Argentina · Concerts

The band brings its Take Cover Tour to Estadio River Plate next February. And here is everything a Buenos Aires fan needs to plan the night.

Foo Fighters are coming back to Buenos Aires. And if you have been waiting to see the band live in Argentina, this is the date to circle.

The rock veterans will play Estadio River Plate on Thursday 25 February 2027 as part of their Take Cover Tour. So anyone living in or visiting the city has plenty of time to plan the night.

Because tickets are already on sale, it is worth sorting your seats sooner rather than later.

Foo Fighters return to Buenos Aires

After years away, Foo Fighters are heading back to the Argentine capital for a single stadium night. The concert lands on Thursday 25 February 2027, right in the middle of the southern summer.

So it should be a warm, open-air evening. The show is billed under the band’s Take Cover Tour.

For long-time fans in the city, it is one of the biggest rock dates on the 2027 calendar. And it slots neatly into the run of international acts that pass through Buenos Aires each summer.

Because the band is only playing one night here, demand is high. So if seeing them matters to you, treat the date as fixed and build your plans around it now.

When the concert takes place

The gig is set for Thursday 25 February 2027. That is a weeknight, so factor in an early start the next morning if you are working.

Doors and set times had not been published at the time of writing. However, for a stadium show of this size.

Expect gates to open in the late afternoon and the headline set to begin after dark, once support acts have played.

Where it happens: Estadio River Plate

The venue is Estadio River Plate, also known as the Estadio Más Monumental, home of the River Plate football club. It sits in the Núñez neighborhood, in the leafy northern stretch of Buenos Aires, along Avenida Figueroa Alcorta.

This is Argentina’s largest stadium, and it regularly hosts the country’s marquee concerts. As a result, the area knows how to handle big crowds, though it still fills up fast on show nights.

Núñez is an easy-going, residential part of town near the river. Because it is well connected to the rest of the city.

Getting in and out is manageable even with tens of thousands of other fans.

What tickets cost

Prices are set in Argentine pesos and span a wide range, depending on where you want to stand or sit. The cheapest option is the Platea Sívori Alta, from about ARS 132,250.

Which works out to roughly US$86 at the mid-August 2026 blue rate of around ARS 1,540 to the dollar. If you would rather be on the pitch, Campo General runs about ARS 201,250, or around US$131.

While the front-of-field Campo Delantero jumps to about ARS 396,750, close to US$258. The top preferential plateas sit near ARS 419,750, or about US$273.

Those figures include the service charge. Keep in mind that the US dollar equivalents are only a guide, since Argentina’s exchange rate moves a lot.

For an accurate cost, check the rate on the day you buy and pay in pesos.

How to buy Foo Fighters tickets

Tickets are sold exclusively online through All Access, at allaccess. com.

ar. There is no legitimate box-office alternative, so ignore any other seller claiming to have them.

General sale opened on Wednesday 12 August 2026, following a Banco Macro Visa presale on Tuesday 11 August. Because the presale window has closed, everyone now buys through the standard general sale.

To purchase, create an All Access account, log in, pick your sector and quantity, then enter your payment details. The platform caps orders at four tickets per user, so plan ahead if you are booking for a group.

Buying from abroad or as a visitor

If you are outside Argentina, an international card usually works on All Access, though your bank may apply its own foreign-exchange rate. So the peso price is fixed, but what lands on your statement depends on your card.

For visitors flying in for the show, book the ticket first and the trip second. Because a late-February weeknight in Buenos Aires is peak summer.

Flights and hotels are easier to lock in once your seats are confirmed.

Getting to the stadium

The simplest way to reach the Monumental is by ride-hailing app or taxi, especially on a busy concert night. Drop-offs get congested close to gate time, however, so aim to arrive early and walk the last few blocks.

Public transport is a solid alternative. Several bus lines serve Núñez, and the nearby train stations on the Mitre line put you within a reasonable walk of the ground.

Which helps you skip the post-show traffic crush.

Where to stay nearby

If you want to be close, the northern neighborhoods of Núñez, Belgrano and Palermo offer the handiest base. From there, the stadium is a short ride, so you are not stuck in a long trek home afterwards.

For a more central stay, Recoleta and the microcentro are still an easy taxi ride away. Either way, book early, because a summer weekend in Buenos Aires draws plenty of visitors and the best-value rooms go first.

Where to eat and drink around Núñez

Before the show, the parrillas and cafés around Belgrano and Núñez are a good place to line your stomach. A classic Argentine steak or a plate of empanadas makes the right pre-gig meal.

After the encore, the crowd spills into nearby bars for a late drink. Because Buenos Aires eats and drinks late, you will find plenty open well past midnight.

So there is no rush to call it a night.

Tips for concert night

First, bring your ID and the card you paid with, since venues sometimes check them at entry. That small step can save you a headache at the gate.

Second, travel light, as stadium security limits what you can carry inside. Finally, dress for a warm evening that can cool off later.

And carry a little cash for drinks or a taxi, because not every vendor takes cards.

Why the show matters for expats

For newcomers, a stadium night like this is a fast way to feel part of the city. In one evening you join tens of thousands of locals doing something Buenos Aires does brilliantly.

Which is turning out for live music. It is also a reminder that the capital sits on the main South American touring circuit.

Because global acts keep adding Buenos Aires dates. Living here means you rarely have to travel far to catch the bands you love.
