Peru has enjoyed a burgeoning reputation as one of South America’s fastest-growing economies, reflected by its capital Lima’s standing as a pivotal player in the continent’s touring circuit.
Key to Peru’s growth in the live entertainment hierarchy is One Entertainment’s Arena 1, which opened in 2019 and is situated 20 minutes from the Jorge Chávez International Airport on the Costa Verde of San Miguel. Able to hold up to 16,000 fans, it has an area span of 36,000m2 with a 20m x 20m stage and a long promenade. Forthcoming shows include Disney 100, The Chainsmokers, and Natalia Lafourcade.
Arena Péru was an outdoor alternative holding up to 23,000 spectators, but at the time of writing, it was going through a restructuring and had no concerts booked. It previously hosted Luis Fonsi, Avril Lavigne, J Balvin, and Louis Tomlinson, alongside a slew of major LatAm artists.
Also in the capital is the 4,000-capacity Anfiteatro de la Parque de la Exposición, situated in the eponymous city centre park.
