Arena Market: Venezuela

Having been mired in political, economic, and social crises for years, not least a disputed presidential election, which is hoped to be resolved in 2024, Venezuela is a tricky stop for international tours.

In Caracas, live music often takes place at the 5,000-capacity Terraza del C.C.C.T. (the Centro Ciudad Comercial Tamanaco), which has seen Spanish rapper Rels B, Argentine ska band Los Pericos, and multi-genre duo Ha*Ash strut their stuff in 2023. There was also an OM Producciones, Prodec, and RM53 Entertainment Group-promoted show by Gloria Trevi.

The Poliedro de Caracas, which can hold up to 20,000 fans and can boast Nine Inch Nails, Kylie Minogue, and Aerosmith among its past performances, is an alternative to the Terraza del C.C.C.T., though its sole upcoming concert – Broadway’s Hamilton star Ryan Vasquez – isn’t scheduled until next year.
