The Mon Laferte Costa Rica concert on 5 December 2026 brings her Femme Fatale Tour to Parque Viva, near San José.
Mon Laferte, the Chilean-Mexican singer-songwriter, plays Costa Rica on Saturday 5 December 2026 at 7 p.m. Costa Rica time. The show takes place at Parque Viva, an outdoor events park in La Guácima, Alajuela, west of the capital San José. Tickets on eticket.cr cost from US$83.73 to US$169.64, and entry is for over-18s only.
A singer who belongs to two countries
Mon Laferte was born Norma Monserrat Bustamante Laferte in Viña del Mar, a port city in central Chile, in 1983. She began writing songs as a child, after winning a guitar in a school contest.
In 2007 she moved to Mexico and started again, singing in bars and nightclubs. Mexico became her artistic home, and in 2022 she received Mexican citizenship.
Her breakthrough came in 2015 with “Tu falta de querer”, a heartbreak ballad that was certified diamond in Mexico. “Amárrame” and “Mi buen amor” followed and reached the same level.
Her music moves between bolero, rock, pop, cumbia and jazz, often in one concert. She has won five Latin Grammy Awards, the most for any Chilean performer, and received three Grammy nominations.
Femme Fatale, the album behind the tour
The current tour takes its name from Femme Fatale, her tenth studio album. Sony Music Latin released it on 24 October 2025.
Its 14 songs lean on jazz, bolero and old-style romantic song. Guests include Nathy Peluso, Natalia Lafourcade, Silvana Estrada, Tiago Iorc and the Argentine group Conociendo Rusia.
A second volume followed on 12 June 2026. Femme Fatale Vol. 2 has 20 songs from the same writing period, with a rougher mix of rock, folk and blues. The American guitarist St. Vincent appears on one track.
Recent shows on this tour have run in acts, with visual interludes and stage changes between them. They mix the new songs with the older hits that built her following.
Where Costa Rica fits on the route
Costa Rica sits near the end of a long 2026 run. In May, The Rio Times covered her three sold-out nights at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes. She also played São Paulo that month.
The autumn leg starts in Bogotá, Colombia, on 11 October. It then crosses Mexico in November, with stops in Monterrey, Saltillo, Tampico, Villahermosa and Orizaba.
In December she plays Guatemala City on the 3rd and Costa Rica two days later. The tour closes in the Mexican cities of León on 10 December and Oaxaca on 12 December.
This is not her first visit. She played La Luneta at the Estadio Nacional, Costa Rica’s national stadium in San José, in April 2024. She returned for the Picnic music festival in 2025.
Tickets, prices and the eticket sale
eticket is a Costa Rican ticketing company, and it is the only seller authorised for this show. Costa Rica’s Ministry of Economy, Industry and Commerce, known as MEIC, must approve advance sales for public shows.
The ministry approved the event in July and allowed a presale of 9,407 tickets, according to the news site CR Hoy. The ticket page does not name a concert promoter.
The eticket page lists all prices in US dollars, with the service charge already included. The lowest are the 500 Especial seating sections at US$83.73 each. Standing places on the terraces cost US$84.66.
Mid-range seats in the 400 and 500 sections run from US$89.30 to US$122.77. The Golden Circle, the area closest to the stage, costs from US$136.16 to US$169.64.
Tickets can be added to an Apple or Google phone wallet. The page also offers a buy-now, pay-later option, and eticket runs physical sales points around the country.
Parque Viva, an events park on an old racetrack
Parque Viva is an entertainment complex in La Guácima, a district of Alajuela province on the western edge of the Central Valley. Grupo Nación, publisher of the newspaper La Nación, owns it.
The park opened in 2015 on the grounds of the Autódromo La Guácima, Costa Rica’s first motor-racing circuit from 1974. Its open-air amphitheatre now hosts many of the country’s largest concerts.
The show is rated for over-18s only. Every guest needs photo identification, and for a foreign visitor that means a passport.
The organiser has not published a door opening time or the length of the set. No opening act has been announced. Early December usually marks the start of the dry season in the Central Valley, but evenings can turn cool.
Getting to La Guácima and back
Parque Viva lies about 6 kilometres from Juan Santamaría International Airport, the main airport serving San José. The venue says the drive from the airport takes about 18 minutes in normal traffic.
The park has 3,900 parking spaces. Drivers can pre-book a space at parqueate.cr, which uses Compass toll cards to speed up entry. For large events, guarded parking lots in San José run a return shuttle bus.
The bus companies Zúñiga e Hijos and TUASA add special services for major concerts, according to the venue. Taxis and ride-hail apps such as Uber have their own drop-off zone inside the grounds.
Big concerts at Parque Viva bring heavy traffic on the roads around La Guácima. Leaving early, and agreeing a meeting point with friends before the show, makes the night calmer.
A busy end of year for Costa Rica’s concert scene
Mon Laferte arrives in a busy concert season for Costa Rica. Parque Viva alone lists Alejandro Sanz, Soda Stereo, Gorillaz and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs in November, with Rawayana on 12 December.
Karol G plays two nights at the Estadio Nacional on 27 and 28 November. Some of these shows have already sold out, while others still have tickets.
Tours often link Central American capitals in a single week. Mon Laferte follows that pattern, with Guatemala City two days before Costa Rica and Mexico straight after.
For residents and visitors, the Mon Laferte date is one evening in a crowded calendar. Tickets remain on sale through a single official seller.
