Spanish singer Melendi plays his only announced Colombian show on Friday, 12 February 2027, at the new DAVIarena near Medellín. Tickets are on sale from COP 216,500 (about US$68).
Spanish singer Melendi plays DAVIarena in Sabaneta, a town in the Medellín metropolitan area, on Friday, 12 February 2027. The show starts at 8:00 p.m., the same clock time as New York, since both are five hours behind UTC in February.
Tuboleta, the official ticket seller, has tickets on sale from COP 216,500 (about US$68) to COP 697,400 (about US$220). The arena is new, and this concert falls three months after its opening night on 14 November 2026.
What the Melendi Concert Is
Melendi is touring his new album Pop Rock, and the ticket page bills Medellín as his only Colombian date. It calls the show a new tour, a new album and a new stage.
The ticket page says the concert lasts about two hours, and the seating is numbered. Minimum age is 13, and pregnant women are allowed in.
Four sectors, numbered 305, 306, 310 and 311, are alcohol-free and are meant for adults with children. Alcohol is neither sold nor allowed in those sectors.
- Artist: Melendi, a Spanish pop-rock singer-songwriter.
- Venue: DAVIarena, a new indoor arena in Sabaneta, south of Medellín.
- Ticket seller: Tuboleta, the only authorised operator for the arena.
- Language: the songs are in Spanish.

Who Melendi Is
Melendi is a singer-songwriter from Asturias, in northern Spain, and his label Sony Music Spain says he has 24 platinum records. It also says he has sold more than 3.5 million copies.
His new album is called Pop Rock, and Sony names Mentiras Arriesgadas as the latest single. The label calls Veneno y Arena the album’s highlight.
His previous album was 20 años sin noticias, which Sony says cemented his place in the Spanish scene. The label also says he sold more concert tickets than any other Spanish artist last year.
Sony does not say when it measured that claim, so treat it as the label’s own description. Most of his catalogue is in Spanish, so English speakers will hear lyrics they may not follow.
Tickets and Prices for Melendi in Medellín
Tuboleta says it is the only authorised ticket operator for DAVIarena, and Melendi’s own tour page links to it. TicketLive, a rival seller, says it does not sell this event and warns against buying through WhatsApp or social media.
A presale for Davivienda cardholders ran from Wednesday, 14 October to Friday, 16 October 2026. General sale opened on Friday, 16 October at 9:00 a.m. and runs until tickets sell out.

The page limits presale buyers to four tickets per transaction and general-sale buyers to six. It says the final price can change with supply and demand.
Tickets arrive in the Tuboleta Pass app in the days before the show. Download it early, and log in with the same email you used to buy.
Buyers pay an extra fee for delivery through the website, call centre or sales points, and Tuboleta shows it before payment. The page says international bank cards work from general sale, but check how those tickets are delivered.
Getting to DAVIarena
DAVIarena stands at Carrera 49 number 52 Sur-200 in Sabaneta, a separate municipality just south of Medellín. Tuboleta says it is about 500 metres from Itagüí station on Metro Line A.
Tuboleta’s venue page gives a walk of five to eight minutes from the station, toward the Mayorca shopping centre. Telemedellín, a local TV outlet, puts the complex 350 metres from the station.
Telemedellín adds that the Metro de Medellín is coordinating extended hours on concert nights. The article gives no hours, so check the Metro’s official channels before the show.
The venue page lists taxi and ride-hailing drop-off points at Itagüí station, at Mayorca and on Avenida Las Vegas. Local buses from Sabaneta, Envigado and Itagüí stop about five minutes’ walk away.
The venue page says DAVIarena has no parking for the general public and advises using the metro. Parking in the venue tower, with more than 500 spaces, is for VIP guests, who need a separate parking ticket.
What to Expect at the Venue
DAVIarena is a five-floor indoor arena with a maximum capacity of 17,900, according to Tuboleta. Telemedellín says it was designed by HOK, the firm behind London’s O2 Arena.
The venue page lists seven entrance gates, escalators and lifts to all five floors. It also lists 57 restrooms, 16 bars and 20 food and drink points, plus free Wi-Fi.
It says 54 places are set aside for visitors with reduced mobility, and each companion needs a ticket. Tell Tuboleta about the need when you buy, as the page asks.
Sectors 301 and 315 can have restricted views, depending on the stage, screens and lights. The ticket page says buyers accept this and cannot complain afterwards.
Start times can change with weather or decisions by the local emergency command post, the page warns. Arrive early, because the venue says it wants fans inside well before the show.
Entry Rules and Safety for US Visitors
Colombia’s foreign ministry says US citizens can enter without a visa with a valid passport and stay up to 90 days. Check Migración Colombia for any pre-arrival form before you fly.
This guide could not confirm the current US State Department travel advisory level for Colombia. Read the live advisory for Colombia and for Antioquia before you book.
Concert nights draw crowds, so keep your phone in a front pocket and carry only the cash you need. Use licensed taxis or ride-hailing from the venue drop-off points, and plan your ride back before the encore.
What It Means for You
A pair of seats costs about US$137 at the lowest price and about US$440 at the highest, before transport. Add a hotel in Medellín, where the metro makes the ride to the venue short.
The 8:00 p.m. start matches New York time, so East Coast fans face no jet lag. Buy only through Tuboleta, and keep your passport with you in Colombia.
What Is Not Known
The opening act, set length and setlist have not been published. The ticket page does not say how many tickets remain in each zone.
The current State Department advisory level for Colombia is unconfirmed here, because its page could not be opened. Check it before you travel.
Tuboleta’s Melendi page says the event has a parking zone, but its venue page says the arena has no public parking. Confirm with Tuboleta before you drive.
It is unclear if international-card buyers must collect tickets at the box office. The page says tickets reach the Tuboleta Pass app but also says delivery is at the box office.
The Metro’s extended hours for this date have not been published. DAVIarena also opens only on 14 November 2026, so no show has yet run in the venue.
What Comes Next
DAVIarena opens with Juanes on Saturday, 14 November 2026, and Fonseca plays there on Saturday, 6 February 2027. Laura Pausini follows on Sunday, 7 March 2027, according to the venue’s event list.
Watch the Tuboleta event page for any opening act, and the Metro’s channels for night hours. Melendi’s own tour page lists the same date and links to the same seller.
