Los Pericos Gran Rex Concert Set for 22 October 2026 in Argentina

ARGENTINA · LIVE MUSIC

The Los Pericos Gran Rex date brings the Argentine reggae band back to Avenida Corrientes with Inmortal, the studio album it released in 2026.

The Gran Rex Date

Los Pericos play the Teatro Gran Rex in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Thursday 22 October 2026. The band is presenting Inmortal, a ten track studio album released in 2026.

The start time had not been confirmed at the time of writing. Published listings give different figures, so readers should follow the time printed on their own ticket.

Tickets are sold through TuEntrada, the theatre’s ticketing partner. Prices differ by section, and the promoter had not published a single headline figure.

The platform also lists a meet and greet option. Buyers of that extra still need a normal show ticket to enter the auditorium.

About the Teatro Gran Rex

The Gran Rex stands at Avenida Corrientes 857, in the centre of Buenos Aires. It opened on 8 July 1937 and was designed by the architect Alberto Prebisch.

The building is an Art Deco cinema that became a concert hall. It seats about 3,300 people, which places it between a theatre and a small arena.

Avenida Corrientes is the city’s theatre street. The Gran Rex sits within walking distance of the Obelisco and of several subway lines.

The room is used mainly for concerts and musicals now. Argentine and international acts book it for single nights rather than long runs.

Who Los Pericos Are

Los Pericos are an Argentine reggae band formed in 1986. They were among the first groups to make reggae sung in Spanish a mainstream sound in South America.

Their debut album, El ritual de la banana, appeared in 1988 and sold strongly. Later records include Big Yuyo in 1993, Pampas Reggae in 1994 and Yerba Buena in 1996.

The line-up changed in 2004. Juanchi Baleirón moved from lead guitar to lead vocals after the departure of the singer known as Bahiano.

The band works well beyond Argentina. During 2026 it toured Colombia, Mexico and Honduras before turning back towards Buenos Aires.

Reggae sung in Spanish was not an obvious idea in the 1980s. Argentine radio was built around rock, and a band playing Jamaican rhythms in Buenos Aires was an outlier.

The group outlasted many of its peers from that decade. Four decades of touring have given it audiences in Mexico, Colombia and the United States as well.

What the New Album Changes

Inmortal is the reason for the date. The band describes it as a record about its own history, identity and memory, made after nearly four decades of touring.

The release came with side projects. Sesiones Inmortales is a set of acoustic video sessions, and Cápsulas del Tiempo places markers at sites that matter in the band’s history.

A Gran Rex night is a specific kind of show in Buenos Aires. It is seated, it is indoors, and it usually means a longer set than a festival slot allows.

The band had not published a set list. Nor had it said which guests, if any, would appear, and that detail often arrives only in the final week.

Practical Notes for Visitors

Concerts in Buenos Aires start late by European standards. A weekday show in this part of the city commonly begins well after 20:00 local time.

Argentina runs three hours behind UTC and does not change its clocks. Visitors arriving from Europe should plan for a late finish and a late return.

The area around Corrientes stays busy after a show. Cafes and pizzerias on the avenue serve late, and taxis are easy to find on the main street.

Ticket prices in Argentina move with inflation. A figure quoted months ahead may not match the price on sale, which is one reason to buy from the official platform.

One more caution. Resale sites list Gran Rex dates at a markup, and TuEntrada is the only sales route the promoter names.

Buenos Aires is an easy city for a concert trip. The theatre district sits close to hotels, and the subway runs until late on weekday evenings.

Bring identification if you buy online. Argentine venues often ask to see the card used for the purchase, or a document matching the name on the ticket.

Prices for the same show can differ widely. Stalls seats at the Gran Rex cost considerably more than the upper level, and the cheaper tiers sell out first.

The theatre is listed by Argentina’s national monuments commission. Its Art Deco interior is worth arriving early for, even if the concert is the reason for the visit.
