Lago Shopping, a mall run by the Salemma retail group. Its address is Monseñor Rodríguez and Concejal Romero, in the city centre.

The Last Stop of a Four-City Paraguay Run

The Ciudad del Este date ends a short tour of Paraguay, as listed by the newspaper ABC Color on 21 September 2026. The band opens at the Auditorio Mariscal Francisco Solano López in Encarnación on 22 October.

Villarrica’s Teatro Municipal follows on 23 October, then the Central Bank of Paraguay’s Gran Teatro in Asunción on 24 October. Ciudad del Este follows the next evening.

Who Los Iracundos Are

The band began in Paysandú, a river city in western Uruguay, in 1958 under the name Los Blue Kings. It became Los Iracundos in 1964, after signing with the RCA Victor label.

Singer and composer Eduardo Franco gave the group its sound in the late 1960s. Songs such as Es la lluvia que cae and Puerto Montt made them a fixture of romantic Spanish-language pop.

Key early members have since died, including Franco in 1989 and drummer Juan Carlos Velázquez in 2022. His son, Sebastián Velázquez, now leads the group and is named as producer on the Passline listing.

A Tour After a Loss

Gianni Pivetta, who sang with the band for nearly three decades, died on 12 July 2026 at the age of 67. Montevideo Portal reported that health problems had kept him off stage since 2024.

The October dates come three months after his death. Neither Passline nor ABC Color names the singer who will front the Ciudad del Este show.

Tickets and Prices

Passline sells a single General tier for Ciudad del Este at 250,000 guaraníes (about US$42). Buyers can order up to 20 tickets in one transaction.

Dollar figures use the open.er-api.com rate of 27 September 2026, about 5,926 guaraníes to the dollar. The listing does not say whether a service charge is added at checkout.

The Asunción date the night before is dearer and fully seated. Passline lists Bronze at 280,000 guaraníes (about US$47), VIP Silver at 300,000 (about US$51) and VIP Gold at 350,000 (about US$59).

Getting to Ciudad del Este

Ciudad del Este is Paraguay’s second city, with about 326,000 people in 2022. It lies about 327 kilometres east of Asunción, on the border with Brazil.

The Friendship Bridge links the city with Foz do Iguaçu across the Paraná River, and Puerto Iguazú in Argentina is close by. Guaraní International Airport lies in neighbouring Minga Guazú.

Paraguay keeps UTC-3 all year, the same time as Foz do Iguaçu, so the 8 p.m. start is identical on both sides. Allow extra time for the bridge, where traffic often backs up.

What Has Not Been Published

Several details were missing from the Passline listing on 27 September 2026. No doors time, support act, age limit or seating plan had been published.

The page also carries no band line-up or show description. Buyers should check the listing again in the days before the concert.
