Pixies, the alternative rock band from Boston, play Movistar Arena in Bogotá on Saturday 17 April 2027, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and an 8 p.m. start. Tuboleta, the only authorised seller, opened the general sale on Monday 19 October 2026 at 10 a.m.

For US readers the essentials are short: tickets cost from about US$83 to about US$189 including fees, and no visa is needed for a stay of up to 90 days. Dollar figures use the 16 October 2026 closing rate of 3,175.59 Colombian pesos to the US dollar.

Who the Pixies Are

Pixies are a rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, and the line-up on the band’s own website is Black Francis, Joey Santiago, David Lovering and Emma Richardson. The ticket page for the band’s Chile dates calls them undisputed pioneers of alternative rock whose sound shaped the grunge of the 1990s.

Their best-known albums include “Surfer Rosa” and “Doolittle”, and the same page credits the band with crossing Black Francis’s frantic vocals with dissonant guitars and pop melodies. Tuboleta sells the Bogotá night under the title Pixies South America 2027.

Other Dates in South America

Bogotá is one of several 2027 dates in the region, and the Chilean dates come first. Puntoticket lists Pixies at the Teatro del Lago in Frutillar on 25 March and at Santander Arena in Santiago on 29 March.

The Bogotá concert is promoted by Promotora Colombia, the company named as responsible on the ticket page. Tuboleta states that it is the only authorised ticket operator for the show.

Tickets and Prices in Pesos and Dollars

Tuboleta lists four price areas, and three of them move from a first-stage price to a higher full price once a set number of tickets is sold. Every figure below includes the service charge, and Tuboleta adds a delivery fee per transaction that it shows before payment.

Platea, the general admission area, costs 264,000 pesos (about US$83) in the first stage and 300,000 pesos (about US$94) after that. Seats in Piso 2, sections 206 to 214, cost 300,000 pesos (about US$94) and then 348,000 pesos (about US$110).

Piso 2 sections 202 to 205 and 215 to 218 cost 360,000 pesos (about US$113) and then 408,000 pesos (about US$128). Tribuna Fan Sur, a block of 155 numbered seats, costs 600,000 pesos (about US$189).

Tuboleta warns that prices can change at any time with supply and demand, and buyers can take up to six tickets per transaction. Sections 201, 219, 301 and 319 may have a restricted view, depending on the stage set-up.

Cards issued by foreign banks work from the general sale onward, but tickets bought that way are handed over only at the box office, to the cardholder. A US visitor paying with a US card should therefore plan to collect the tickets in person before the show.

Movistar Arena and How to Get There

Movistar Arena stands at Diagonal 61C #26-35 in Bogotá, with partner parking at the neighbouring El Campín stadium and at the Palacio de los Deportes. The arena has its own TransMilenio station, named Movistar Arena, on the city’s rapid bus network.

Bus routes on Calle 63 and Carrera 30 also stop nearby, and there are two Tembici bike-share stations, by the skate park and at El Campín. For taxis, the arena advises trusted ride apps or registered taxis, which can drop passengers near the main entrances.

Sections 206, 214, 306 and 314 are alcohol-free zones, with no sale or drinking of alcohol. Tuboleta also says women who are visibly pregnant will not be admitted, following the authorities’ recommendations.

What It Means for You

US citizens need no visa for stays of 90 days or less, and the State Department recommends a passport with six months of validity. Travellers must also complete Colombia’s free online Check-MIG form between 1 and 72 hours before the flight.

The State Department rates Colombia at Level 3, reconsider travel, the second-highest of its four levels. In Bogotá that means using ride-hailing apps or registered taxis at night and keeping phones out of sight around the arena after the show.

US citizens who are also Colombian nationals must enter and leave Colombia on their Colombian passport, according to the State Department. Nobody under 14 can attend, because Tuboleta sets a minimum age of 14 for this concert.

Bogotá sits at about 2,600 meters (8,500 feet) above sea level, so visitors arriving from the coast may feel the altitude on the first day. Colombia keeps the same time all year, five hours behind UTC, which in April matches US Central Daylight Time.

What Is Not Known

No support act has been named, and the setlist and running time have not been published. Tuboleta notes that times can change for operational or weather reasons or on the orders of the authorities.

It is not clear how quickly the first-stage allocations will sell out or whether a second Bogotá date will be added. Buyers should check Tuboleta and the arena’s channels in the weeks before 17 April.
