Milena Warthon plays the amphitheatre in the Parque de la Exposición in Lima on Saturday 19 September 2026. The show starts at 4.30 p.m. Lima time.
The venue is at the corner of Avenida 28 de Julio and Avenida Garcilaso de la Vega, in Cercado de Lima. It is open-air and holds several thousand.
Tickets start at 45 soles, about US$13, through Joinnus. The date is confirmed on the artist’s own website.
Who She Is
Milena Warthon is a Peruvian singer-songwriter, usually billed as the princess of Andean pop. The label describes a generation reworking Andean musical heritage into contemporary pop.
She sings in both Spanish and Quechua. That combination is the point rather than a decoration.
Her breakthrough came at Viña del Mar in Chile in 2023, the largest song festival in Latin America. She won the Gaviota de Plata in the folk competition with Warmisitay.
Her line afterwards became widely quoted in Peru. Andean girls, she said, can also be stars.
What the Latinchola Tour Is
The tour supports her second album, Latinchola. The word reclaims a term that has long been used as an insult in Peru.
This Lima date is the flagship of the run and her first major hometown presentation of the record. It follows a European leg earlier in 2026.
Those dates covered Spain, Belgium, London, Berlin and Milan. Peruvian shows in Huaraz and Cusco followed, along with Arica in northern Chile.
She has promised a full band, a dance troupe, choreography and both national and international guests. Arequipa follows on 24 October.
Tickets and What Is Not Published
Joinnus, the artist’s official ticketing platform, lists tickets from 45 soles, about US$13, though the full tier-by-tier table is not accessible online.
No Peruvian outlet has published the complete range either, so only the entry price is confirmed here.
Her official tour page marks Lima as having tickets available. By contrast it marks Huaraz, Arica, Cuenca and all five continental European dates as sold out.
It’s an unusual pattern: the European leg sold out while the hometown date has not, reversing the direction you would expect.
The Practical Case for an Afternoon Show
A 4.30 p.m. start is unusual for a concert of this size. Most of the performance runs in daylight and early evening.
For visitors cautious about central Lima after dark, that removes the main objection. The park empties while the streets are still busy.
September falls in the garúa season, the coastal fog that sits over Lima for much of the year. Expect grey skies and damp air rather than rain.
Temperatures sit around fifteen to eighteen degrees Celsius, roughly sixty to sixty-five Fahrenheit, once the sun drops. An open-air venue makes a layer worth carrying.
Getting There
The Parque de la Exposición is in the old centre, beside the Paseo Colón. The Metropolitano central station is a few minutes away on foot.
That makes it one of the easier large venues in Lima to reach without a taxi. The park itself is a nineteenth-century public garden with a Japanese garden inside it.
Los Cafres play the Círculo Militar in Jesús María the same evening. The two venues sit ten to fifteen minutes apart by taxi.
Both are therefore possible in one day. That is an unusual overlap for a single Saturday in Lima.
