U2 will not perform in Chile during the Latin American leg of their 2027 world tour, ending a tradition that has seen the Irish rock band visit the country on every previous regional tour.
The band announced six concerts on October 15, with shows scheduled in Mexico City, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires. Negotiations to bring U2 back to Santiago had reportedly been underway since 2025 but ended without an agreement.
Scheduling restrictions at Santiago’s Estadio Nacional may have complicated the plans. The venue has increasingly prioritized sporting events, although its availability has not been confirmed as the reason negotiations failed.
