Good news for all Depeche Mode fans! The band is coming to Buenos Aires as part of their 2009 “Tour of the Universe.”
They will be playing Club Ciudad de Buenos Aires on Saturday, October 17, 2009. Ticket prices have not yet been set, but they will be available from Ticketek on Tuesday, May 19, 2009. We’ll update this post when we have more pricing details.
If you do not yet have an account with Ticketek, I’d recommend that you create one in advance of the on-sale date to make sure you don’t have any problems. You’ll need your passport number to register if you do not have a DNI or other form of local ID. Tickets will be available online as well as at Ticketek locations.
Depeche Mode’s next date after Buenos Aires isn’t until Thursday, October 22 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, which leaves open the possibility of adding additional dates should this first one sell out.
Some other upcoming international acts playing in Buenos Aires include George Clinton (5/19 – 5/21), Jonas Brothers (5/21), The Kooks (6/16 & 6/17 – both sold out), Cat Power (7/16), Aimee Mann (8/13) and maybe even Whitesnake.
Some great web sites for finding out about upcoming shows include Ticketek, Entradas Q and Vammos. All the sites are in Spanish, but are easy to navigate and can be translated with Google Translate.
Rock on!
